Actually, I didn't take those runes from the platinum player's guide. I took the ones you suggested, along with the gold quints someone else had suggested, and mpen was the only AP ones useful for , unless you wanna get her AD, which makes no sense. The fact that you concluded that I "copied" from someone else's guide is just senseless from your part. Not to mention, every single comment you've left on my guide is just negative, negative, negative. Isn't there anything you like in it? And if there isn't, why do you continue coming back to criticize my guide in a non-constructive manner. Some people have left comments that basically say "oh your items aren't good, try this and that instead." which is what I look for in comments. I'm sorry, but I just lost my patience with you.

Also, check the other comments. You'll see that every single change I've done in my guide comes from someone else's suggestion. Example: The items you said I "copied" are from a comment which I replied to exactly before you commented this. Look above.

Also, going back to the first statement, if you play correctly, there's no reason why you should be feeding the enemy team at all.

I like you choice of summoner spells. I've been playing with/against several 's and i've never seen them have the true need to use or . Their CC works wonderfully.

Some rambling about your items:
It's range is pitiful. Only ~400. If you, as are that close, you are in trouble.
Is a really neat choice as she can do a lot of CC with it to help her team. It is a carry item, so I recommend finding a more support item for the optional's slot. I do see where you are going with it and I agree that I find it very interesting.
I'd drop it from your list. It's a tank item. You aren't the tank on the team. If you are going to grab something like it, get the if you must.
Again, remember is the support, not the carry. It's nice to have a 5th damage dealer on a team, but not at the expense of the dedicated support not buying hardly any aura items. This does have some great stats, but isn't a damage dealer. She doesn't have the scaling for it. It sure feels like it, but she doesn't. I got her too and tried to build AP carry / support. It just doesn't work. 300 AP does almost nothing on her. Might as well have had 50 AP. Maybe there is a way, but I didn't find it.

Your best bet is to max CDR; something most of the aura items are good at doing:
zeke's herald::::

Now stack those with:
::::

And you got yourself a support that the meta accepts. Make sure to get !

HOWEVER, yeah, I hate the meta too, and feels like she can change it, but NOT if you aren't going to buy ANY support items.

Thank you for letting me take so much of your comment space. I'm done with my rant. :)

edit: sorry, one other thing, the new thing with support is to start with:
::::sight ward::sight ward
If you can believe it, you don't need those health pots, especially not with your heal. This set's you up for a lightning fast philosopher's stone!

Thank you for this comment! I'm actually (as I write this) re-doing the item choices, because I've noticed in some games that the ones I've chosen are ok, but I feel like there are better items. And also, with the starting items, I've began to notice that as well, so I might just fix that real quick. I also forgot to add something about which was that "If possible, have your tank get this item." Which I'll add in the next update I do for this guide, which should be slightly bigger.

I've never been a big fan of , and since has a kinda alike passive already, I'm not really sure to get it or not, but I do see your point. Anyway, once again, I really appreciate this comment, I'm going to take it into consideration while I fix a couple of things in this guide :3 Thanks~

I've been playing a lot of Nami the past 2 days, and having success, but I always run into the same problem: "I've got Ruby Sightstone, Philosopher's Stone, Ionian Boots and Shard Of True Ice... Now what?"

I try to go for whatever will help most against the enemy composition but nothing ever really feels like a natural 'next item' to me. Iceborn Gauntlet, I think, is the answer. It ticks every box Nami would want, and also helps the team out in fights. I love the idea of getting Eleisa's Miracle, something I'll definitely be adding to my build in the future.

I'm eager to check back on this guide in a few days, see what other useful info has come to light about Nami in that time. Personally I'm a fan of the ghost summoning thingy that slows enemies ^^ Wanna start trying to get it earlier if I can, still need to mess around a bit. Good guide, made me rethink some things!

I'm glad my guide was useful! Hopefully, by the time you come back, I've added/fixed a couple of things. And about the ghost thingy item, I've given some thought to it, and I might add it, I think it serves like a ward (kinda) and a good slow to have.

Uhm... -.-;; You have 0 armor from rune/mastery with this, so all you will do is feed the enemy carry bottom lane. And how is it to waste Philo's gold to upgrade it? Philo doesn't exactly make you rich by just sitting in your inventory all day.

You do have a point there. I should add more defensive runes. And the thing about Philo is that since it's upgrade is so cheap, you can probably upgrade it at any point of the game, but I suggest that while you're in lane, you keep it as Philo, so that way, you go ahead of the enemy's support so long as you keep it. And I'm not saying that you're gonna be 50,000 gold ahead, but you'll be a good amount ahead. Again, I said that it's completely up to you to decide when you want to upgrade to eleisa. Also, going back to the first statement, if you play correctly, there's no reason why you should be feeding the enemy team at all.

Thanks for your comment, I'll consider changing the Mark of Scaling AP. I forgot to add something to Miracle. Added it now though, but here's what I added: "No need to rush into it, but get it earlier if you want to, you don't want to waste Philosopher's Stone's gold gain." Thanks for pointing that out. And I added in the viable spells part: it can prove useful early game for some people, but I never added it to my personal favorite because I don't like it.
