You're probably a lot more experienced with him than I am. Hybrid pen marks, flat AP or MS Quints depending on matchup, armor + health combination on seals and mres glyphs (he's still short ranged).

Core and lich bane rush as well. Void staff, Rabadon, Zhonya/Rylai, although sometimes I get a Morello for CDR and if the enemy team has a lot of annoying healers like Nami/Irelia/ADC combination on stuff like that.

I did it with Leona, so I assume other higher-tier play-making supports like Thresh and Braum can easily do it too. Good Janna and Nami players can assumedly make it work too.

Eh...I'm a perfect example of how Nami doesn't carry for **** in low elo. At least not on NA.

high damage supports like Karma/ Zyra/ Vel'Koz can also carry.

Well, I assumed that you had to be of a certain capability at least. Her ult is pretty game-changing, so that's why I'd put her up there as a support that can carry. But I'm not really a Nami player, so...

Yes, but she generally relies on allies to back her up. Carrying with champions like that is next to impossible in low elo because you can't force people to react to Tidal Wave or Aqua Prison properly. You pretty much have to spoonfeed your allies or carry yourself and champions like Thresh/ Braum/ Leona are better at the former, while Zyra/ Karma/ Vel'Koz are better at the latter.

this is coming from someone who spent most of the season maining Nami in low elo and getting nowhere despite playing well in 80% of their games.

in my experience, yes (though I've played a hell of a lot less Janna this season than I have Nami).

I've generally had bad luck carrying with support period tbh.

Should be noted that even high elo support mains don't generally try to carry with support at low elo on smurfs.

EDIT: I'm not some perfect example, nor is my opinion necessarily correct either. Just making comments based on personal experience.

I think Nami should be great for carrying in low elo, but I don't know what NA is like, so maybe it's down to the server.

Probably comes down to other factors too (individual playstyle, ect.). I was just relaying an opinion based on personal experience.

NA is full of ****py players about like you'd expect in low elo.
