Nami is strongest early (49.5% before 25 minutes) and falls off, so survive the early game and the matchup swings your way. Playing the matchup itself: Aqua Prison is a very powerful ability with a long cooldown, take advantage of the situation if Nami misses this ability. Tidal Wave has a very long range but travels slowly, be aware of when it is coming your way as you can move out of its path. Try to avoid fighting an opponent affected by Tidecaller's Blessing, it lasts a short duration so waiting it out can help you greatly. Pick a counter from the list above, respect Nami's power spikes, and track its cooldowns so you only commit to trades when its key abilities are down. Counter data updates automatically every patch.
