Uh... the delay on Nami's Q and R makes her really awkward against stuff that has mobility. Also her animations are so slow, auto and spells alike, her W is so obvious you can't use it and retreat, there will be retaliation.

I felt useless in teamfights, her heal isn't strong enough while not having the benefits of, say, Sona's aura, you're going to be lucky if you get more than one Q per fight, and the ult never felt decisive o anything, even as counterinitiation—def. underwhelming compared to Naut's, as I feared.
Can't talk about the lane, Leona obviously destroys Nami because of squishiness and respective ranges, kinda like Sona... except you can't ever cast anything else than E because if Leona plays with your ranges she'll have a wide opening to engage on you. So not conclusive at all.

Also her mana costs are pretty darn atrocious.

When using similar builds (locket/crucible, had to have tankiness against the enemy lane, and needed the chalice desperately for mana) Taric, whom I long thought boring, felt much, much more useful in teamfights. :/


I tried her for a few games, seems ok but a huge part of her kit is just really not functional for soloque. She is made for like skirmishing, but 90% of the time you use your 3 hit auto buff it will be wasted without communication, and her heal is only really good with a bounce, so your laner has to engage to use it correctly. I do agree her animations are also really obnoxious and slow, but I think she could be pretty strong with an actual duo using her damage and slows and speed and continously trade really well.

her ult is really really good, but you pay for it, as the rest of her kit is just a shitty version of lulu.
In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.

So I'm vs Destiny. My team starts telling me to ban Draven and that we can ghost him zzzzz. Can I report them for ghosting somehow? Btw I'm the lee sin on the other team if this game goes through.

edit: Like I understand people stream snipe and whatever but saying we should ghost his wards is a bit much though. Oh well I think I got them to fk off.

I dunno, I mean, what does she offer for those lanes that another support doesn't? Another thing that bothered me is that she has no way of initiating a trade—even if she Ws and it hits both their carry and yours, you'll have a little MS buff in exchange for a sure counterattack on you. And her ult is kinda slow so you shouldn't surprise them. It didn't change much since that was a Leona so I wouldn't engage on her, but in other lanes...

Oh. I'm just saying in general though, because he hit that elo where the pool of people to queue with is smaller and smaller.

Well they're linking your TL stream page on his chat for ghosting btw haha

Doing other stuff inbetween games sadly. For streaming you have to commit to just playing/interacting with viewers and aint nobody got time for that. Maybe tomorrow.

I just hate when people completely absolve themselves of a loss like that Anivia did, if she can't see what she could have done better than idk what to say even.

Hey all,

For the online tournament coming up on January 4th and 5th, Riot organizers (Tiza, Janook, Rara, Phreak, and more) will provide directed camera streams of as many of these matches as we can. These online qualifying matches will not be casted by Riot, but any casters who would like to rebroadcast the matches should feel free to do so.

We’ll be streaming the January 11th North American Qualifiers in full force.

Stay tuned for details. Best of luck to the teams competing in the online tournament.
