Matchups
Every matchupHow to read this
Nami’s win rate against each champion picked into it in the lane opposite: its hardest matchups, then its easiest. The small number is the matchup’s own effect on Nami, the part not explained by either champion’s strength.
Hardest for Nami
Lane leads and team bans
What Nami’s team bans
Champions a team bans more often when it has Nami than the other team does in the same games (335,750 games). The other team banned before Nami was picked, so the gap is the ban spent because Nami was coming — a sign players see these as counters. Riot does not say which player cast a ban, so this is the team’s choice.

These numbers describe, they do not prove. Each rate is Nami’s record when its player chose that option, pulled toward Nami’s own rate by 100 games of prior so a small sample cannot look like a discovery. An uncommon page often wins more because experts run it, and they would win on any page, so only a choice taken in at least 10% of games can be recommended, and spells and keystones are ranked by how the SAME players do with them against the usual choice, not by the raw rate; rarer ones are listed with their numbers and labeled. The build line (opening buy, the two key items in the order they are finished, boots or the support upgrade) is advice in the same sense: how Nami does when built that way.
The learning curve
Champion pool
On a first game Nami wins 49.6%; in the hands of players with the most mastery on it, 51.4%. That gap ranks it 167 of 173 for how much practice pays. It crosses 50% at about 4.8K mastery points.
Pro play
On the pro tier list
Nami in the major leagues and international events this season, across 3,434 games: its record, how often it is picked or banned, whether it is taken blind or saved as a counter, its lane at 15 minutes, and the best pro on it.

How much knowing Nami pays
Players on their Mastery band win 1.8 points more on Nami than first-timers do: #167 of 173 champions for how much mastery pays.
At 300k+ mastery points, Nami players win 51.4%: #140 of 173 champions for where mastery ends up. The fitted curve levels off at about 51.5%, and is half-way up by ~6.3K points.
NamiDots are the six mastery bands, placed at their mastery points. The line is the best-fitting curve that rises and levels off.
This is not a promise about your next game. Players do not reach a mastery band in a random order, and a champion someone loses on tends to get dropped before it reaches the high bands — so the right-hand side of every curve is partly survivors, not only practice.
