Nami dominates the meta (3rd most popular, 11.7% pick rate) and regularly clashes with Mel (2.8% pick rate). Understanding this common matchup forms the foundation of consistent gameplay for one of support's current powerhouses. Surprising upset: Despite Nami's higher tier rating, Mel wins 51.3% of encounters. This suggests Mel's kit specifically counters Nami's playstyle, overriding general meta strength - approach this matchup with extra caution. Strong champion, tough matchup: Despite Nami's impressive 52.4% overall win rate, this specific matchup against Mel presents unique challenges requiring focused practice. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Summon Aery + Manaflow Band combination (57.6% win rate) plus optimal itemization Imperial Mandate, Shurelya's Battlesong, Moonstone Renewer, and Ionian Boots of Lucidity boosts your chances from 48.7% to 70%+ - potentially game-changing.
Vision advantage: Despite losing the direct matchup, Nami's superior warding (0.85 wards/min, 32nd among supports) can swing team fights and objectives in your favor. Outclassed across the board: Mel leads in both matchup win rate (51.3%) and damage (723 vs 318/min). Nami must seek alternative win conditions through macro play and team coordination. Strong individual performance: Nami maintains better KDA (3.40, 3rd place vs 44th for Mel), but loses the matchup overall. High KDA without wins suggests difficulty translating individual advantages into victory conditions.

Despite the slight difference in effectiveness, in the Nami versus Mel matchup as support, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.
The magic damage that Nami deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Mel deals primarily magic damage (90.18%), additional magic resistance may be required.
An important advantage of Nami is superior vision control (ranked 32nd among supports) (versus 34th for Mel), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.2 versus 3.4) suggests they are less effective in team fights.
In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Nami player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Mel player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.
