Guide to Synergizing Nami and Heimerdinger

Tips for Playing as Nami with Heimerdinger

Nami's ultimate can come in very handy for initiating on enemies who are far away.

Using Ebb and Flow during an engagement with enemy champions will help sway the battle in your favor.

Aqua Prison has a long cooldown, make sure to use it at the right moment.

Advice to Understand How Heimerdinger Will Play

Spreading out Hextech Micro-Rockets leads to more reliable damage and more efficiency against multiple targets, but focusing it creates the biggest impact.

The success of Electron Storm Grenade is very important to Heimerdinger's survival. The slow and stun both are capable of keeping enemies in place long enough to punish them, but it is also the first line of defense against a surprise attack.

Turret placement can be a deciding factor in a battle. Against most enemies turrets are best when they can support each other, but if the enemy has a lot of area of effect damage your turrets can be destroyed quickly. Placing turrets in brush can lead to a surprise attack in your favor.

Overall, Nami sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Heimerdinger. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN. This drop shows that Heimerdinger helps Nami perform not as well in competitive LoL matches. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is only marginal.

When Nami is paired with Heimerdinger, she observes a barely noticable drop in her total damage dealt. This may demonstrate that Heimerdinger does not provide protection for her to deal more damage or that his presence on the team also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Nami is played together with Heimerdinger on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays without Heimerdinger. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Heimerdinger.

Additionally, when Nami plays with Heimerdinger on the same side, she often receives a little more damage than when she fights alone. Taking more damage may mean that Heimerdinger does a poor job of covering Nami during teamfights.

Is Nami better when played alongside Heimerdinger?

There is no perfect ally for Nami that will always be her ideal ally. However, Heimerdinger is a not very good companion for Nami. By being on the same side as Nami, he lowers their win rate by -1.2% to 47.9%. This signals that there is a negative synergy between Nami and Heimerdinger that results in them performing worse together than without each other.

Heimerdinger has a greater difficulty than Nami. That means Nami players must be very careful when enlisting Heimerdinger allies to fight alongside, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.

Playing cooperatively, Nami players should see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal magical damage. Together, these champions can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.

In contrast, by grouping Nami and Heimerdinger together, you probably will not be providing your team a great deal of AD. Make sure to pick other champs on your team that nullifies this relative gap in this pairing's playstyle.

Regardless of your Heimerdinger ally's skill level, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well anyway.
