This latest patch has hit Nami hard. Mandate is un-buildable and Moonstone, Helia, Aery and Dream Maker took hits as well. We are left with a 3-4% drop in Nami win rate.

As a Nami enjoyer myself, I decided to dig into her builds yesterday to see what makes the most sense with what we've got left. I got... carried away and now I have this nice build calculator for her to share. I tried to make decent assumptions about item passives.

All in all I found two builds that made the most sense. One will surprise you. Maybe you can find another. Feel free to explore.

Just a quick visualization of the change in ranked distribution this year. Read more here: machineloling.com/2026/05/09/how… thanks to @_Beora for historic data.

Now champion pool designer weights pool health based on champion play rates in different ranks! And we added a cool visualization for play rate by rank!

We weren't quite satisfied with our match-up and synergy derived classes, so we decided to step up our machine learning game even further.
This time, we cluster using embeddings from a deep-learning model trained on damage, scaling, match-ups, and synergies. The result is the most comprehensive and accurate champion classes currently available.
