As Lulu: Play aggressive. Put your W on Nami when you engage so she can’t CC you. Poke her as often as you can, even if she can heal herself, she will be wasting mana.
Leona
Just wait for Nami to use her Q or E then engage the ADC. If you are not in range to engage her ADC then wait, but play aggressively early game.
Blitzcrank
If Blitzcrank hooks Nami, she’s basically in for serious damage. She is very squishy and has very low HP early game. Try to make the best out of her squishiness. This is a huge threat to her in early game.
Yasuo
Yasuo’s wind wall blocks most of Nami’s abilities including her ultimate. Remember this during team fights.
