Nami vs Hwei Matchup Summary

The Nami vs Hwei matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 24 recent matches analyzed, Nami wins with a 62.5% win rate compared to Hwei's 37.5%, giving Nami a 25.0 percentage point advantage. Nami dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Hwei players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential.

Nami players can confidently pick into Hwei and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Hwei away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.
