How to beat Renata Glasc as Nami: the early game

Levels 1-3 are yours: Renata's Q (Handshake) is a slow, easily sidestepped root and she has no ranged poke, so your E bounce and W chip win the sustain war freely. Keep your ADC positioned so her Q has no clean line and bubble her whenever she commits it. Her tether is slow and easy to sidestep, so stay off the line and punish every miss. Empower your carry's autos while it is on cooldown, and hold the bubble for the moment she commits rather than for the poke, since only one of those actually threatens anybody.
