While Nami does have a lower win rate compared to Amumu, when facing one another, Nami also has a greater level of difficulty that makes her a more time consuming champ to learn and master. You should expect to face a difficult match when picking Nami into Amumu.

Additionally, Nami has a lot of utility and CC, a similar amount to Amumu. This makes her just as valuable during team fights, especially when fighting champions with a lot of burst damage.

While there is not a single best champion for every situation in League of Legends, in Nami vs Amumu matchups, Amumu is the better champion with a lower win rate, more champion depth, and a similar amount of utility to help out your allied champions during late stage team fights.

Nami is a trash counter for Amumu. You will do well by focussing your actions on increasing your gold and cs and destroying objectives. If you can do that, you should hold your own as Nami against Amumu.
