How to beat Heimerdinger

Common role: Mid / Top

A turret architect who makes his lane a fortified no-go zone.

What makes Heimerdinger dangerous

Heimerdinger plants up to three turrets that focus you (with a charged beam), pokes with long rockets and a stunning grenade, and his ultimate empowers a spell — an upgraded turret with waves of beams, a rocket barrage, or a huge bouncing stun.

How to play against Heimerdinger

• 1Clear turrets with abilities/waves before trading — never fight inside the nest.
• 2His grenade is the only hard CC — dodge it and dive freely.
• 3Call your jungler when he pushes past river — no turrets = free kill.
• 4Out-roam him: turret zones don't defend the rest of the map.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Helpless without turret setup.
• ✓Immobile and gank-friendly outside his nest.
• ✓Turrets fall fast to AoE waveclear.
• ✓Falls off when fights move around the map.
