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.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Heimerdinger's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  Affinité Hextech

  Gagne de la vitesse de déplacement à proximité des tourelles alliées et des tourelles déployées par Heimerdinger.

  Strong: passive move speed near his turrets — he orbits the nest fast. Weak: leaves the nest slow — catch him rotating.

• Q
  Tourelle H-28G Évolution

  Heimerdinger déploie une tourelle équipée d'un laser secondaire perforant (elle inflige 50% de dégâts aux tourelles ennemies).

  Strong: three turrets with beams — a fortress that fights alone. Weak: turrets die to AoE and lose charge when he's far.

• W
  Micro-roquettes Hextech

  Heimerdinger lance des roquettes à longue portée qui convergent vers son curseur.

  Strong: a rocket fan that converges for heavy point damage. Weak: max damage needs point-blank convergence — stay at mid-range.

• E
  Grenade électro-tempête CH-2

  Heimerdinger lance une grenade vers l'endroit ciblé, infligeant des dégâts aux unités ennemies. Cela étourdit aussi les unités touchées directement et ralentit les unités proches.

  Strong: a bouncing stun grenade that chains with turret beams. Weak: slow lob — his ONLY CC; dodge it and dive freely.

• R
  AMÉLIORATION !

  Heimerdinger invente une amélioration, ce qui permet à son prochain sort d'avoir des effets augmentés.

  Strong: upgrades a spell — beam-wave mega turret, rocket storm or a huge stun. Weak: one upgrade per cast — the mega turret dies like any other.

Itemization

Sweep the nest with abilities, gank him relentlessly, and rotate fights away from his setup zones.
