Learn how to play with Heimerdinger with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
When fighting in the jungle or around objectives, position yourself within Heimerdinger's turret nest rather than in open areas. His turrets create a zone where he's significantly stronger, and enemies entering this area will take substantial damage.
Team Fight Skirmish
Watch for Heimerdinger's E (grenade) as it provides a 1.5-second stun when it hits the center. Time your crowd control abilities to begin after his stun expires to maximize the total disable duration on enemies.
Team Fight Skirmish
When preparing for Dragon or Baron, allow Heimerdinger to set up turrets around the objective 30-40 seconds in advance. His fully established turret nest can melt objectives and create a dangerous zone for enemies to contest.
Late Game
Heimerdinger performs significantly better in enclosed spaces like jungle corridors or river entrances rather than open areas. His turrets and abilities have more impact in confined spaces where enemies have limited movement options.
Advanced Team Fight Skirmish
Learn to recognize Heimerdinger's empowered E (large bouncing grenade) which can stun and slow in a much larger area. This zoning tool can control entire choke points - follow up immediately when he uses it to maximize the advantage.
Team Fight
When Heimerdinger is pushed up in lane with his turrets set up, consider hovering nearby rather than immediately helping other lanes. Enemy ganks can often be turned into double kills with your assistance due to his turret damage.
Lane Phase
Pay attention to when Heimerdinger's turrets get destroyed. He's much more vulnerable without his turret setup, so provide extra protection or avoid fighting during this window while he rebuilds his defense.
Team Fight Skirmish
When Heimerdinger split pushes, avoid forcing him to group unless absolutely necessary. Instead, apply pressure elsewhere on the map while enemies respond to him, or help ward around his push to improve his safety.
Advanced Late Game
Heimerdinger gains 20% bonus movement speed when near his turrets. This passive makes him surprisingly mobile in areas where he has established turret control, allowing him to reposition quickly during fights.
Basic Team Fight Skirmish
When in a lane near Heimerdinger, coordinate roams when his E is on cooldown (11 seconds). Without his stun, he's less able to capitalize on ganks or defend against them, so time your movements accordingly.
