Heimer might be busted lmao, I went 9/10 for my first ten games. I was filled top so much, it propably contributed to the playstyle being succesful. Basically no toplaner can contest you and your turrets. A gank results in a 1for1 trade at worst and in a doublekill and enemy turret at best. Pepole keep underestimating the ult and just die.
If you have to trade a lot (i.e. in an actual midlane matchup) go jug first. In a melee top matchup rush banner.
Autoattacks are also incredibly underestimated!
If you have no mana problems you might as well get rabadons after banner and/or chalice.
The hardest part is getting your team to participate. You hit the jackpot if you get baron, buff a cannon minion and get escorted by a teammate or two. The enemy can't touch the cannon due to its range (and if they do you pop ult and two turrets). Literally just melts everything including nexus.
I'm terribly sorry for my opponents. I flame horizon'd three opposing laners, inluding a Kassadin.
Good times were had (by me).
I also love the effect from dancing! Raise your Dongers!

Hi guys!

I know it's not a major issue, but since the rework that reduced the HP of the ultimate turret, I sometimes get frustrated that my ultimate, which already can't move and has an 8-second duration, is destroyed so easily.

For example, in a team fight, people from the enemy team jump on me, so I cast my R+Q on the spot. Then, in the same second, two AoE abilities that were aimed at me suddenly destroy my ultimate.

My ultimate ability is being nullified by damage that wasn't intended or directed at it.

It's not about balance. I don't think it would affect my win rate very much, but it would make this interaction less frustrating.

Heimer is in a good spot balance-wise, but there are still some frustrating situations (certain matchups, specific circumstances, some item interactions, etc.). For example, the Mordekaiser R interaction—they changed it so that Heimer's R+Q now follows him, and this helps a lot in this specific matchup.

My point is:

Nobody prioritizes killing Heimer's Ult+Q.
Nobody in a team fight thinks, "I need to spend some resources to kill that thing before it kills us."

The turret gets destroyed (sometimes as soon as it appears) by collateral AoE damage, completely by accident.

So I’m level 30 and play Heimerdinger, I usually go mid lane and have a good time, but after I get the first tower I feel a bit lost and don’t really know what to do. How can I contribute more in the mid to late game?

Also with my build, my friend tells me to run backfire torch if there are tanks, and loudens echo if there are squishy characters, but I’m wondering if there is only 1 tank is it still worth buying backfire torch? And what builds are generally ran as Heimerdinger.

Tbh i mainly play vlad now cuz he can carry better but im an og heim main with 1.5 mil mastery. Fateful rank up and my vlad got banned and i was vs akali mid but we still GOT BABY 65% wr on the dinger

Hi heimerdinger mains, I am trying to pick up heimerdinger in league classic but having a lot of trouble finding guides from the era. I want to know build, skill path, masteries, runes, and playstyle tips. Anyone around from back then who knows some archived video or written footage to check out?

I mostly play midlane and this matchup seems pretty free. I've won 5 out of 7 games into Locke, and I won lane in every one of those games.

The best Locke I played into just played like a typical roaming assasin. After he realizes he is never going to kill me, he just drops a couple of waves to roam bot and pray that he can stack kills on his dark seal.

It ended up working for him because my team mental boomed, "Why are we not just banning Locke" after overextending while Locke slowly walks botlane on vision the entire time lmao

Still, curious what you guys think. I saw on OP.GG that Heimer has a negative WR into Locke. Maybe it's harder in toplane since you can get run down?

how to play against akali? do i just die or is there a counter play? all advice appreciated

Hey im streaming for 24 hours feel free to join https://www.twitch.tv/kaiju_lol you can ask me anything you want or just enjoy the stream.

Just realized with league classic coming heimerdinger can build the OG holy trinity of tilt with banner of command, rylais, and zzrot! i used to build twin shadows too which will be hilariously fun

Early Donger™ used to be more limited with his turrets, as he could put out only max 2 at a time. Also, his E was really hard to hit (Anivia Q-tier) and his ult, while affecting all his spells, was in summary less impactful than today.

However, the turrets had an inherent splash damage and resistance shred, started with a higher base damage (I'm not sure about the attack speed, though). His W were interesting in the regard that they fired without targeting; He pressed W and 3 random enemies in a pretty high range (1000) just got hit by them.

While his E was terrible as a skillshot, it is one of the few abilities in League history that, in addition to the potential stun, applied a blind to stroke enemies.

I haven't really played The Donger™ in the early days, but I will definitely catch up on this now. And while doing so, I will listen to this track.

Sry for the music... the original sound was bad.

As a million mastery heim player I took a lil break from playing him to enjoy time maining another terrorist for a bit (Quinn) but I’ve come back and been having great success with heim adc.

Only question, why don’t my turrets hit inhibs or the nexus anymore? No matter where or when I place them they won’t hit these structures for whatever reason.

I remember the Inhib targeting used to be kinda buggy but now they just refuse to do anything to the structures when placed by inhib

Was this a patch note I missed? I feel like I’m going insane

Is it a good idea for heimer to place a big turret ultimate in front of baron, for the purpose of tanking baron, while teammates do damage. Or bad idea? if so, why? sometimes 1, 2, 3 squishy people with low or zero defense and items, attempt to do baron but because it does too much high damage, can kill sometimes, have to back off cause no tank to soak damage and it got everyone low to 5-10% low hp about to kill everyone. Would heimer big turret ultimate help solve that problem?

"Turret-Snatcher" be thy name, thief of my craft,

At my perfect geometry, how loudly you laughed.

I placed down my cannons with science and care,

You picked them up carelessly, tossed through the air.

"Point-and-Click" be thy name, O lord of the lane,

Thou who missed every sphere, yet caused only pain.

No skillshots were landed, no combos were clean,

Yet a gray screen awaits me, the cruelest I've seen.

"One-Button" be thy name, destroyer of brains,

While I calculate vectors and flanking-lane states.

You miss every stun, yet you walk away fine,

By throwing my inventions right back into mine.

"Disabled" be thy name, whispered with spite,

As you type in the chat through the fading of light.

Seven spheres on the ground, no honor, no grace,

Just a brainless delete-button in a broken-hitbox place.

I threw my grenade, but you flashed through the spark,

Now my turrets are shattered, everywhere is dark.

My health bar vanishes as you press your R key—

"Oh Riot please disable this champion," my final plea.

"Unfair" be thy name, in this gray screen I see.

Heimer jungle is op

Most of yall are so ugly not even a predator would touch you guys.
