Playing as Heimerdinger

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Plant your turrets and stay close

    Place your turrets with H-28 G Evolution Turret (Q) where you want to fight, then stay close: if you move too far away, they deactivate after 8 seconds.

  2. Aim the center of your grenade

    Aim the center of CH-2 Electron Storm Grenade (E) at your target: only enemies in the center are stunned, and hitting a champion fully charges your nearby turrets.

  3. R then W for the kill

    To kill a target, cast UPGRADE!!! (R) then Hextech Micro-Rockets (W): you fire 4 waves of rockets instead of one.

  4. Giant turret for objectives

    For a teamfight or an objective, cast UPGRADE!!! (R) then H-28 G Evolution Turret (Q): the turret lasts 8 seconds, slows, deals area damage and is immune to CC.

Playing against Jinx

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Short trades

    Take a short trade, then back off: with the minigun from Switcheroo! (Q), each auto increases her attack speed, so long trades favor her.

  2. Punish her lack of mobility

    If you can engage, go for her when her support walks away: with no dash or leap, Jinx can only back off on foot.

  3. Walk around her traps

    Don't step on Flame Chompers! (E): they root the champion who touches them. Walk around them or wait for them to vanish after 5 seconds.

  4. Deny her the first kill

    If you can reach her, focus her first: any takedown gives her a big speed boost with Get Excited! (passive).
