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 Mordekaiser

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay near your minions

    Stay near your minions against Obliterate (Q): its damage increases when it hits only one enemy.

  2. Dodge his Death's Grasp

    Dodge Death's Grasp (E): it pulls you toward him, into his other spells, and it has a 16 to 8 second cooldown.

  3. At range, kite him

    If you have range, kite him: Mordekaiser has no dash, and only Death's Grasp (E), which pulls you in, closes the distance.

  4. Save your mobility in his R

    In Realm of Death (R), save your mobility spells to escape him rather than for the duel: he steals part of your stats, and keeps them if he kills you.
