Playing as Heimerdinger
Tips to maximize your impact
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 Sett
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Leave the center of his punch
Get out of the center of Haymaker (W): it deals true damage there, and the sides only deal physical damage.
- Keep your distance after Knuckle Down
Keep your distance once Knuckle Down (Q) is used: he has no dash, and it's this spell that speeds him toward you.
- No big trade you can't finish
Don't take a big trade unless you can finish it: Haymaker (W) stores part of the damage he takes as Grit, for a stronger shield and punch.
- Don't group behind your tank
Don't stay grouped behind your tank: The Show Stopper (R) can slam them onto you, and the damage depends on their bonus health.
