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 Yone

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Back off after two Mortal Steels

    Get out of his line after two Mortal Steel (Q) hits: the next one makes him dash forward and knocks the enemies hit into the air.

  2. Avoid his hits in spirit form

    During Soul Unbound (E), avoid taking hits: when he snaps back, part of all the damage he dealt you is repeated.

  3. Trap his return

    If you have ground-targeted CC, place it on the body he left behind: when Soul Unbound (E) ends, he has to return there.

  4. Judge him by his crit items

    Judge his threat by his crit items more than his level: Way of the Hunter (passive) raises his critical strike chance, so each crit item does more for him.

  5. Don't line up with your allies

    In teamfights, don't line up with your allies in front of him: Fate Sealed (R) hits every enemy in a line and knocks them into the air toward him.
