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 Yuumi
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Stay behind your minions
Keep minions between you and her: Prowling Projectile (Q) stops on the first enemy hit, and once accelerated, it slows hard.
- CC her as soon as she detaches
If you have CC, save it for the moment she detaches: once immobilized, she can't recast You and Me! (W) for a while.
- Focus the champion carrying her
Focus the champion carrying Yuumi: attached with You and Me! (W), she can only be targeted by towers, and without them she's left exposed.
- Cut her healing
If you have Grievous Wounds, apply it to the champion carrying her: they receive her healing, including from Final Chapter (R).
