Mechanical Tips

  • H-28G Evolution Turrets (Q): a maximum of 3 can be active at any one time. If a fourth is placed, the oldest one explodes. Place them strategically in the lane — in bushes, under the tower, at chokepoints.
  • Dormant turrets: if Heimerdinger strays too far, the turrets become dormant (they stop firing). Stay in the area.
  • CH-2 Electron Storm Grenade (E): centre hit = stun. Edge hit = slow only. Always aim for the centre of the target.
  • MIRV Hextech Rockets (W): multiple rockets, each of which can trigger effects — excellent rapid DPS.
  • UPGRADE!!! (R): upgrades the next ability: Q = mega-turret, W = giant rockets, E = wider grenade and guaranteed stun. R+E is generally the most impactful in teamfights.

Common Mistakes

  • Place the turrets in obvious positions where they’ll be destroyed — position them in corners.
  • Move away from the turrets and leave them alone.
  • Hit the edges of E instead of the centre — use ‘slow’ instead of ‘stun’.

Notable Interactions

  • Heimerdinger’s passive: movement speed bonus near allied turrets or structures.
  • R+E guarantees a stun within a large AoE — the ideal opener in a teamfight.
  • Heimerdinger excels at defending a turret by placing his turrets directly beneath it.
