Fuzzmonkey says “Work around when he has turrets near him. If he doesn't go in for trades, other than that don't go near him and just farm as best you can against him. At level 6 will be your best all in opportunity, make sure you hit everything. Biggest thing about the match up is to not let him hit you with the stun grenade, this will pretty much kill you if all 3 of his turrets then hit you after. Other than that, just play it safe and wait for him to use his cooldowns.”
eiensiei says “Level 1 I'll rush to lane and kill his little turrets as he places them if I can. Other than that, most of the laning phase is spent under tower for Lux and I focus on getting as much CS as I can. I avoid roaming in this match-up, as he won't follow and is going to push fast and get plates. This is not as much of a threat because of the kill pressure, but he'll easily get ahead by farming better while I'm struggling under tower. However, ganks can definitely shut Heimer down and make him think twice before playing up to my turret again, so I'll try to ping my jungler for assistance.”
Drewmatth Taliyah says “Corrupting due to turrets. Hit as often as you can his turrets with your small Q (Q on circle). Use E when pushing, hitting cannons too in the process.
Go for all ins whenever possible but predict and try to dodge his E (because the cannons will Beam you).
Usually he will perma push you and ganks on him will be difficult but have no fear for that, just try to keep up with the push and focus on getting a kill either on him or on botlane. Very few players are experienced with Heimerdinger so try to abuse that.”
Fuzzmonkey says “Syndra is basically the biggest counter to heimerdinger since you can pick up his turrets with your W. Constantly poke him with Q as well. Easy win.”
LunarVortex says “Your W is great for clearing turrets and your E is great for blocking his stun. Time your E well so he doesn't break it before his stun. The worst that can happen to you in this matchup is that he forces you to lasthit under tower.”
Avucado says “Turrets are like Azir's, they can't see you themselves and wont shoot you in your W unless Heimer sees you himself. Don't try to trade with him at all, you will never win it unless you somehow hook him, but he can just block it by placing a turret in from of himself. Once he's 6 he can basically do over half your health under tower if he hits the stun. Once you see the missile version of his R just E away as fast as possible. Ganks are hard to pull off without a jungler with easy cc. Hexdrinker/mercs are good into this matchup.”
Ambitieux says “Laning against Heim is one of the most stressful. You outrange his turret with autos, make sure you get rid of setup level 1 and try to just farm the lane. Your advantage here is you ability to roam with mobility and his need to stay put in lane. Try to get jungler help around 6 and roam with him. I suggest putting wards in enemy jungle and look for plays there or in other lanes. ”
Eoba says “The matchup becomes extreme if he's running barrier. The only guarantee to winning this lane is to only W Q Auto, as Q'ing first will let him predict where you'll land...and then he will follow up with E.”
Yeager says “This is something i rarely see midlane because heimer is better top since he's oppressive against melee champions. Heimer does 1 thing: Stack turrets and shove people in.
If you're fast, you can walk into one of the midlane brushes BEFORE the minions spawn to destroy his turrets with your team. If you manage to do that, the lane will become so much easier because you simply have to destroy every turret as soon as he places them. He will lose his ability to control the lane. If you can shove him in, his lane is doomed.
Watch out for his E AOE stun. I often see heimer players using this ability right when you're about to attack one of his turrets.
His W deals a lot of damage but it can be body-blocked by minions, so stay behind those when trading.
Basically you use your range advantage to take down his turrets. Bait out his E (it helps having boots since it's a skillshot) and then go for trades.
Even though i run phase rush into pretty much everything, it's really strong into heimer. You can counter his slows and dodge his skillshots with the bonus movement speed.
”
Halfhand says “This is the most predictable matchup in the game. He will always just look to perma push your tower. Make sure you push him in/ destroy his turrets before you consider roaming. Otherwise your tower will be gone really fast.”
peytonqt says “[HARD/BANNABLE] [PR/Electrocute] [Long Sword/Tear] Welcome to hell! Grab yourself a bed and set it down at your tower because this lane will put you to sleep real fast. You might be able to get his turrets but its pretty easy for him to punish you. His trading is strong throughout the game and this lane is just unenjoyable. Look to farm and stack tear.”
Neekolai says “Pretty free matchup, you can easily hit stuff as everything you have goes through his turrets, and you can just one shot him (if he doesnt have zhonyas).”
WayOfTheTempesst says “Relatively easy lane. Wait till lvl 3 to go in so you have windwall to block the grenade. Can easily e auto q his tower to one shot them and if Heimer gets pushed in he has a very hard time last hitting. Only way you die is if you don't windwall the grenade and take his RW to the face.”
Katawina52 says “If I'm being honest, just dont trade him and tell your jungler to stay away. That's all heimer wants, and doing so dooms this matchup. Only way to kill him is if he goes ignite/tp and you've poked him down in lane with harass combo (n. 2 on basic kata tips), but I wouldn't even risk doing this because it's not worth the outplay potential you need to do. Better to avoid doing what he wants and push>roam/2v2 fight. You're way stronger there than in lane. Mercs good vs heimer if they have more cc's.”
WayOfTheTempesst says “Matchup is harder for Yone than it is for Yasuo. Another matchup you want to go resolve 2nd and take unflinching due to his E being hard to dodge. don't go on him if he has a lot of turrets out and becareful going on him with 3rd Q bc it is telegraphed and he can easily land his E on you and you can get full to 0ed if he has a lot of turrets out.”
Yasukeh says “It's practically impossible to get on top of him until level 6, and even then it's hard to actually kill him. He can often 1v2 if he gets ahead of you, and it's easy for him to deny you. Just farm it out until 6 and you should be able possibly get onto him or just outskirmish him and getting leads through playing with your team.
Take Triple Rejuv beads, and wait for ganks. Make sure you tank the turret during the gank with your ult. If you get a small lead on him, you can easily kill him through all of his damage. ”
richardlized says “Heimerdinger is an annoying matchup, but pretty easy. His turrets do not do much damage unless you get hit by the stun. Just do not get hit and you are fine. After 6, you can ult his stun and win. There isn’t a lot of Zed specific tips in this matchup. Because if how his turrets work, they perma-push, so it is easy to set up a jungle gank, if the jungler cc’s him, just weq and he will get popped easily.
”
PRoli03 says “Free lane. Don't be overaggressive and you will do fine. You outrange his turrets and can take them down with ease using Q or R. (Lethal tempo or Electrocute)”
kindo says “The matchup is rough if he just pokes and saves his E, but it's still not terrible. You'll be likely forced to sit under tower and farm for a while and hope for a jungle gank and that he doesn't 1v2.
You don't outrange his turrets until 4-mark, but afterwards you do. Sheen helps you q/auto to kill towers, but puts you vulnerable to being stunned and killed.
Build tenacity and try to dodge his stun. If it lands, tenacity will ensure you don't get 1 shot before being able to ult. E/ignite to execute out when he has no stun or cooldowns.
You scale hard vs him and it's hard for him to sidelane given that he needs his turrets placed. You snowball hard versus him and he has bad roams, but if he gets a lead it just means sitting mid and farming.”
Aegox says “Heimerdinger is extremely annoying because he will literally just hide behind turrets to block all your shots. Try using your R to get behind turrets, hit an E, then Q around the turrets to hit him.”
Curt Mcbeltpants says “I rarely see him mid but it's easy to just afk farm and outroam a heimerdinger. You will run a risk dahsing in to him if he has turrets up though”
Mpegial says “While not really easy to go near to, you don't... need to, you can just go kill other laners or the jungler and Heimer can't do much about it.”
Hullos says “Can be annoying if they are good but the lane just ends up being a farm lane. If that ends up happening then you almost always come out on top with ult.”
Coldsong says “Heimerdinger is a very annoying matchup for Talon, but not an impossible one. Make sure to destroy his turrets and play safe. Bait his grenade and go for an all in, as he is very squishy.”
MikeVix says “This champion is @#$* trash. He has everything. Poke, Stun, Damage. You can all in him when you hit 6. Watch out for his stun and u should be good.”
Tauricus2017 says “His turrets are very powerful and annoying to deal with. There is not much you can do in this matchup. If you engage, he will most likely stun you between 3 turrets and interrupt your W. If you will try to outpush him, you most likely won't succed as he can control waves very easily. Call out for ganks and try to kill him as a team.”
Zileni says “Heimerdinger is really fun to deal with because for his entire laning phase he perma pushes. This isn't even too bad because you just need your Jungler to come to you. Landing a W is actually pretty hard against him because he is pretty fast, but if you have your items from farming under tower, you can easily kill him if you land your W.”
Yumi Project says “If u can manage to survive the loudy noise of his turret, u won. Important thing: every heimer remain near his own turret. U can use dagger to close him and burst him with all-in.”
Black Shadow QIYANA says “Because of his poke id say is hard matchup but you can kill him if you play it perfectly and if you fight outside his turrets”
mihaila says “He is pretty annoying with his turrets early on but after u beat him very hard. Take his ult only for securing a kill from long distance or if u dont have dmg at all, use his W from ult, if u dont have anything better to steal u can steal his ult and use E in teamfights. Take Fleetfootwork”
GabomanDeLegado says “Si entramos las torretas nos bajan y dentro de todo el bullicio no le podremos atinar ni una habilidad = FUCKING DEAD. Lo mejor es esperar al jungla y rezar para que el Heimer no se haga una doble. ”
Daers says “Try take out turrets whenever you can, try to use your Q to poke him and hit his turrets at the same time. If he misses his stun and his turrets are low, try to all in him. You can use his own turrets to catch up to him with your E. ”
Polarshift says “Super annoying to play against. But atleast your E spreads even if you use it on his turrets. Asking for a gank against this guy is a bit tricky, since in lower elos he will most likely get a doublekill instead. Farm up, outscale and outperform him in the teamfights and the sidelane.”
Aethlo says “Heimerdinger has the wave clear advantage. ||
Heimerdinger wins pre-3. ||
Heimerdinger and Annie are equal pre-6. ||
Heimerdinger loses post-6. ||
Heimerdinger and Annie have equal scaling. ||
Tip: Use Q to last hit turrets - you can't really push him in so play to scale. Careful for when he buys a stopwatch - Heimerdingers buy this item a lot - so make sure to check his items.
”
Luciiid says “Good heimers are really annoying. You cant cs and have to pray for a jungle gank or for the heimer to waste stun. Take null orb and electrocute.”
Noodles912 says “Play chicken till level 6. In this lane, you can max Q if you would like. Use ult to avoid his rockets/bombs, and Q to soak missiles. Go mercs if you would like, and outscale him. NEVER FIGHT HIM PRE 11, AND KEEP YOUR JG AWAY FROM MID.”
duhnx says “His poke is annoying but he is absolute garbage at killing you, just E from his missiles if he has no turrets and E away from his stun if he does. ”
StarTundra says “Heimerdinger is a pain to fight. Early on your AA outrange his turrets, use this to abuse them and clear them relatively safely. later on you'll need to use R to clear them if they're that big of an issue but for the most part you're best off either roaming or focusing on farming CS, as heimerdinger can't engage on you either. If heimer is ballzy you can chunk him and make him retreat back to his turrets.”
elnino9 says “Setup Q daggers on him and poke in/out - After Shunpoing on Q, immediately use W to get a full refund on Shunpo and use that to shunpo back out on minions. Careful when he has too many turrets next to him if you attempt an all-in. Start Doran shield. You will be pushed in this laning phase most of the time, last hit under turret, careful for his rocket poke under turret. Don't need to win lane as his strength comes within being a bully in lane.”
DabiDabi says “Don't trade with Heimer early. You'll lose. His passive speed can dodge all your abilities if the enemy is a skilled Heim player. Wait till 6 and fight if you are certain you can kill or have a Jungler gank.”
PASS10NE says “Don't get close to his turrets and try to shove roam this lane. Only go him when you're able to proc your passive or when your jungler ganks, but ganks against Heimerdinger can be difficult. Approach heimer with caution.”
Wunsch3957 says “Let him push level 1 and always stand behind minions so he can't hit W. Take down his turrets with your Q before engaging, you can also use them to dash. W his E or his empowered E. Conq.”
Lot of Wind here says “A situational matchup. You can destroy his turrets and avoid most of his damage ; be careful when dashing in as he can throw a devastating E.”
AkiraHopeXDDDD says “Heimer is just going to place turrets down and poke you down as much as he can. Get prowlers claw then do a combo with Prowlers or freeze lane and ask for ganks.”
Wunsch3957 says “Just let him push and have your jungler camp him. Dodge his E as well, fight with a wave and Q/W his turrets when you get the chance. ”
Impossible2Gank says “Even though his turrets can easily take out your boxes, if you lend a few points into E you should be able to poke him down enough to go in for a play with your R. You can also try to bait him closer near your turret to make a play or wait for jungle pressure.”
Hienaa says “Won't let you roam, you cant kill his tower without dying, you will need a lot of jungle help, but the only thing you can do is try to get 6 asap and then spam jungle for help, but you will always be stuck in lane until you can go split side”
GeDBo says “This match up is fun to play. Both of you depend on your soldier/turret placing. It like a game of chess - who will do what and when. Heimer's weaknesses lie in his turret reliance. In order to survive, Heimerdinger needs all 3 of his turrets to maximize his potential. The placement of them is absolutely crucial. On top of this, his other two skills are skill shots, making him slightly more difficult to play. Unlike Azir he lacks mobility, meaning - he can be punished harshlyif he makes a mistake. Azir at least has escape whether you will use your dash or ultimate.”
nZk01 says “(Mid) annoying but you can deal with it early on, dodging his granade with your W is very easy just care about all his turrets and his ult, very easy to fight early and very easy to dive with your jungler aswell, would recommend Barrier/Ignite.”
Doctor Yas says “Hard early, but after level three it's a free lane. You can wind wall all of his abilities. Be sure to use your wind wall on his E. His turrets give you free dashes, and can easily be killed with an EQ combo. ”
Edg3Lord says “He has some lane pressure and you will rather have some hard time regaining lane control. Your Q doesn't one shot his turrets, so take than into consideration if you ever try to disable some of them. Otherwise, he can't do much to you and you can block his single stun.”
Coldsong says “Heimerdinger's turrets can easily be killed with a Q once you start to put points into it, so make sure to keep destroying them before you go to kill him.”
Gloglito says “He'll hardshove the lane into you early on, but if you manage to farm decently and get yourself some mana, the matchup is fine. You'll be able to burst him down eventually.”
SoraSan says “Heimerdinger é praticamente uma lane perdida. Ele domina a lane de todas as formas, ele te pokeia, e quase sempre ele vai estar empurrando a rota contra você. Porém, você ganha no scaling. Jogue focando em farmar e avise o seu caçador para não te gankar.
Não avance nele de maneira alguma a não ser que queira morrer. Aceite os pokes e revide caso ele avance demais, não foque as maquinas dele a não ser que ele esteja longe ou que ela já esteja pra ser destruída. Caso ele esteja machucando muito, compre Passos de Mercúrio e recomendo Véu de Banshee nessa partida
Recomendo ir de Chuva de Laminas, porém vá com INSPIRAÇÃO como arvore secundaria. Pegue Entrega de Biscoitos e Tônico da Distorção do Tempo. E vá pra lane com Poção Corrupta.”
BigBushMan says “The only real problem here is that Heimer is going to be able to perma shove you with his turrets. Call for jungle help when he shoves and hes an easy kill. ”
nZk01 says “(Mid) annoying but you can deal with it early on, dodging his granade with your W is very easy just care about all his turrets and his ult, very easy to fight early and very easy to dive with your jungler aswell, would recommend Barrier/Ignite.”
KawaiiSpecter says “If I'm being honest, do NOT trade him and tell your jungler to stay away. That's what Heimer wants, and doing so dooms this matchup. Only way to kill him is if he goes ignite/tp and you've poked him down in lane, but I wouldn't even risk doing this because it's not worth the outplay potential you need to do. Better to avoid doing what he wants. Roam/2v2 fight, you're way stronger there than in lane.”
Tamatamo says “Pain. He can block hook with turrets, poke you out very easily, and do a high amount of burst. Try to stay up in cs and try to create a roam timer when possible so you can go down bot or go up top.”
Gtoxer says “runa recomendavel:eletreocutar ou conquer. Feitiço de invocador: Faça barreira ou ignite.
1)espere um gank do seu jg!.
2) Voce pode limpa mt facil as torres dele com seu Q
3)Tome cuidado para não ser gankado.
4)Faça escudo de doran.
5)aproveite para tira as maquina deles quando ele não tiver na lane
”
Mr. MalzMalzahar says “You can easily wipe out his turrets if they're all close together but if they're spread apart your e won't be very useful so probably use your q and w to kill them, sometimes e.”
bboyxje123 says “You can hit his turrets without getting in its range. Sit back and farm. Wait until heimerdinger makes a mistake and use it to your advantage.”
UnoTrickCho says “Feels alot like cassio/anivia, take fleet resolve and just focus on farming. You can use your e to dash through his turrets. Also, try and position your wind wall in such a way that you block 2 or even 3 of his turrets.”
XanBad says “I hate this, not too many people play this champ but it is very annoying if you go against this. I would highly recommend getting hexdrinker first item.”
bleapintosh says “very hard to do trades with him because of turrets. Don't feel obliged to play super aggro; that's what he wants.
try to roam in this matchup.”
Elite500 says “He pushes in like cancer, really hard to trade with him since he will make you waste pool with his grenade.. Try to poke him low very slowly, if he has barrier go ff, if he has no barrier just oneshot”
Yamikaze says “The only way he can get a lead is if he gets to stack 3 turrets and push super fast. We can cheese him(before minions spawn) by waiting in a brush while he's stacking turrets and then take them down. Keep taking his turrets down when he's spawning them, and you will have no trouble in this matchup. Your windwall can block ALL his damage. ”
wildersovereign says “You win this matchup most of the time, but that doesn't mean it'll be fun. Heimerdinger is one of the few champions that can match your waveclear even after you get your Lost Chapter, which makes him interesting to lane against. Taking out turrets should be your biggest priority, because they will shred you if you ignore them. The most effective way of doing this is positioning your Tormented Shadow to hit as many of his turrets and minions as possible. Hitting him with it is optional, but helpful, especially if he's low. He becomes more and more vulnerable to all-ins the more turrets he loses, so try to catch him off guard at these points. His kill threat on you is minimal if you play smart. Most importantly, you are WAY stronger outside of laning phase than he is. Survive until then and keep your farm up for the best results.”
ITSDEBEAR says “You just trade with him outside of his turret range and oneshot him later on with electro. Phase rush also works but requires more experiance.”
rajsovsky says “His turrets may be annoying, but he probably shouldn't kill you in laning phase unless he gets jungler's help or you fucked up hard. Try to get Rocketbelt and just kill him. Dodge his W/E with your Pool. You may need wraiths in this matchup”
invalidd says “Tbh you will spend most of this lane trying to farm the CS you can since he beats you in short trades, pokes you pretty hard and
will push you in a lot, he's weaker once you get your items but you need to perform perfect trades to properly win the lane, mostly after he misses his
stun. Can be hard to gank since he can 1v2 you and your jung if one of you are low enough.”
Sylvan Lore says “Heimer is usually very good at pushing people in and gaining large leads through cs alone. Orianna however does not struggle at all in dealing with him. You can use your range to safely remove his towers faster than he can replace them by simply using Q. I would not reccomend using Q->W to take them out though as this will make you run out of mana very quickly. Without towers up, this champion really struggle. Especially if you can push him under his own turret! If he has 3 turrets up, DO NOT try to kill him, even with your jungler. I commonly see people falling into the trap of trying to kill his turrets before you have enough of a mana pool to not destroy yourself by doing it. Buying an extra mana item early in lane is completely acceptable to remove his ability to hold a push on you.”
lkycch says “The lane dominance and bullying that Heimerdinger is capable of will put you under turret all throughout laning phase. Try your best to CS under turret. Don’t waste your mana trying to destroy his turrets with your bombs, as you will get pushed in anyways due to your high cooldowns early on. Remember: Summoner's Rift is a 5V5, not a 1v1. You don't have to stay in lane and suffer a losing matchup!”
Aikairi says “He's so hard to fight when he has Zhonya's. Try to avoid his E when fighting him and you should win unless you are standing in front of 3 turrets. You can try killing one of the turrets by using dagger on it, then shunpoing to turret and hitting it with your passive. He's annoying but shouldn't be much of a threat until post-6 and teamfights when he has Zhonya's.”
lkycch says “The lane dominance and bullying that Heimerdinger is capable of will put you under turret all throughout laning phase. Try your best to CS under turret. Don’t waste your mana trying to destroy his turrets with your bombs, as you will get pushed in anyways due to your high cooldowns early on. Remember: Summoner's Rift is a 5V5, not a 1v1. You don't have to stay in lane and suffer a losing matchup!”
SkellyBirb says “Heimer can't do much against Sivir. Use your range to poke him down and just farm, however don't go all or chase him through his turrets.”
TheHostileCat says “So. Frigging. Annoying. Nothing you can do in laning unless he messes up badly, call for jg help and kill him in teamfights. When he has ult - RUN AWAY. You can try to poke when he has no stuns. ”
KASSAW1N says “
Kass vs Heimer: Match ccomplicado, tienes que aguantar, romper torretitas, cuando hayan menos torretas (pendiente que no tenga el cronometro para usarlo) y haya gastado su stun es tu momento, recuerda que cuando te tires echate para los lados por si planea soltar la R, otra opcion que tienes es hacer casi lo mismo, solo que esta vez entrando y saliendo y se asustara y activara la R por el miedo o por que cree que le iniciaras. (Puedes usar luden para matarlo antes de que responda)”
Rauschel says “If he is played good it is very hard in the laning phase. Histurrets have the same range as you and also focus you if you attack them while he takes barely no damage. Waiting for an good situation at lvl 3 can lead to a kill often, he isnt the tankiest champ”
MisterIncredabel says “Heimer dinger is the best because if you use q on his turrets and kill it u absorb an AP... with tear of goddess you will be able to keep getting AP eventually you'll be so strong u can max ur meteor strike thin and push lane, if u stun him you'll be able to punish him... but if he ults with turrets just walk away until it breaks and you'll be able to win with ease.”
YIVENDER says “Hard early, but after level three it's a free lane. You can wind wall all of his abilities. Be sure to use your wind wall on his E. His turrets give you free dashes, and can easily be killed with an EQ combo.
”
Dr Eggmund says “Don't underestimate Bill Nye as he is a genius after all. Avoid his turret's damage and all-ining him at 6 should be very simple for you as he is very-VERY squishy. Build resistance if you can't bare his turret damage but if you position yourself properly you should have the upper hand throughout all portions of the game.”
Tortoise_Maniac says “- His turrets make it extremely hard for you to get on him
- Just try to match his wavelcear with yours and help your jungler and roam
- You win 2v2 outside of lane as he can't set up turrets
”
Scyrine says “Super annoying and but also super squishy. I see a lot of new players have trouble with him but once your in shroud the turrets he has don't attack you. Do a simple E backwards and Q combo to proc passive and place shroud and hit him with a Q>>AA>>Q combo.”
BCota says “Annoying af ez to feed him just take Dshield and if you need to, buy corrupting potions. Sacrificing some HP for farm might become a necessity but as long as you dont get dangerously low ~40% hp. Just farm you outscale him or if you get the chance trade with Auto+Q even if you lose the trade you still win it because of your sustain”
Chili Dog says “He pushes in like cancer, really hard to trade with him since he will make you waste pool with his grenade. Try to poke him low very slowly, if he has barrier go ff, if he has no barrier just oneshot. Phase Rush recommended.”
JustGalaxy06 says “Take care of his turrets . you can get your q out of his turrets so profit of them and poke him very much . He's a squishy champ so in late he's gonna tank maximum r some aa-s and some q-s . Take care of his stun ”
Dafioske says “Subiría una posición más pero viendo que es blando y en pelea de equipo carece de movilidad de le puede dar casa pero en línea mejor ve farmeando y pienso ayuda al jungla porque. Te tendrá full linea”
Niqkl says “Heimer is an interesting matchup, but as long as you dont get hit by the E you should be good. Dont try to all in him when he has 3 Turrets on him! You will be surprised at how much damage he does.”
vCraze says “Heimerdinger is a pretty easy matchup as you can contest his pushing power fairly early. Do not let him push you under tower as you wont be able to leave. Poke him and if you can kill his turrets when possible, free gold and stops his pushing power periodically. Once you hit 6 you should win every fights as long as you dont get in range of his E.”
OxiteoMyst says “You outrange his turrets i think but his voice is annoying af. Also he has a stun that will ruin your day lategame.
(especially when empowered) ”
SkellyBirb says “Heimerdinger relies on his turrets and they deal most of his damage. You can jump right on top of him and burst him, but he will poke you a lot in lane. Catch him when he isn't near his turrets and abuse his turrets with your Q.”
Kursayer says “This little annoying Yordle is bad for Urgot at the start. He can just sit back and relax and poke Urgot. My best advice is to start Spirit Visage and poke him with Q.”
Sadkid says “Heimer is kind of weird. Usually, you can use your range to his advantage, however, a good heimer will place his turret in front after being slept to block Q. Beware of this interaction. ”
Katfire says “Heimer is really squishy, but he will poke you a lot early game. Dodge his stun and rockets and try to destroy his turrets with your AOE damage as you trade with him. After 6 he might use his big R turret when you all in him and then stun you or stopwatch/Zhonya's and leave you to die to his turrents.
While he isn't a really hard match up you should respect his potential damage.”
WolfRider01 says “Avoid the stun, and focus killing his turrets. He is a lane bully that only scales if he gets fed. Once his stun is on cool down you can easily run him down. Be mindful of his turret damage. Take fleet.”
S4V4 says “Yasuo's kit completely counters Heimer. Dashing around his towers, and windwall makes this lane for Heimer unplayble. Make sure to destroy his towers. Don't underestimate Heimers power, he is pretty dangerous if Yasuo doesn't play the lane correctly.”
Hqzz says “Heimer is a threat to all melee champs, however he can be a problem for Ryze as well. Don't waste mana on killing turrets, auto them as much as possible and do not try to fight while he has turrets up (that is just common sense). ”
Akali go skrrrt says “This is a pretty annoying match up for akali. You can trade when your W is up as his turrets cant target you if you are hidden in your W.”
economistastonks says “No one likes laning against this cruel genius. You can try to all in if he is low on mana, but at level 6 he will be able to simply stun and burst you.
I wouldn't pick Pyke against him. ”
KaAZu13 says “You cannot fight his turrets and minions + him at the same time, he is same as zed, you just cannot advance in the lane with him, it's best to switch to mid or top, avoid having him on the same lane with you.”
DrWindwall says “He just farms and waits to punish your mistakes. keep that in mind and you can deal with him. Short trade with your passive up and leave if he has turrets placed.”
Bobbab says “You can e and q the turrets for an easy all in. Bait out his e and you should easily be able to kill him. Dont fight in 2+ turrets and watch out for his ult turret.”
sweodigaming says “He has very good sustain. He is also very squish. Be careful to not get caught around his turrets, they can do much unexpected damage.”
JoshAy says “Unless you are really good this matchup will haunt your dreams. You can't kill his turrets with Q and get poked out if you try to get rid of them otherwise. Try to push and roam. BAD ULT TO STEAL, WILL CHANGE YOUR ABILITES DONT TAKE IT”
Grayified says “In bot lane, care for turrets in bushes. You take the turrets easily mid, and it takes slightly more effort bot. Heimerdinger is mostly a threat because of his potential damage output if he lands CC and his gank setup.”
Daeydark says “You don't have any kill pressure before level 6, so just look to poke with W when his E is down and safely farm under your turret. Only look to trade with him if your jungler is ganking. Once you hit level 6, you can now beat him in a 1v1 with your standard combo.”
TheCatOfCheshire says “Boooooring, don't focus the turrets, you'll lose your time. Just wait an opportunity to charm and kill him. Send your jungler away, he's going to feed the heimer. Nothing you can do, noyhing he can do.”
SkellyBirb says “You don't have much kill pressure as his turrets will deal damage even if you stun him, but you can roam to gain your advantage and he won't be able to stop you easily.”
FalleN3 says “This is a lane where he will generally have you shoved up to your tower all day long with his turrets. They are pretty squishy so try to not let him get x3 of them set-up. Try to farm as much as you can, look for picks and out-roam him if possible. Use your mobility to your advantage. He is pretty squishy so after level 6 you can 100-0 him but be aware, even after he is dead the turrets will continue to shoot at you. You can use your Shroud to drop tower agro once he is dead. It is a tough lane Pre 6 though!”
FalleN3 says “This is a lane where he will generally have you shoved up to your tower all day long with his turrets. They are pretty squishy so try to not let him get x3 of them set-up. You can try to kill them with Q+W and (E) out as needed but be aware this will cost you quiet a bit of mana! Try to farm as much as you can, look for picks and out-roam him if possible. Use your mobility to your advantage. After level 6 you should be able to all-in him but be aware, even after he is dead the turrets will continue to shoot at you.”
BloooodTV says “D-Blade. Use his turrets as mobility against him. He will poke you a bit but it won't be enough to force you out of lane, especially if you can keep the pressure up on him. You should always have lane priority in this matchup. Outscales you. Take Fleet or Conq (Depends on team comp).”
Fadedreformed says “Easy matchup don't die pre 6 and he is just unable to do anything. Avoid getting hit by his e because his turrets are gonna chunk you for a huge amount”
DaggerTV_ says “Heimer will do exactly what you dont want. He will permapush, forcing you to stay in lane and he will have perma prio. There is essentaily nothing you can do but wait for your jungler to do something. However, this amtchup is rare
”
Yuki H. says “Though it seems to be a difficult lane, Zed can actually start q'ing Heimer's turrets while he's setting them up before minions spawn in lane. (2q's per turret). For in-lane trading patterns, do NOT look to W in if Heimer is holding both stun and rockets with nearby turrets. Only look for aggressive trades if he does not have turrets or rocket/stun grenade. Otherwise just try to poke him down with abilities without going too near.”
fwii says “Start Corrupting potion and farm until Jungle Gank. Heimer is very poke heavy with his Turrets and it's risky to trade against him early. Killable after level 6. ”
bobatea says “Idk you have to be lucky to win against a heim as hes super annoying in lane with his turrets. Just try to farm up to get like a extra dorans blade and getting 6 and all inng on him so get some sort of lead but jsut try not to feed him, busted late game.”
Proma says “Dshield
You're better off looking for roams than trying to kill him as most of them tend to place towers and permashove/sit under tower. If he blows his E and you get on top of him you should win.”
Chiefsnake says “Annoying early game because he can out shove you with his turrets so you just have to farm until you have enough points in W to shove and roam”
Veralion says “HoB/MANY BEADS. Hope you’re good at farming under turret, cause you’re going to be doing a lot of it. Your E is on too long of a CD to cleanly deal with his turrets, but you can do enough to keep him on 1 or 2. 2 E’s or an E-auto will kill them; try to line up shots which get a few last hits and also hit a turret, then follow up with a melee if you think you can get away with it. One turret shooting you does very little damage. You should be able to prevent him from leapfrogging all 3 turrets too far forward, which is the real threat of Heimerdinger. Stand behind creeps to avoid full-wave missile hits. You won’t be able to avoid his missile spreads, but they won’t hurt too badly. If you get clipped by a grenade, turn on W and run perpendicular to the incoming turret lasers. You’ll be able to run right out of the most damaging part of his kit. Do NOT get grenade stunned around 2 or 3 turrets or you'll be chunked right out of lane. He squishes easily, so you can kill him once he shoves in after you’ve just backed and bought, but check his inventory first and don’t get baited by Zhonya’s. He usually takes the Stopwatch rune. If he plops down a big turret and uses stasis, you’re probably dead. You’ll need to immediately go on him when you get back to lane after a buy before he chips you back down again. If you incidentally hit his big turret with your E during your all in, smite it to finish it off. Orbit him while you’re hitting him to make it harder for him to land grenade stun; the direct hit radius is pretty small, and mind those turret lasers! ”
Zoe Sparklepop says “He takes a big bulky stance in mid lane trying to take it over but your AA AA Q kills the turrets so you should be able to win this fairly easily with poke
When he gets 6 and puts down a big turret, just back off with E.”
snukumz says “Supposedly a counter to Vel'Koz.
Focus on wave clearing, and killing his turrets when he puts them up.
Watch out for his stun, and don't let your jungler gank him unless he's out of little turrets.
Late-late game you can roast him with a Q and your ultimate. ”
1256 says “just outscale him, very annoying because of permaprio, hes barely gankable too and you cant rly destroy his turrets, legit nobrainer
fleet+dom”
goodimbinatas says “His turrets grant you additional stacks in laning phase and are even easier to farm later on in the game when Veigar has enough AP to one-shot them with his Q.”
PepeOnDrugs says “This is a lane where he will generally have you shoved up to your tower all day long with his turrets. They are pretty squishy so try to not let him get x3 of them set-up. Try to farm as much as you can, look for picks and out-roam him if possible. Use your mobility to your advantage. He is pretty squishy so after level 6 you can 100-0 him but be aware, even after he is dead the turrets will continue to shoot at you. You can use your Shroud to drop tower agro once he is dead. It is a tough lane Pre 6 though!
”
CallMeDaddyGR says “I dont have much to say about this annoying guy, there is not much you can do about him, just dont get hit by his stun and play passive till you get a gank from your jg, be careful tho, a single missplay can lead to him getting a double and trust me, you dont want that to happen”
Debonair Karma says “His turrets will put you in a lot of trouble. No real way to counterplay him other than staying under tower and farm with Q. Take teleport”
Gageowago says “Just don't fight him in his turrets. This is a matchup where corrupting potions aren't a terrible choice. -----(Patch 9.24b) Heimer is a weaker pick now because of the nerf to his rockets and grenade, but he is still a threat so continue to not fight in his turrets.”
topal says “very hard to deal with if he sets up his towers well.try to all in him if he steps out of his towers and kill them with q.Take absolute focus to kill the towers easier.”
Ignix0 says “Hes by far the dumbest champ in the game, I hate this matchup (even though you win it). Just keep your distance and weq him to death! You should really watch out if he has zhonyas.”
ZombieZack1 says “Heimerdinger can Win against Lux if played Well but Mostly Lux will win, Heim is Easily Dodged and Lux can Shield throughout his Turret Damage”
Lil Tidepod says “It's really difficult to get close enough to Heimer to pop any of your combos, because his turrets will just never-endingly chunk your health. Try and clear his turrets as quickly as possible, preferably before you kill minions, because they will cause him to win any trade. If you dodge his stun bomb, engage on him if he has one or no turrets up, as he has nothing to stop you from popping his health bar.”
Fhizzikx says “You will most likely be shoved in pretty hard but try to keep the wave in balance by using w on the wave. It isn't that dangerous to shove the wave with e since heimer cant really punish you for using your e. Later in the game you should win.”
Malmortious says “He will put some turrets down for pressure, try to play around them. Dodge his skillshots and burst him fast when you can, preferably by surprise attack with E. His turrets give him a lot of lane control so you will need to roam more to match his pressure and stay relevant if you can't get kills on him.”
RockitoAhri says “Annoying. Don't focus on his tower too much, let them be. He usually steps up to secure CS, make sure to poke him and be ready to sidestep his Grande (E). It will make the turrets focus you and poof your HP. TLDR: avoid grenade and poke him when he comes for CS. ”
ER1KLB says “Can outscale you. His turrets are really annoying and if he's able to put them correctly, you're not going to do much, just wait for a gank.”
t3rminated says “This heim ding dong is fairly easy for you. You can easily outrange his turrent and poke him. Great thing is that if you kill his turrent with your Q, it refunds mana back. Poke him out and dodge his stuns. ”
jster131 says “this is one of those matchups where you are goint to want to let him push you into your turret. His turrets are annoying to deal with, bu they can be killed almost instantly by hitting an auto-q cancel (See Tips n' Tricks). Dodge his stun with e and disengage when you se his ult indicator ( He gets a weird kinda helmet). Also, you can dash over Heimerdinger's turrets to gap close if there are no minions nearby.”
theboywhodominatedaplat says “This dude is cancer his turrets, and range, basically everythign Q his turrets while he's placing it before the minion spawn and always Spam ur Qs on his turrets and try to farm as well and call your jungler to help you out but before that clear his Q's or he will get a double kill. if you don't want to face him just ban him”
Witchxry says “Heimerdinger is not good to go up against, but he is very squishy. You're going to want to focus on CS and break his turrets any chance you can.”
Sloyr says “All of the mages are really easy to counter, you just have to dodge their CCs with your E or wait for them to waste it, to then go all in.”
ekkologix says “this guy is the teemo from midlane,
be agressive , 3 Hit then when you're positioning yourself dodge his skill , pretty much like ziggs matchup, a bit harder.”
8wolf says “His towers are just free farm for you. +10 gold whoop whoop. Careful at his e. if he lands one expect a ton of burst dmg. Most times this is a farm lane.”
NebuIa says “Very annoying waveclear lane but nothing more than that. Similar to Anivia pains. Don't R too close to him or he will dump his damage onto you.”
TheBlueImperial says “Heavy poke lane but has mana issues and incredibly squishy. If you full combo them they're dead and you have the option to roam.”
Je Suis Azir says “Honestly, you can take care of his turrets, and poke him, all while not losing control of the wave. Just cripple him, he is a shitty little Yordle who can get stiffed by you if you shred his turrets and poke him viciously.”
Dgraider says “You'll need your jungler to help you out with this matchup to secure a kill if the heimerdinger plays well, but you should be able to clear his turrets without too much trouble. I'd advise taking celerity in this because the move speed really helps with dodging his abilities”
cobbzy says “Really difficult match-up. He will poke all day long and every time you trade he will have his turrets do most of the work. Avoid getting stunned by his E, watch out for ult-W. Roam often, or get jungler help. ”
sekkondsEU says “Havent seen him in mid for quite a long time, but he is pretty annoying. Dont trade-risk too much, reather try looking only for good trades and all-ins.”
DravensBukkake says “Ignite Matchup
Run down mid level 1, he'll try to setup turrets. Destroy them with soldiers. LUL free gold. Spam W Q AA with Ludens rush, farm off his towers, shove this mofo in.
He will shove you in for the first few levels, but that's ok, this bitch ass will miss half his cs anyways.
Very easy to shuffle gank.”
Marumo says “Threat level 2.
When first you lane against a Heimerdinger it seems a very hard lane to win. However, Heimer actually gives Veigar the perfect conditions to thrive. Heimer gives you turrets you can Q to get stacks off of, he makes you farm under the safety of your turret and he makes you wait for the late game. When you hit the late game you should have massively outscaled him.
Just dodge his stun and it's easy stacks.”
Braddik says “if you can take out his turrets early you can trade well while blocking damage with your q. past 6 you should be able to 1 shot him as he has low mobility”
Cloud375 says “The turrets are painful and outrange your auto attack range, you need to be careful when playing against him. Your Q does have enough range to hit turrets and poke the Heimer though, so try abuse that when you can and the lane should be easier.”
Tayna says “This is just sad, your W will destroy his turrets + farm for you. He can't CC you, u have more range, and he can't run from your R. Just...sad...”
IceBite says “Try to get a jungler with cc and kill him together with him. Lee is perfect vs him because he can kick him out of his turrets. Do not jump in blind.”
Sneaky boi says “Start D shield, try to farm and dodge his skills. Buy stopwatch versus him so when he land a skillshot on you the turrets laser won't do damage.
”
Chromuro says “Heimer is pretty easy, his turrets will fall like flies with your voidlings. The only annoying part is that the turrets can "distract" your E.”
Big Shawn says “I would classify it as a greenlight, but you never know. Heimerdinger is quite a disgusting champ with him constantly just "Camping" on the lane.”
SeeEl says “People who play this champion are reported to start wars, create famine and evolve new genetically superior diseases. You will not have priority in this lane and he will smack you but remember that your utility in teamfights and late game scaling is superior. That being said, there are literally no good heimerdinger players until challenger. Also, don't try to outpush this guy, accept that he is keyboard smashing drooler smashing his QWE buttons so play to farm.”
DVL CHALLNGR says “If you burst him and build Hexdrinker it will be hard for him to kill you because you will have MR and when you R him he can't absorb your damage but you must dodge his E stun to move away”
EvilOranges says “D-Shield or D-Blade. This matchup is basically him shoving over and over again while you maintain a freeze. He can't kill you, you can't kill him. (At least solo). Wait for jungler or level 6 spike, and always Windwall or E his grenade. Take Fleet Footwork.”
Vispectra says “I class this match up as minor because yes , you won't be able to kill him , but that goes the same way for him. He's just a nuisance in lane but later on you'll make him regret picking Heimer. Be sure to avoid his stun at all costs.”
League Gamer says “His turrets are able to poke you down, but you are able to pick them up with your W. Throwing his turrets away from you helps keep the fight pretty even.”
Best Akali Fra says “Just... Stay away from this bullshit XD
Nah, seriously... just freeze your lane and wait for your jungler. This is really hard to kill Heimerdinger because of his stun (E) and his turrets (Q/A) You will get low hp faster and it's gonna be more difficult to do trades !!”
KaktusHraje08 says “When u press E on him his turret outdamage u so much so play so much agressive when u reach lvl3 take water element stun him press E on him and take grass element q him and run away ”
unownreality says “you can singularity his turrets for easy kills. He shouldnt be able to get the foothold he needs to win lane, as long as you are taking out the turrets effectivly. ”
kilgta says “Level 1 to 4 is the hardest part as he pushes you undertower. Try to shove the lane the most at level 1 to 4 but I doubt you will be able to. Use E and W on towers. Ult him on ganks or when no towers. Hes very squishy. Ludens into Zhonya will make the lane easy. He will stay at his towers but you will E+Q them and then hell run to his tower and youll get to nexus. Start sapphire or corrupt.”
MechaaZero says “Eh. More annoying than anything. A good Heimer will block your E with his turrets if he is expecting is, but if your use your Q wisely and wait for a gank if your pressed, it can be relatively balanced.”
CC Diana says “This is an awful matchup. You can't do anything pre 6 and post 6, it's still bad. Heimerdinger likes sitting inside his ring or turrets which makes it incredibly frustrating to CS and risky to dive in. Pre 6, you'll have to sacrifice some CS farm with Q. Keep an eye on the white bar on Heimer's turrets. When the bar is white, the next shot from the turret will deal increased damage and will pass through units so do not be in the line of fire. Once you are 6, do not jump in recklessly. Heimerdinger will likely still be sitting in his ring of turrets which is his safe zone. Assuming you do dive in, make sure he used his E (stun). If he catches you with it, it will empower ALL of his surrounding turrets which will either kill you or get you very low, not to mention he will also UPGRADE!!! his turret to a super turret. So, poke him out with Q to get him low and go in for the kill when you can. Don't take unnecessary risks.”
RagexAddict says “Heimerdinger is by far one of the most frustrating champions for Fizz to deal with in lane. He will constantly push you to your tower and make it difficult for you to CS effectively. Try your best to farm up and all in him by levels 2-3 if possible. Taking teleport against him might also be a good idea if you're confident that you won't be able to get at him in game.”
SrSuders says “Aufgrund der kleinen Geschütze die er aufstellen kann mach das Fassen von Heimerdinger schwierig.
Jedoch wenn man Heimerdinger eine Falle stellt oder schnell one-shotet, in der Backline z.B stellt er kein Problem dar.”
Flipps says “Prioritize taking out his turrets before anything, but don't get caught out. Heimerdongs mostly rush zhonyas so instead of countering you he might get armour instead. That being said don't chase him into his turrets and avoid the stun.”
PhoenixianSlayer says “If you give him the lane for a bit, good luck getting back in. Ask for a gank if you leave to gank someone else. A recall is fine since you come through tower and can slowly cut in through that way”
RainbowNova says “Heimerdinger's E(CH-2 Electron Storm Grenade) has a pretty big radius, which can both slow and stun you. His R(UPGRADE!!!) makes this radius even bigger, allowing him to slow/stun you easier.”
borsamalac says “Irritating to lane vs him , play with teleport. He will force u to farm under tower, his main dmg comes from when he lands stun on you and his turrets starts to deal dmg to you. When u have trinity +boots its your time to kill him.”
Yenwai says “more of a nuisance really, if you play passive, farm and roam with teleport or help jungle invade he cant do to much and you'll out scale mid game with your R and team.”
Bughans says “Quite fast, but shouldn't be that much of a problem. Dodge his stun, preferably while engaging with W. Then he oughta be dead. Be prepared to run if he uses ult turret. ”
SmokeyEggs says “This champion is literally impossible to trade with until you have Protobelt and Mercs, just roam and push hard until you have those items and then you win”
ryze4thewin says “you cant kill him he cant kill you try to get kills with roaming then when fed kill him in lane he is cancer but you are better at roaming”
Bestlover says “Realy hard to kill him, and he as higt dmg as well so you need to be skill to dodge his abilities.
Look to roam and ask jungle help to shave the wave when you need to.”
AzureArmatt says “Without his turrets heimer is useless. So just destroy his turrets and then go for the win. staying behind minions will prevent his rockets to hit you. It looks simple now right?”
Shaawn says “The only way he can get a lead is if he gets to stack 3 turrets and push super fast. We can cheese him(before minions spawn) by waiting in a brush while he's stacking turrets and then take them down. Keep taking his turrets down when he's spawning them, and you will have no trouble in this matchup. Your windwall can block ALL his damage.”
Dudstrol says “Use seu E nas torretas e empurre a rota quando possível, heimer perde muita força sem suas torres. Mesmo assim não deixe ele acertar um combo, pois caso acerte ira te matar ou fazer voltar base.”
overweight_zoe says “Easy wave clear match up. Q's reach a point where its cd is shorter than his turrets and you can actually shove heimer in his tower by one hitting his turrets. ”
Jenkinsu says “Another dodge at champ select. His turrets make your life a living hell and will block every W you throw out. His range isn't abusable since he can kite your W to land his stun to delete combo. ”
moutenn says “First of all. He can replace towers faster then you can destroy them. And if you poke his towers you cant poke him. So there is no winning. If you R, you will get insta-stunned, then bursted by his towers. You CAN win but its hard. Also most heimers rush Hourglass no matter what.”
qasddsa says “Extremely oppressive laning phase; be prepared to constantly be pushed to your tower. Although it does get easier later on, he can still be a huge threat late game just because of his turret damage and the potential stun on you if you Riftwalk into his face.”
Skeptil says “While being a very annoying champion, your Tides of Blood can easily take care of his turrets, so he shouldn't be that much of a problem to lane against.”
mandatorycloud says “Heimer pushes you in and there's not much you can do about it because Swain's waveclear is bad. Look to CS as best you can and wait for ganks. ”
Gambinos says “Heimerdinger is such an annoying champ to go against. He'll be annoying but thing is, you'll probs win mid-late game. Maybe even early game. Thing about him is that he has turrets, but the thing is, you have W, your Wind Wall. That'll do much of the work. Also you should stay behind minion when against him anyways.”
Sozzoh says “People still play this guy? If you find yourself going up against a Heimerdinger, be happy. You can farm from his turrets, and dodging his W, E, and his Ult'd W or E can be pretty easy sometimes. Play aggressive and you win lane.”
Katapullt says “Start Dark Seal or Doran's Shield. Dont fight him in the early lvl's and engage when his E is on cooldown. You can use your Q on his turrets to enlarge your jump range.”
wo xiang zhaoo says “He just pushes hard. If he knows what to do, you won't have any killpressure until you got 2 items. Be careful when your jungler ganks because of his turrets.”
DuhBrandon says “heimerdinger is heimerdinger you lost at champ select. Want Farm? turrets do a thousand health, Wanna poke? Turrets do a thousand damage, Wanna kill me? what do you know zhonya is up and oh yeah the turrets do a thousand damage while im taking a nap. just try and stay under tower and destroy his turrets with your Q.”
Smol Jelly says “A skill match-up. You can do damage to his turrets and out-range most of his attacks. Just keep an eye on his ult status. Try to save your E for when you can poke Heimer and a turret. Just aiming for the turrets will cause you nothing but trouble, as he can regen them very quickly. Poke smart.”
Profesor APH. says “he have cc on her e but its pretty easy to destroy hes turret with calibrium and you have ur own turret its pretty funny to watch fight between them”
OverjarlZane says “Heimer is very annoying. While, yes you can deal with his turrets if he places them poorly in a lot of cases he'll be able to lock you down and 60% you with one e-q combo. Give him respect, may wanna run Barrier for this one.”
Deathfeather says “I hate the disrespect abuse pick but ok, you go even and outscale if you play well enough. also the nerfs a couple patches ago hit hard.”
xf3NNI3 says “The same thing about Vel'koz can be said about Heimerdinger. Extremely high range, huge poke and burst damage. He's also quite immune to ganks and can take your turret plates extremely fast, especially if you pair him up with another mage, such as Fiddlestick, Zyra or even Vel'koz.”
Eccentricks says “This guy got powerful as an ADC recently, and more played too. I have only faced one in this new patch, but, lemme tell ya, I got smacked DOWN. There is really nothing to do but dodge if you see him. That high win rate got there for a reason. Lets hope he gets nerfed back into his place soon.”
Pacu says “Skill matchup, smite is advised in this case, because you can just 1 shot the small turrets and 1 smite and like 2 auto his ulted one. Nullifying orb is optional.”
mhsmhs123 says “The rise of mages in the bot lane has led to an obvious downfall of weak early game marksmen like Vayne. Not only does heimer do significantly more damage that Vayene early, but his turrets allow him to clear faster and have an overall better control of the wave, which hinders Vayne's ability to farm in order to get her items.”
Fruxo says “Take care of his turrets and he won't be able to do anything. Dodge his stun or you might possibly die because of it. His main focus is to farm up as he's very vulnerable early on, he's also very immobile so ganks are very useful in this kind of matchup.”

Tips Against Heimerdinger in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
I Am Goliath says “Heimer is just simply annoying in my experience, very hard to kill him early but he also shouldn't kill you, he's going to just be pushing you in 24/7 so try calling for jungle help pre 6 before he gets his big turret. Try your best to push in this lane and atleast keep it in the middle of the lane, if you ever land an E on him you should be able to kill him quickly in one full combo, but do be careful of stopwatch/zhyonas which they usually get early since their turrets can do the work for them.”
Drake6401 says “Only difficult if your jungler never ever ganks. If you have a jungler with brain cells, you'll be okay.A very annoying laner no matter where he goes. If he's feeling extra petty, he'll go top. This is just a farming lane for the most part as he will run from every fight. if he tries to poke with his stun grenade then you have an opening to engage. Make it a very very short fight. PTA rune is recommended and use bushes as a get out method to disengage his turrets. He's terrible at lane control and inevitably overextends which makes him vulnerable to ganks. ”
Stinkee says “Only problem with Heimerdinger is the fact that he'll shove lanes to your tower nonstop. You need a mana item (Abyssal Mask) to keep up with him and shove your waves. You can actually throw his turrets with your E, allowing you to reposition them to better manage your waves. You can even throw his turrets towards your tower so your tower fires at it. He will not be much of a threat at all unless his jungler comes.”
Rhoku says “TL;DR - DIFFICULT MATCHUP. DON’T TAKE TOO MUCH POKE. START DSHIELD +SECOND WIND INTO MERC BOOTS IF YOU HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN FIGHTING BACK. IF YOU HAVE BEEN GETTING OBLITERATED, GO FOR NEGATRON CLOAK AND FARM UP. YOU OUT SCALE HIM IN 1V1. IF HE GETS COCKY AND STEPS TOO FAR UP, PULL HIM IN AND CHASE HIM DOWN WITH GHOST. ASK FOR JUNGLE HELP IF POSSIBLE. CONQUEROR WORKS SINCE WERE BUILDING DEFENSIVELY. FORCE FIGHTS WHEN HE DOESN’T HAVE TURRETS SET UP/IS NOT NEAR HIS TURRETS. FREE KILL WITH STRIDEBREAKER.
A Heimer lane is poke city. Take EVERY anti poke thing at your disposal. His rockets do so much damage if he lands all of them that you might need to start triple dshield in order to have enough health to actually survive in this lane. On the bright side, he will almost ALWAYS be pushed up so he is very gankable. Not to mention how if he is overconfident and steps too far up, you can run him down. He is low hp so you can kill him very quickly. The trick is not dying after. Even if he isn’t there to attack you, his turrets will be. Unflinching in addition to Second Wind is great. I’d recommend packing tenacity and Rushing Merc boots if you think you have kill pressure on him. If he completely destroys you, just give up and build Negatron Cloak. On the bright side, you outscale him in the 1v1 as you tend to be very tanky so as long as you dont die and get whatever farm you can get, you will get to a point where he is free food for you. Feel free to kill his turrets using your Q or W. But later on, they become so tanky that the damage you take while doing so is not even worth killing the turret, especially since Heimer will just put another one down.”
ForgottenProject says “This is not a lane this is just Torment. You'll be under your turret for the first 15 Minutes of the game making you Question why even bother with this Game?
[1]Take Teleport and Just Farm out the Lane, there's not much you can do here.
[2]Take Corrupting Pot in Lane and Pick up Mercs so you dont get overwhelmed by his damage.
[3]You can beat him if he doesn't have his turrets set-up or if you kill his turrets and still have Most of your Hp.
[4] Don't ask for ganks just focus on farming till the Laning Phase is over, you will out-scale Hard.”
Kaizin says “Take a few early points into your E so that you're able to farm and clear his cannons. He'll most likely keep you pushed into tower so just try to farm as best as you can and avoid walking up to the wave near his turrets as he deals a lot more damage than expected. Second wind, early boots and health are all very good into this matchup. At level 6 you can try to go for an all in, just make sure you've poke him down to at least 60% with your E. That way you can kill him in one rotation of abilities. If he flashes I'd take the flash, let your jungler know and don't be greedy.”
BoilTheOil says “Take Fleet Footwork. You can't kill him in lane ever and he pokes you out. If their jungler or mid laner is also AP rush Merc treads against him. If your jungler ganks him you can probably kill him just by running into him and using E, just watch out for his insane burst. If they don't have any frontline for you to ult he outscales you. ”
Veng Shotz says “Rush mercs+ cowl/hexdrinker and pray you have enough damage to kill him before you die.
If you dont you wont be able to play the lane.
If you do you still wont be able to farm but you can try to kill him on repeat. Farm after he dies when turrets shut down, its all you'll get before he comes back and sets up turrets again. ”
Sovereign Kitten says “You can (Q) his turrets and kill them with 2 (AA), so your objective is to focus on this and avoid using abilities, if you prefer to not max (Q). However, if you do max (Q) you can kill his turrets in one (Q) so long as you have the AP early game, which allows allowing you to press your advantage of shoving him back and not setting up a perma shove into your tower. Keep on your toes scout! You need to be vigilant and keep avoiding all of his skill shots. Once his towers are down for a tiny second you can get in and poke him a little or continue to simply take his turrets down until he's out of mana. A good Heimer will keep you pinned under tower all game.
”
The_Unf0rgiv3n says “Avoid fighting him while he has 2-3 turretns around him. Blocking his stun doesnt mean winning the trade because his turrets deal A LOT of dmg early game. At level 6, dont fight him if he spawns the big turret! Wait for it to expire and go back in for the kill.”
Justkb says “More annoying than effective! Make sure that you take Dorans Shield and that you are able to get Q's off against him tower at level 2! Once you get Merc Treads you can safely Q his towers while trying to dodge his stun. If you can take out 2 towers without his response make sure you try to run him down and finish him off.”
Raen says “Annyoing to play against, try to destory his mini turrets and jump in when he uses his E. Early doran shield will be helpful vs his poke and Sheen for kill potential.”
LoLReal says “Enjoy farming under turret because that's all you'll be able to do in this lane. Ungankable champion too, obnoxious to play against. Build early cowl and focus on farming well for mid-game.”
Rhoku says “This matchup is going to be HELL. For the first 5 levels, you just need to sit back and make sure not to take damage. Trust me when I tell you that 1 stun grenade, regardless whether he lands the slow or the stun, will lead to you getting chunked from full to half HP INSTANTLY. If you can land a pull, your combo will do a lot of damage to him, as he is innately a squishy champion but trying to do so will leave you vulnerable. Just make sure you SURVIVE until level 6. Give up CS, conserve HP and try to passively exist in your lane. On the bright side, your ultimate CHANGES the entire dynamic. His turrets and etc won't be around to help him in the Death Realm. So look to Ult him either AS he throws out his stun grenade, OR as he puts down his super turret with his ultimate. This way, you will cancel one of his major abilities which will allow you to just walk up and murder him with little resistance.”
Phrxshn says “Consider roaming across the map.Try to kill Heimerdinger if you chose to lane against him. Dodging his skillshots will determine if you can trade or not. (Recommended Items: Force of Nature for laning; Spirit Visage, Mercury's Treads) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Heimerdinger, Trundle without turrets) (Outscaling Edge: Trundle)
”
Psychopathic Top says “This is a matchup where the Heimerdinger determines the difficulty of the lane. Bad Heimers drop turrets for no reason and gives you free stacks (while auto shoving the wave to your tower). Good Heimers would simply shove you out of lane and force early backs which is the biggest problem, as you lose econ in losing way too much cs and stacks. The best way to play this matchup is to survive as long as possible before backing, and rushing lucidity boots to juke his stun. HE WILL BE UP LEVELS AND GOLD through cs and plates there's nothing to do about that, just remember you are better at teamfighting so don't sweat if his up a lot of gold early, do NOT die no matter what. Look for flanks in mid game and try to avoid a head on fight vs Heimer's team.”
Phrxshn says “Consider being a full-time Proxy Singed because you will not out trade him. If you cannot push or set-up proxy consider skipping a wave just to proxy. Try to kill Heimerdinger if you chose to lane against him. Dodging his skillshots will determine if you can trade or not. (Recommended Items: Force of Nature or Abyssal Mask for laning; Rylai's Scepter, Mercury's Treads) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Heimerdinger, Singed without turrets) (Outscaling Edge: Even)”
P1Legend says “Stack ap early, every ap component you can find. this match becomes the easiest thing in the world when you can just double W his turrets and have all his damage potential disappear, while also hitting him for 60% of his hp. keep clearing his turrets this way once you stack enough Ap and the matchup is very easy”
SethPRG says “You win level 1, I'd try to bush cheese, but if he doesn't die you will have to play safe unless you can dodge everything and destroy his turrets quickly. Better to just let him push and wait for your JG or level 6 and Stridebraker. His missiles are relatively easy to dodge unless he aims the skill shot to be widespread. His turrets are annoying, but in all-ins, you can use that against him by stunning him into them. If he tries to throw a stun bomb at you use your ult to dodge the CC. Rush Mercury Treads into Stridebreaker, and then get Force of Nature second item, you will need the pasive. He won't be able to beat you after that till late game.”
deathwalker7119 says “Another really hard matchup, if you see this guy in ranked you should probably just dodge or spam ping jungle help. You cannot fight him in his turrets as they fuck you, so always play back and wait for him to push past them. You need to parry his grenade + dash out of the missiles, or else you will get 1 shot. Again, his turrets will literally solo kill you as they give him movement speed and do incredible DPS, AVOID THEM AT ALL COSTS!!!!”
Phrxshn says “Consider roaming across the map.Try to kill Heimerdinger if you chose to lane against him. Dodging his skillshots will determine if you can trade or not. (Recommended Items: Force of Nature for laning; Spirit Visage, Mercury's Treads) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Heimerdinger, Warwick without turrets) (Outscaling Edge: Warwick)”
SunFalk says “He can play safe. He has a stun. He has a lot of damage. He has a good wave clear. - Heimerdinger is very annoying, play safe under tower and CS their, let him push with his cannons and dodge his stun, wait this way for a gank to kill the Heimer. Possitive point about laning against Heimer is that you'll almost never get ganked.”

SirGRC says “Worth a Ban: No
If you can position your W well, then you should not be taking damage from all his turrets, or at least most of them, and your E makes it very easy to dodge his other abilities. He will most likely keep you pushed under your tower, ask for a gank or just play safe and cs as best as possible.”
Xerath gaming says “Never fought against this but in my opinion it should be free kill when you press R since all his turrets wont be in the realm of death”
FeedLaneGetCaryd says “Try your best to farm and scale. You can ask your jungler for a gank. Heimer will perma push because of his turrets. Buy MR. E+Flashing when your R is up and you are full HP usually means a kill.”

”
PK Noob says “You can avoid his poke, but when you look to all-in him your still gonna close enough to be shot by his turrets and get stunned. Heimerdinger is extremely squishy, so wait for the perfect opportunity to one-shot him.”
SavagePridestalker says “Kinda weird matchup, you'll never be really able to kill him, since he'll just be pushing the lane against you permanently. I'd say DON'T play tank Rengar into him.”
DaSticks says “Very hard matchup if the heimer plays well. He can 1v2 you and your jungler if he has ult so ping your jungler away! You can kill his turrets with autos when safe to but he recharges them quickly so it's hard to get a good window to trade, just play defensively. When you want to all in him bait him into throwing E then flash on him.”
Marwaii says “Dude, nerf Heimerdinger. Take shield and play safe till mega Gnar. Mega Gnar will kill him at lvl 6 and you can kill his turrets with your Qs.
Take Stride + Mercs.”
RealIreliaCarriesU says “Can be troubling if he lands his combo on you but it is fairly easy to avoid everything he throws at you. Start with Q and look to build your passive/be aggressive early on. If you land your E at level 2 it is a guaranteed flash or kill from him depending on how hard you chunk him. You can be extremely aggressive against him just make sure to be aware of ganks. Post 6 it is crucial to avoid his combo as he can easily do 80%+ of your hp in a second or two if you get hit by his combo. Avoid his combo and you are golden in all ins.”
xPetu says “Recommended: Sustain Runes & Teleport
Tips: W blocks his Turret AAs. Use Passive shield when going in to kill Turrets. Engage only if he wastes E.”
quinn adc says “Heimerdinger turret range is 350, while your auto attack range is 525, so you can freely hit his turrets from afar.
His turrets requires 2 AAs to kill, OR 1 Q + 1 AA to kill them.
If you blind a turret, the turret is disabled for 1.5 seconds INCLUDING his ulted tower.
In lane, Heimerdinger wants to stack his towers and shove you in.
Ideally you DON'T want to leash if possible so that you can come to lane first.
Hard shove him early so whenever he puts down a tower, you can kill it with ease.
Without lane control, you will back Heim your BISH. Stand behind minions in lane because Heim W is easy to hit, the beams, and if he hits you with them, his towers get 20% increased range.
Now, the most important thing, DODGE HEIMERDINGER E STUN AT ALL COSTS! His E is 970 range, which means he can land it from far away.
To counter this, whenever Heim Es you, either vault a minion OR Heimerdinger himself, and by doing so, your vault will juke & dodge his E stun, which is important because if he lands his E on you, he can follow up with his W AND all turrets within 1000 range will gain 100% beam charge.
If his E is down, it is a 12 second CD, so you can retaliate with a combo and you will win.
Even if he has a few turrets up, I like to hard combo him and you will deal more damage, even if he has some turrets up.
Even better, if you let him W after he Es and both abilities don't hit you, now you HARD win the engage.
Post 6 be mindful of his R.
Ulted Turret only has 450 range and Heim usually uses it defensively if you try to all in him, so if he uses it, save blind for it to disable it.
His empowered W has immense range and damage, so if you are low, play far back because he can snipe you with it.
Finally, ulted grenade can bounce, so be careful not to be hit by it.
With this lane, DO NOT ROAM because heim can push so fast and take so many plates.
You can resort to a farm lane if you need to, but I find that Heim is easy to beat when you play around juking his E stun and punishing him when this ability is down :) Just remember, GET LANE PRIO and you will find the matchup to be easier than expected :D”
LiL Bunnie FuFuu says “Complete hell. This champion is known for pissing everyone off and this is especially true for Thresh. Why? Because Heimer's turrets block your hook. His W poke can be quite high and it is not difficult for him to hit an E on you due to Thresh's immobility.
The lane becomes more playable once you have Spectre's Cowl which is mandatory for this lane as it gives health, mr, and health regen to survive his nonstop poke. Expect to lose your tower at 12 minutes without jungle supervision.”
Womsky says “lane survival, doran's sheild, He is known as the ultimate lane bully who shoves u under your turret and forces u to stay there all laning phase while poking you, but as a tryndamere, u have so much sustain and u can destroy his turrets while out sustaining his mana pool, he has alot of skill shots, so dodging is important in this matchup, he will try to throw stuff at u when u go for his turrets, but u can dodge it and destroy them, he is nothing without his turrets, when the game starts u can also head to the lane right away to prevent him from setting up turrets, if u let him set up too much he can poke u out, dives and kills on him is easy if u take out all turrets and stay high hp high fury, his base states are nothing compared for you.”
Boptimus says “Annoying butt munch. I've only met 1 heimerdinger that managed to kill me. And then I killed them in my passive. You can E their turrets away and they funnel you CS. If they've run out of turret they're extremely easy to kill.”
DippyDan says “Perma-pusher, impossible to get priority in lane, and has high DPS poke. Will be sitting under turret pretty much the entire game.
TIPS: [1] Lv. 1-3 your Q+AA kills the turret, but eventually won't. Make use of this. [2] Pick up Lifesteal early to sustain in the lane.
[3] Can easily kill with R and Parry.”
Vandenelis says “you can't win trades against him if he knows what he is doing. But he can't do damage unless you walk into the range of his turrets. So you should be able to just farm up early. he gets increased movement speed near his turrets, so if your jungle is ganking and you miss your cc then just fall back and stop the gank, since a good Heimerdinger could kill you both when you don't have cc”
DarkyTheReal says “Easy matchup, Heimerdinger is very weak this season, and you kill one turret with auto+Q, just go for all-ins against him, and you'll destroy him. At level 1 if you can try to cheese him on a bush or something.”
The Rock Titan says “"[Comet Q > E] - You can try to kill him as best as you can after 6.
- Avoid/dodge his stun combo, and try to get a few Qs on him without taking too much of his turret damage.
- All in him if he's at around 80% or less health and when you have some MR items. Last thing you want to do is happen is die when you you all.
- People who play Heimer are usually very confident in their abilities. Becareful!
- A good jungler will gank your lane"”
YasTilt says “You can dash on his Turrets so abuse of this. he is really Squichy and his R Enhanced Abilities can be blocked with your Wall. Laning Phase will be annoying because of his Poke. Try to pick fights when he don't have his Stun.”
AlanVenator says “There is not much you can do against Heimerdinger. Try to avoid poke and stay healthy. When asking for ganks, try to clear his turrets and minions as they will do a lot of damage.”
Fryx says “Pre 6 he will be super annoying so just take the farm you can get. Stay as healthy as possible! Once you are 6 just straight up ult him even full hp and use your full combo on him. After that try to run since he will use his ult. Once he is 30% hp he can not really stay in lane. Trust me it works every time. Sometimes you can even kill him like that.”
tibs2 says “Depression aids cancer bad match up. You just sit under tower and hope you flip the better team. Don't really have any useful tips for this match up other than don't try to trade with him ever.”
Ratakor says “Ranged, he hard push -> ez gank, his turrets hurt a lot, don't get poke and stay even in farm, you can kill him after first back by run on him and dodge his stun bomb”
a1a7s45 says “Heim's turrets are really oppressive once he gets Liandry's. I stay back and poke the turrets before killing him. Ignore them when going for all ins
Heim is barely a 5 but he's for most of the time because the amount of poke he has”
JeanMichelBambi says “Even if he isn't common, he's a pain to deal with, he deals lots of poke damage, and can hide behind his turrets to block any hooks you might be trying to throw at him.”
AmericanNut says “Your shield blocks his E, W, and turrets. Save your shield for when he ults as that is when he bursts his hardest. Do not walk into turret nest for any reason.”
Noodles912 says “Come on. Its Heimer. Spam pots and q lane and never engage. Keep your jungler away from your lane. You can freeze easily with how much damage his turrets do. Stay healthy, and recall if you are low. W can stop his stunning bomb and rocket barrage.”
Humitaxx says “Just try to freeze the wave and trade every now and then, whenever all of your abilities are up you can chase with Q and stun him with E, he can melt you but you can abuse his turret damage to get a charged W at him”
SanLourdes says “Another poke machine. He will try and establish lane dominance early. This is perfect since you usually freeze your waves in front of tower anyway. Your Q can be used at a range to take out his turrets, and your E can launch them out of positioning. Once you get a stun on him, you can finish him off easily. Respect his burst, it is more powerful than you think.”
PiscesPomf says “HARD LANE
Heimerdinger will easily poke you and if you go in, his nest of turrets will blow you up. Just stay safe, disguise yourself as a farmer, and wait until your jungle come to help you or wait until you can move out of your lane.”
Oskarl3 says “tough to fight early because he pushes you in non stop, but you can use your e to reposition his towers. goredrinker is good here to help you survive his prolonged damage”
SanLourdes says “I hate this matchup more than anything in the world. He is a poke machine with tons of CC and burst potential. Stay out of his way pre-level 6. Freeze the wave in front of your tower and let him push. Safely CS and when you have your ultimate, use Ghost, E , ult him and make him pay for all the pain he has caused. His turrets won't be there in your Death Realm to save his mustache. Other than that, play it safe and do not feed him. Respect his burst potential. Build Doran's Shield. Keep the rest of your normal build and buy Sorcerer's Shoes.”
negoZoma69 says “AP Neeko can't do much against heimer in lane, he will just get free movespeed from his passive and kite you. Just try your best to kill his turrets and bait his abilities to make him run out of mana. AD Neeko on other hand has a small window to kill him if you dodge his E.”
Draconic56 says “This matchup is going to be hell for you. For the first 5 levels, you just need to sit back and make sure not to take damage. If you can land a pull, your combo will do a lot of damage to him, as he is innately a squishy champion but trying to do so will leave you vulnerable. Just make sure you survive until level 6. Give up CS, conserve HP, and try to passively exist in your lane. On the bright side, your ultimate changes the entire dynamic. His turrets and etc won't be around to help him in the Death Realm. So look to Ult him either AS he throws out his stun grenade, or as he puts down his super turret with his ultimate. This way, you will cancel one of his major abilities which will allow you to just walk up and murder him with little resistance.”
SeptikYT says “Really annoying to lane against to the point it's near impossible to trade with him. To also mention he outscales you by a lot, so just dodge or ban this guy.”
Amvill says “He is the ideal in lane counter to singed after Rengar. He has the cc to lock you down, the turrets can completely push you away from your farm and usually kills you in a teamfight. Just dodge ;(
”
SanLourdes says “Heimerdinger will out-trade you in every way possible. Play defensive and ask your jungler for ganks. Take down his turrets whenever you can as it will be near impossible to survive in places where he has many of them. Don't take too much poke! He has great burst potential when you least expect it and his playstyle will soon have you tilted if you aren't careful. Don't take Doran's Blade into this matchup unless you want to lose the lane. Freeze the minion wave just before your tower range and farm safely. Allow him to play aggressive and when he overcommits punish him for it. Heimerdinger has everything he needs to counter you; poke, a stun to stop your initiations, high burst damage, decent health and range. I would say to definitely ban him, but his play rate is so low that its not practical. If you are matched up against a Heimerdinger its best to dodge. A five minute wait is better than the worst 15 minute forfeit game in your life.”
nichovsky says “what can i say exept its heimer. if you engage with ult he can stun you and ult then W or Q he can just run if he gets you stuned as well”
TwistedDemon says “You should beat him. Kill his turrets and don't let yourself be hit by his stun. Ask for ganks since he is very vulnerable, and easy to kill in a 2v1. After 6 it becomes a bit harder, just make him to waste his ult and you'll be fine.”
Runtley says “Heimerdinger is just annoying. You want to make sure you hit his turrets twice then the poison will take care of the rest. You can also throw your shrooms on your turrets if they are close enough to each other and get them all. I recommend you use aery so you can get a bunch of poke/ on hit damage.”
MrShykun says “MATCHUP DIFFICILE NE PRENEZ PAS TROP DE POKE COMMENCER BOUCLIER DE DORAN ET SECOND SOUFFLE AVEC LES BOTTES DE MERCURES SI VOUS VOUS ETES FAIT DEMOLIR PRENEZ MANTEAU DE NEGATRON ET FARMER VOUS POURREZ L'OUTSCALE SI IL NE RESPECTE PAS LES DISTANCES UTILISER VOTRE E ET POURSUIVEZ LE AVEC LE GHOST DEMANDER DE L'AIDE AU JUNGLE SI POSSIBLE PRENEZ CONQUEROR ET FORCER LES FIGHTS SI IL NA PAS DE TOURELLES AVEC L'ESTROPIEUR HEIMER EST UN FREE KILL. Un heimerdinger en lane ne va faire que vous poke prenez des items pour résister au poke les rocket font beaucoup de dégâts si il les touche toutes le start triple collier rafraichissant est envisageable le coté positif est qu'il va probablement vous push H24 il est donc ENORMEMENT vulnérable au ganks surtout que si il s'approche trop vous pourrez tout simplement lui courir dessus je recommande de rush la ténacité et des mercures si il vous défonce prenez manteau de negatron . Point positif vous allez l'outscale en 1v1 puisque vous pourrez le tanker donc si vous ne mourrez pas et farmer il deviendra un free kill pour vous de plus il est assez facile de détruire ses tourelles avec le Q et le W.”
A55AILANT says “Super annoying to play against.
Just farmup and sidelane, after first tower drops.
He shouldn't match you in the sidelanes.
Don't ask for ganks in lower elos, as it may result in the undesired result.”
Alan234 says “Any rune is fine. Aery with 3 points in q is probably best
Dont waste too much time attacking the towers, but do attack them. He can replenish them but its good to keep up pressure in lane. Its mostly a farm lane where it depends if he lands skillshots or if you dodge and q poke him down. Usually noone can kill anyone and you both just force each other to back and lose cs/platings ”
Rime101 says “Ignite + electrocute + dorans shield
Max Q
Look to safe farm until 6 where you have strong all-in potential
Kill turrets with Q if possible to attack his mana pool, also free gold
Ignite can be good for stronger all-in”
Erenando says “Uninstall.
No seriously you'll have a very hard time at stacking since he can kill you under your own tower. You must manage to survive the lane until you got spirit visage, mercury's and of course sheen to fight him of, but until then you're basically fucked without your jungler.”
sock217 says “Very very VERY obnoxious. Rarely played, but hurts when you have to lane against him. His turrets will drain your meeps constantly, just camp turret as much as possible. Your Ult can freeze his, so if you manage to freeze him AND his ult, try as HARD as you can to stun him, Late game you are tanky enough to ignore turrets.”
GrGamingTeo says “All you need to do against Heimerdinger is dodge his grenade and don't stand near him if your lane looks like a military base. You can rush Mercury's Treads if it makes sence for the enemy team or Hexdrinker.”
Gordusko says “Heimerdinger is a true lane bully. Laning against this fella is just a pain. You gotta keep destroying his turrets and try to stay healthy. Try to give him some damage if possible with your Q+E combo and wait for him to make mistake. And pray :) ”
LunaticDancer says “I might be an idiot, but this guy always absolutely beats me in top lane (at least last season). You need MR. You need to never get hit by his stun grenade. You need to destroy his turrets immediately before he can create a formation with them. Be careful of him setting up his ult turret and then using Zhonya's.”
tasie456s says “Turrets are annoying, but if he groups them up too much, you can combo them all together. He helps you to waveclear, so look to constantly shove and roam with your jungler. ”
Ravenborne says “Mandatory to get 3 Rejuv Bead as Start. Simply can not touch him. If he gets close to Tower however you can run him down with Ghost because your Damage is far greater than his. Just be sure to not let his Stun Grenade hit you at his turrets because he will then be able to finish you off.”
SpyDaFX says “try to kill at level 2/3. dont trade with him when his machines are nearby, ask for ganks, a skill matchup (he needs to land his stuff, if he doesn't it's a free lane for you after level 2/3 if you get a lead especially). go press the attack.”
mobsterplatypus says “The poke is very annoying here, but once you reach level 6, go all in, wait for him to use his ultimate (usually on the turret) then use yours. His turrets can follow him to the realm of death, and if he already used his stun its pretty much over for him. Run riftmaker to help with the poke.”
Kil4fun says “Play passive until you get 6. He hurts a lot but if you don't tank abilities you can just sit behind minions and wait out the rocket attacks. Besides that his turrets have more range/same range until level 16 where you can take them for free.”
wff010 says “EXTREMELY cringe lane. I developed a very specific playstyle for this lane. I run exhaust, nimbus cloak and transcendence. Why? He can burst you down 100-0 as soon as he stuns you or poke you to death under his tower. So, whenever you have exhaust, run at him with everything you've got, exhaust him when he throws out his stun, and then kill him ASAP. This will likely be happening under your tower a lot since heim permapushes. So, ask for plenty of ganks.”
Devilofthewest says “A good heimer dinger will wreck your shit . There are too many instances where you will need your E and it is very easy for them to force you to use it. Most likely you will get stuck trying to farm with your long range Q because if he stuns you when you try to last hit CS then his turrets will kill you ... and once he hits lvl 6 jumping on him will be suicide unless you have your E up and ready (this is a champ where EMPOWERED E actually is very useful so that you can block his whole ult or enough of it to get away ) This all being said IF you can burst him dead with your combo + ignite you can win but it is still HIGH risk . The only real thing you can do is take advantage of his lack of escapes , let him push up , try to get him to burn his ult and ping your jungler for assistence (also one final note for anyone unaware , his ult tower stays up if he dies , so if you burst him there is a high chance his ult will still kill you )”
ModelitoTime says “Although Heimer top is not too common it is still a thing. Take MR runes and take a Doran's Shield with you. Heimer is a lane bully and can push lanes really fast with his turrets. Although they look small they make this matchup dangerous. Never try to hit Heimer with your W unless you have already landed your Q or a E on him. I say this because your W will always try to hit his turrets rather than him because they are closer to you. I recommend trying to land a Q from far range then just E+Flash into him, he is really squishy so as soon as you land a E on him 9 times out of 10 he is dead. That is your best bet at securing a kill in this matchup. If you see that she rushes Zhonyas that will make this matchup really tough because he will just Zhonya and let his turrets do the work for him. If your E is up again time it right so that you can hit him with it as soon as his hourlglass is over. Other than that you scale over Heimer extremely. Righteous Glory later in the game could also help if he is being obnoxious.”
WookieChewbacca says “Proxy when able. You can dive Heimerdinger only if you have a vast speed advantage at level 6. If the lane is pushed, you can fling him towards the enemy side of the map, away from his turrets.”
xxskipskipxx says “Farm Lane ~
Dodge his Abilities and dont force trades!
if he misses his Stun (E) you can look in to trade him, BUT make sure you dont stand in the range of ALL 3 Turrets of Heimer!!
Let him push and ask for Jungle help”
LoLReal says “Heimer is hard for us. Punishes us hard early game and isn't very easy to kill. Also difficult to gank. Build an early spectre's cowl in this lane and farm. Mordekaiser can be more useful in team fights so be patient. Heimer builds early zhonya's so he can also be tricky to kill inside of our R. Punish him before he finishes zhonya's post 6.”
lulw says “Cancer champion but you can windwall basically anything he does. Dash to him windwall stun and then just kill him because of his squishiness. ”
RedNBlue says “Easy kill, just make sure to shoot his turrets and dodge his stun with your e and double shot him. Hes too short range to fight you without his turrets.”
EU_Toxicity says “Very rough for most immoblie melees including Darius. I'd buy 3x Rejuv Beads as you can keep one and buy adaptive helm later. You do have a chance to all-in him before 6 by dodging/flashing his grenade and running him down with ghost . If the grenade hit you just back off as he will surely outdamage you.”
iZeal says “Another difficult matchup as Heimer will permapush you into tower trying to harass you while you will have problems farming and destroying his turrets. If he catches you with a stun, you die after level 6. Try to kill his turrets while dodging his E and W before going in or bait out his ultimate for a gank so he can't 2v1 you and your jungler.
RejuBeads>DShield, Merc Treads, Specter's Cowl or Hexdrinker if struggling”
byThiagus says “UNA LINEA INFERNAL, Recomiendo segunda pagina de runas, escudo de doran y ghost. Farmear Hasta un gank de tu jungler O que utilize mal su e SINO NO PODES ENTRARLE.”
StrikeX114 says “Heimerdinger's turrets can often be one- or two-tapped by most champions. Yuumi is not in said majority. Build a Stinger early to destroy his turrets faster, because he can otherwise keep you at a distance for the entire game.”
hiugnadie says “He is a complete lane bully, luckily he doesn't top very much. If you do go against him, though, the rule is you win fights outside of turret range, he wins them inside. try to freeze early and just farm, you outscale him. also if your jungler ganks early and you kill him, then try to shove as hard as you can and kill all of his turrets, and then you have a chance of winning lane against him.”
Saarlichenbog says “Heimerdinger loves to bait you into his turret setup which is his primary form of DPS. There are several phases to the lane to ensure he doesn't take over which can be done pretty easily if managed correctly. Removing his turrets upon placement is crucial as he has a small delay between placing each new turret this being your time to full combo him. Once he hits level 6, there's always the threat of him double-casting which is why at this point you should start playing more defensively for items. Finally, when he hits Zhonyas it becomes incredibly dangerous to try and solo kill him but he will more often then not be pinned to one lane which means you can then translate your lead into more map impact.”
Captain Dantems says “Tome cuidado com as torrezinhas dele, pokea ele com seu Q e barril, uma hora da para matar ele. Grasp. Dá para usar poção corrupta, anel de Doran e Cristal de safira com 3 poções.”
ItsPaulygon says “Don't even try to trade with him. He can just stun you and let his turrets do all the work for him. Play safe, take Doran's shield and take all the cs you can. Only engage if you have your jungler with you. But be careful, as he can still deal with both of you.”
TheMightyNinja says “He will push you constantly wich makes him vulnerable to ganks.
Your W can block his turrets shots.
Try to stay healthy, dodge his skills and farm as much as you can safely, you become more impacful than him later in the game with your ultimate. I would recommend the Fleet Footwork build in this matchup”
MrGasYourGirl says “He's the 11/10. You gotta deep proxy behind the second tower and prepare to get blasted in the ass if he catches you. He's a very naughty yordle.”
Frostyfps says “Can be troubling if he lands his combo on you but it is fairly easy to avoid everything he throws at you. Start with Q and look to build your passive/be aggressive early on. If you land your E at level 2 it is a guaranteed flash or kill from him depending on how hard you chunk him. You can be extremely aggressive against him just make sure to be aware of ganks. Post 6 it is crucial to avoid his combo as he can easily do 80%+ of your hp in a second or two if you get hit by his combo. Avoid his combo and you are golden in all ins.
”
TangoVallhala says “try killing him early on when he is no escape or damage, later on wait for 6, watch out for his E Cooldown. Also go hex drinker rush.”
qasddsa says “Be careful of his rockets and stun grenade. He'll be constantly pushing the wave, so ask your jungler for a gank. Try your best to not fight in his turrets, as their damage starts to ramp up as you get closer to level 6. In teamfights, do not fight in his cannons; make sure to clear them. You do not want to get caught by his stun grenade.”
ERNESTSAURUS says “FLEET FOOTWORK / SPELLBOOK SETUP - DORANS SHIELD / 3 REJUVENATION BEADS + POT =
Heimer is a really inmobile champion but he can use that to his advantages with his torrets. In this lane he will always permapush since his torrets will automatically autoattack you, but you have to play it safe enough to not get poked, once the wave starts pushing back you can kill the torrets with your minion wave and then look to waste his mana like that. Fleet in this lane is really good but if you feel confident you can try to go for Spellbook. if he can't get an advantage in this lane, later on you will beat him 1v1. Look to setup a splitpush situation where he has to match you and look to all in him when he hasn't placed his torrets yet, the torrets are his main source of damage, without them he is super squishy. Remember you can stack his torrets with Q.”
SubHuman Filth says “Go for aery and 3 points in q from early game.
Shroom his turrets. and only poke with q.
Dont get hit by his E, then you will die very quickly.”
Grayified says “Fleet Footwork Runes and Build. Ignite + Flash. Dorans shield start. Head to lane at the very start of the game and make sure heimer doesnt set up his turrets in lane, and also make sure he doesnt cheese your jungle buff level 1 either. Merc treads can help in this matchup or you can take tenacity on your runes If you are able to consistently take out heimer's turrets in the early game and not allow him to have 3 up at one time you can outsustain heimer's auto's and get very good early pressure on him. If you let him get his turrets down then he will be able to pressure you and shove you under turret and deny you CS. Post 6 you can look for allins on heimer however you need full fury and close to full hp to look for it, also you need to take out heimer's turrets before going after him or else he will burst you very quickly and kite around his turrets while you are ulting. Once you get about 2-3 items you can start beating heimer even when he has full turrets and cooldowns ready, still a good idea to take out his turrets early though so he doesnt have the burst of damage for after your ulti is over. In the mid-late game split push, if you don't think you can dive heimer then look to push him in and use your superior mobility to outrotate him on the map and potentially flank his team while he is holding the wave.”
Nabura says “Take fleet. Put on your dancing shoes and bait his abilities for the entire laning phase, some people hate this matchup but I personally find it fun as they usually constantly miss their abilities and slowly lose control of the lane. Just be careful of TPing back to lane, going for greedy last hits and bushes, as these moments CAN GET YOU KILLED.”
EntxRecoil says “Fleet Footwork Runes and Build. Ignite + Flash. Dorans shield start.

ZergDood says “He needs one stun to win the trade (and he'll manage to do so!). He'll push the lane, focus on farming and punish positioning. Be careful when he isn't around, push your wave. You won't enjoy this matchup.”
Ayanleh says “He's pretty stronger than you early on but hes pretty squishy so get lv6 and take him to the shadow realm and kill him there as it removes his turrets.”
HIGH TEST TOP88 says “Haven't played this matchup that much, but heimers damage and waveclear is strong, you should be able to kill him if you get in however and you want to ult away from turrets during an allin if possible.
Take MR.”
wallobear53 says “Heimerdinger will attempt to shove you in while simultaneously trying to poke you. Destroy his Q with your AOE abilities while simultaneously clearing the wave. This will help you match his pushing power and will keep you even in the lane.
Avoiding Heimerdinger’s E should be your top priority, no matter which lane you belong to. That ability when paired with his Q turrets can destroy your health bar and kill you immediately if you don’t have resistances.
While CS’ing, make sure you don’t get hit by his W as it will give him a push as well as a trade advantage. Make sure you don’t let him shove you into your tower, or else he will just siege you under his tower or roam around the map and get leads elsewhere.
”
laoshin3v3 says “You can clear his towers with your E, and they take damage if they stay near enough to minions. Just Farm up no reason to fight him without jungler.”
9690 says “D-Blade. Use his turrets as mobility against him. He will poke you a bit but it won't be enough to force you out of lane, especially if you can keep the pressure up on him. You should always have lane priority in this matchup. Outscales you. Take Fleet or Conq (Depends on team comp).”

BloodyDream81 says “Comme pour GP, le niveau de menace réel est plutôt autour de 4, mais il te faut de l'expérience sur Darius pour ça, dans un premier temps évite absolument ce match up, et considère le comme affronter Cassiopeia, un enfer ! Je vais quand même te donner quelques astuce qui rendront ça un peu plus viable.
Premièrement, prend "Second souffle" pour la regen vie quand tu te fais poke, deuxièmement prend note du placement de ses tourelles, et essaie de toutes les toucher avec ton A pour les détruire rapidement, ensuite, le E de heimerdinger (sa grenade) et son sort le plus dangereux, si tu parviens à l'éviter, non seulement tu ne seras pas Stun mais en plus les tourelles n'utiliseront pas leur attaque spécial sur toi. Si il utilise mal on E, utilise tout de suite fantôme et court lui dessus, en réussissant ton A tu le tuera à coup sur, n'oublie pas de t'éloigner des tourelles une fois qu'il est mort car elle continue à jouer pendant 4 secondes après sa mort.
Astuce : Des bottes de mercure, un phage et l'aide de ton jungle sont les seul moyen d'espérer faire quelque chose ! Bon courage, et reste forte !”
Dantheman81 says “Heimer isn't really played very much but if he is all you have to do is q the turrets and they die. Without his turrets he lacks any damage to kill you throughout the game.”
Xplor says “Heimerdinger is not a threat unless you go all-in when he has his turrets down.
He will control the wave, you will do the same. Farm out of his range and poke with your Mists and "E" as much as possible. Do not engage on him unless you are confident you can take him down.”
DirtyDishSoap says “His turrets don't outright kill your Ghouls, and he'll likely die by them if you land an E. Every Heim will push but it's incredibly important to bear in mind that 1. He'll be fast, 2. He can stun and kill you if you're not careful, and 3. Your jungler will almost always F it up and feed him.
Tell your jungler to not gank. Seriously. I call it "The Curse of the Donger". where your jungler suffers a seizure and they just fly in half health and die to this midget.
With that being said, Heim takes practice to beat, but once you nail it down, he's super easy.”
TentiTiger11 says “By far the biggest problem to garen. This matchup is just straight up horrible. Heimer has great poke, high damage, and lane control with his turrets. Even with this build, he will still deny you so much gold and exp. If he poke you down, he can tower dive with his jungler. Avoid at ALL COSTS. Maybe ask your mid to lane swap at the beginning if they are ok with it.”
report singed ty says “You lose this lane and there's nothing you can do. Luckily for you, it's likely you'll never even have to fight this matchup. If you ever see him just dodge. He's probably the one matchup I always recommend dodging on. Your winrate vs him is something like only a 30% chance last I checked, it's crazy bad and it's not a matchup you can try and outskill your opponent in either.”
Sq_09 says “You can't engage him but if he doesn't place offensive turrets you can try and poke him a bit. Just don't walk into his stuff and he's a chill lane, that you just need to counterpush. If you take some damage he can W you but you can take the damage. ”
Beatport Expo says “Haven't fought him yet but based on experience, you're gonna have either swallow one of his turrets and throw it away from you and NOT directly onto Heimerdinger If your W doesn't kill the turret. This of course, cost you some damage and you won't be able to bring him away from his Tower since you used your W on his turret. ”
SirDrPotato says “A very very hard lane. The only reason why I do not put heimerdinger up in "Extreme" is because you are way better than him later in the game. However, laning phase is a nightmare. Buy doran's shield or corrupting potion and stay under turret, farm the best you can and do not try anything risky. Sometimes it might sound like you have a nice opening to engange him but trust me: You don't. Also, there are very few junglers that can help you, most often than not heimer will just kill you and your jungler, however, there are a few mid laners that might: If your mid laner is ahead and has burst - talon, fizz, diana - you can ask them for some help, be aware that heimer might kill both of you and if your mid laner denies to help you that's a very wise choice. Stay calm, you scale better.”
Subject3 says “stay under tower, stay under tower... stay under tower, look your skills can only target one thing, if he hides behind his turrets your q does nothing, if you try and swallow his turrets you will get nothing out of it, he has more.
if you try and swallow him! look at him go at mach speed around his turrets and you barely able to stack at him, and then die.”
Discord Rengar Mains says “Frustrating, like most yordle matchups. He will basically try to either turtle with his turrets or push like a maniac and keep you under your own turret, which is bad because you need bushes to have any pressure on him, and if he gets to scale he can be terrifying. Lane is fairly even otherwise, he is very squishy early and if you get a lead on him he either rushes Zhonyas or keeps dying without jungler assistance, both of which will set him back significantly. Try killing his turrets as soon as they spawn with a Leap + Q, they will reduce his pressure significantly and give you an opening, but respect his E+W damage or you might find yourself losing the trade if you don't have Emp W at the ready. At level 6 his ult will make directly jumping into him a really bad idea unless you are already ahead, so try playing carefully around it and don't be afraid to ask for jungle assistance to secure the lead. All in all, manageable lane where you can just crush the game if you get ahead and just farm if you are behind.
Ignite is good for early game pressure, specially since he is squishy. Fleet and HoB both work well enough, conqueror is an option too but he is very squishy and you don't really want / need long trades on him.”
Itreallyhim says “Annoying, But grab him with E, Q and then back off, use your W after his E or his W hits you.
Just a patience matchup. Stay strong in your mental and wreck his buildings.”
Rivenetto says “He isnt doing great in meta so hes not playable at top(thanks god) but hes an extreme threat to Riven.Try to fight him only if his E is on cooldown and if he dont have stopwatch/zhonyas.”
hephephepeEPEPE says “i awlays dodge this matchup because its impossibile to be on lane rush mercs and proxy if you want to beat him later on in game make sure to buy adaptive helm and hextech protobelt to kil his turrets
”
Thr3shPrinc3 says “Neither one of you will really "win" this lane. Heimer doesn't have kill pressure on you unless you engage him in his turrets and you can sustain through his poke using Fleet Footwork. Try and shove your minion wave and roam into the enemy jungle or down to midlane. If you get a lead you can kill him in about 4 charged auto's once you have Stormrazor and Rapid Firecannon so if you do get a lead make sure you push it. Late game you can 1v1 him and most likely kill him before he really gets chance to do anything else.”
Blakespeare says “the poke is hard practice wave control and before engages you want to focus down the turrets taking his damage source away, This is a cull match up unless you are not confident in your side step ability then you want to take dorans shield.”
spaceriftmaster says “Heimer is actually pretty easy. Pre six he's very difficult to fight. But when you use death realm his turrets don't follow him into the death realm giving you a free kill even if he stopwatch's or uses hourglass.”
Braddik says “There's a small window lvl 2-3 where you can all in him if you set your wave up properly. Kill him twice and you'll kill him forever. Rushing mercs can be good here. If he gets to level 6 uncontested you lose.”
Trial_By_Barrel says “Basically an annoying match up. He makes his lane a military base and presses one button while his army of turrets melts your health bar. You also can't engage him since his turrets take zero damage and he can just stopwatch or hourglass and lets his turrets do all the work.”
Pedrokis says “Bonecão esse hein. / Poke ridículo com todas as skills e muito dano por segundo caso você vá pra cima e ele tiver torres, stun, Q e muitos minions perto dele. / Espera ele ficar mal posicionado e tiver sem Zhonya's ou cronômetro, daí você ganha facilmente.”
The Lost Drawing says “Es otro counter.
Especialista en bajar tanques con un solo objeto. Solo juega pasivo y armate 'Yelmo adaptable' despues tiene mejores TF fuera de sus torretitas”
TheRevenantsHand says “If this guy is patient, he can be quite a bump in the road. Just like other "spawnable" ults, wait for him to use his first. But beware, good players will wait for your ult first.”
Split King says “There is not much counter play for Shen in this lane. Do not fight him unless he is really bad. Focus on farming and staying alive. Rush Spectre's Cowl and Merc treads.”
JPlayah16 says “He isn't a huge threat to your existence, but you'll never get a kill on him unless you get seriously fed elsewhere first. Don't engage him during the laning phase and play defensively. Watch out for his stun grenade when you run up to last hit minions.”
Valorkyrie Quinn says “He has strong waveclear and poke. He is annoying especially after he builds Rylai's.
Tip: Beat him before 6. Destroy his turrets first. You can dodge his E with your E dash.
Bring Phase Rush and Nullifying Orb against him to avoid slow by Rylai's and his AP damage. If you are still struggling, you can consider buying Boots of Swiftness to negate slow.”
BeautifulWinter says “You will lose this lane. If you play other champions do not play illaoi into Heimerdinger.
Post 6 only play agro if you land E and can flash ult on top of him.
If the heimerdinger is bad you might be able to kill him with Youmuu's however I recommend building whatever will help your team more in team fights.”
Big Belly Bop says “He will be constantly pushing and ganks will be nearly impossible unless you have a jungler that can follow up and do damage. Ask for ganks and TRY to stay even in farm. Look for good ults across the map and roam mid if possible to gain a gold lead. You will out-scale him with items. Flash + TP, Corrupting Potion, Burst rune page.”
3rr0rL says “His spam of Q is very annoying. To win lane you need to wait the perfect moment to flash into him and kill him. If you lost a lot of farm and gave him couple kills, ask your jungler to help you.”
9690 says “Heimer is hard for us. Punishes us hard early game and isn't very easy to kill. Also difficult to gank. Build an early spectre's cowl in this lane and farm. Mordekaiser can be more useful in team fights so be patient. Heimer builds early zhonya's so he can also be tricky to kill inside of our R. Punish him before he finishes zhonya's post 6.”
Defensivity1 says “Be carefull to not get poked down too much by heimerdinger, if at level 4 or 5 you have 30% health or lower just teleport back to lane afther basing and buy yourselve a null magic mantle, against heimerdinger the conqueror page is recommanded.”
mightydylan101 says “Heimer is a counter as hes ranged and his turrets do a lot of damage to you even early. His turrets can also CS for him and he scales bad.”
ThisIsJustSad says “1, Heimer is only annoying if he manages to setup his turrets. You need to always be ready to trade your hp bar to make sure he never gets a single turret up. Use auto-q on each turret and the E auto reset + crit to get rid of the turrets.
2. If Heimer doesn't have turrets, he auto loses.
3. Heimer will naturally push the wave due to the turrets he places down. Kill them, then freeze the wave, then run heimer down.
4. You don't need to w Heimer Stun, you just need to W Heimer to slow him down. You can use your q at max range to give you more wiggle room to dodge Heimer stun.”
NasusIsMyBoy says “His little robot things are great at denying farm and poking whenever you get close, however you can stack them but you should watch out for the orb thing he throws as all of the others will target you”
Nightblue33 says “Try To Damage his cannons because if he out of it he will be easier to kill him and also he is a bad counter just go E and the Q and E again ”
Hamstertamer says “Boring. Just farm under tower for 10 minutes, and rush adaptive helm + merc treads so you can kick his ass later. Punish him with E if he tries to slowly chip at your tower.”
SummonedLight says “Good heimerdinger will just set up in lane and push slowly to your tower and tower dive with his turrets to out proxy you. Just go double proxy if that happens.”
HKRV says “Dodge. Seriously you can't do much in his early game. Even bigger bully than Teemo. Ask the jungler to babysit. Be on the move always, as staying still here is more of a death sentence. ”
Poppu says “Build MR, Adaptive Helm, play with your team and snowball them instead. Heim will just hard push and deny CS, really annoying lane to deal with.”
Shady Zane says “Heimer ze crazy yordle.. Great, here we go again with this.
Anyways, playing against heimer can get quite difficult cause of his turrets. SO you have to think before you strike and try to avoid his E. (Can't give much advice even tho I've played as/vs him in top)”
Petethebossch says “Just farm under tower until Heimerdinger makes a mistake or gets ganked. If not you will be able to kill him level 11ish if you haven't fallen behind.”
Jnewbringspain says “One of the hardest matchups. Don't try to solo fight him until late game. Ask for ganks in pregame as you will need them. His turrets make trading with him at close range impossible.”
Zestysquid says “Dinger is bad news. He will not engage on you and will kick you under your turret. His turrets have more health than your boxes and don't expire, but they don't do as much damage. Try to get your protobelt fast to keep up with his pushing. Roam as much as you can afford to in order to get ahead.”
M2 Jizu says “Juega pasivo y espera al gank del jungla, necesitas saber jugar muy bien para que no se te complique este Matchup, si eres Platino 4+ me imagino que tienes una idea de como jugarle a Heimer y como matarlo siendo Shen, si eres Platino 4- juega pasivo y espera el gank de tu jungla. necesitarás sustain.”
Onwego317 says “As a too hit Teemo Heimer can be a pain early. Make sure to get his turrets down as fast as you can. Knowing he will out cs you early lane phase is fine. BePatient and you will come out of the lane ahead on cs and the tower take down. Hurricane will change the lane once acquired for sure. Place plenty of wards around tribush and in the river. When Heimer backs to upgrade is when you take your stabs at the tower. It will be a slow lane as your jungler may be hesitant to gank due to his abilities and turrets. LVL 6 also changes the lane significantly in your favor.”
RainbowNova says “I literally haven't seen this guy all year besides in ARAM. I have no clue how he would fare against Tankmo, but I'd imagine that Tankmo could tank most damage with Adaptive Helm. ”
DrMoneybags says “This matchup is very annoying for any melee toplaner. Heimer is a burst mage that excels against low-range champs. His turrets cost very little mana and he can constantly shove you in if you don't have tiamat, which will let him poke you a ton.
Be careful when you engage on him with E, he can retaliate with his stun and that'll blast you with his turrets. Wait until he throws his stun grenade and then dive onto him. He gets enhanced movement speed around turrets, so landing your Q can be a bit tricky as well. Once he has Zhonyas it's pretty hard to beat him without a lot of MR since he can use his enlarged turret while he's in stasis to chunk you out. ”
Qubert64 says “Not very common matchup. Haven't played him enough to really give any tips on fighting him. Probably just sit under turret with an adaptive helm.”
Zdenster says “You don't get poked out. Take Arcane Comet. Don't fight him when all of his turrets are up. Use W to destroy them. Rush Sheen or Merc's Treads.”
Carlosm04 says “Rei mendigo e suas torres, krai esse bixo me dar uma raiva, tenta pedir ajudar do jg ou bate algumas torrinhas pra ele ficar desvantagem , n seja atingido pelo E dele, se nao as torres vao dar o dano do cacete”
nuken507 says “this little dude can do a lot of damage at range, vi has a very short range meaning that he can eat half your health before you even touch him”
E61K says “Start Doran's Shield and take Second wind + Conqueror. Heimerdinger has always been frustrating to play against as an immobile melee champion. The best approach to this would be rushing Specter's Cowl and then destroying his Turrets with Q's or a quick AA+W and then all-inning him when he has little to no turrets placed. Stacked turrets into a grenade can easily chunk you so hard that you need to cower behind your turret or need to recall. Other than that if you can't cope with him his pushing nature opens him up for a nice gank. Just play it smart so you and your jungler don't get double killed.”
SwiftOblivion says “Strengths: Consistent damage from turrets, Hard to Dive, AP, CC. Weaknesses: Low Mobility, Squishy. He'll be trying to poke you down heavily early game so build a hexdrinker against this guy and after you gain a few levels start trying to remove his turrets to mitigate his potential damage output. You will eventually outscale him and deal enough damage to kill him in a 1v1 so play the waiting game and don't give him a huge lead. Once you have hexdrinker, you should be able to all in him once he is either low on mana or is on cooldowns. That is your chance to punish him and gain the lead that you need in the lane. Don’t be surprised if you have to give up your tower early, that’s just how the matchup can turn out a lot of the time.”
Sion says “Post level 6 you win any and all trades as long as you E his ulted turret away and/or dodge his stun. Play around E max 2nd cause it's mandatory in this matchup. You will outpush and outroam him post 6.”
shlemvem says “Playing against a good heimerdinger with singed is one of the hardest things in matchups with singed. You can't engage, you can't farm, proxying is hard, etc.”
POTATOBEAVER says “Your kit cant really do much as Heimerdinger uses turrets mainly and not auto attacks, not much u can do before 6, try and get youur jg to early gank”
Zahkar00 says “Take Glacial.
Honestly this is just a cancer lane. But he isnt hard to kill. Once you get negtron and sheen you can just run up and kill him if his minion wave isnt to big. But realistically he will be outpoking you so you may have to rely on your jng'er”
Bakiraka says “Really not bad. Let him push you in and you'll outscale him pretty handily. Your barrels can also make short work of his turrets. Just forget about poking him.”
Trixelkour says “Almost a tier 5 threat, but winnable if you can stay safe and juke his stuns in lane. Take exhaust and ignite if you want an easy early game kill. Runes are pretty wide for Heimer since a lot of them can be useful against him. Get plenty of MR and you can win anytime anywhere. ”
E61K says “Yasuo is probably Heimerdinger's greatest counter. Heimer is basically like Orianna except that it's mostly the turrets which make Heimer the champion he is. The thing is that you are resourceless and can one-shot his turrets with EQ at level 2 or just use them to gapclose. After you are on top of him you can either windwall his stun or dodge it with your E and then he will be helpless. ”
undeadsoldiers says “Lane Aproach: Farm safely, you can all in when he has no turrets.
Key CDs:R
Notes: You can easily 100-0 him with triforce, Q reset on turrets.”
Mouadyam says “boring lane, you will die if you try to kill him inside of his towers so just farm boringly and abide by this veery fun champion's rules, kill the little furry if he gets too close though, an early spectre's cowbl can help with his poke.”
Demon Lord AC0 says “Trying my best not to insult this guy... You can move around him and dodge or windwall his abilities pretty easily. But he still does a lot of damage when you least expect it. Against him you start Doran's Shield and rush Merc and PD”
FIux says “Heimerdinger makes using your E hard since he would have turrets awaiting you. In this case, you would want to use Q to destroy his turrets. Only use E to engage when he has his skills on cooldown and you are out of range from his turrets.”
iam colorblind says “Very hard to play against.
You can't farm in early game and he poke's u very fast down.
Buy Hextrinker and try to cheese him!
Don't go on him in early game or you will be dead.”
CaioOP1985 says “His turrets are annoying and hurt a lot earlier into the game, but they are also a juicy source of stacks for your Q, so enjoy it while watching out for missiles and grenades.”
Ashnard says “Heimer has a lot of damage and lane control due to his turrets, but you can easily kill them with 1q + auto when u get the chance. Be careful of his stun grenade, it will chunk you pretty hard if it hits in middle of his turrets.”
DERPFISHrejects says “Your Q can quite reliably kill turrets in the later stages of the game. He's still going to bully you early, but you can win trades if you can bait the grenade out or have taken down some of his turrets.”
Dacnomaniak says “This lane is not gonna be fun. The Constant turret pressure means you cant really go in early. But an Adaptive Helmet and it will make your life a lot easier.”
IllIlllIIlI says “This little fucking yordle manages to piss me off everytime, but still not an extremely difficult lane. You can often come out on top if you manage to out manouver his stun.”
galvapheonix says “ Heimer isn't really played very much but if he is all you have to do is q the turrets and they die. Without his turrets he lacks any damage to kill you throughout the game.”
DuhBrandon says “I know this a top guide but you have no idea how many people I've seen go heimerdinger top lane and crush me. Trust me its not fun. There is a high chance you will be behind on farm. if the heimerdinger gets ahead it will be near impossible to catch up so your best bet is to all in when you can and abuse your shroud.”
Nechu2448 says “He is annoying so much. Heimer can build sentries you can go past them or anything . you can try destroy but aslo heimer is danger , he throw at you grande and turrets start attacking you. To defet him you need jungler help
”
thedunkening111 says “The 'you're not going to do anything' lane. What can I say. The good thing is you got tons of lock down, so ganking the guy isn't totally out of the question.
Take Aftershock”

Tips Against Heimerdinger in the Jungle Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
Suseri says “Just farm don't fight get more points in W to sustain in lane if he pokes you under your turret. It's winable but not worth the effort and risk since he can just wait for your Q stun you to the place and let his turrets kill you while keeping his distance again.”
temple1997 says “Heimerdinger can use his turrets, stun and ult to burst you before you can even reach him - and even then, if you catch him his turrets and ult will probably kill you before you kill him or after.”
SoSheolH says “His damage doesn't come from him so hitting him won't do much. If you run into his turrets you'll get melted no matter what, and they'll pick off your carries even faster. Very dominant in lane and ungankable early, which is where you shine. Your W works on his turrets so you can at least stop their empowered attacks for a little bit, but they'll still attack you since it's just a taunt. Unless the player is really bad, you won't be able to gank this lane, at least not post-six.”
Aqua Dragon says “Poor turrets. They are surrounded by a never ending swarm of Voidlings, and the turrets themselves can be easily eliminated with some long-range Q's.”
RainbowFreeze says “Champs that set up in an area like Heimer and Illoai can be punished with barrels. You can also farm Heimer's turrets for Serpents when enemy minions are gone, which is neat. ”
Ardent Deceiver says “Ganking Heimer sucks because of his turrets, he can burst you down easily if you don't play smart and even kill you in death. Reccomend ganking behind to avoid turrets if possible.”
XERA 08 says “Along with Illoai, never gank his lane. Heimerdinger will stand in the middle of his three turrets E (stun) > W (rockets) > R (x3 empower) > Q (turrets) and you along with 2 other teammates that roam into his lane will be dead within 5 seconds. As long as Heimerdinger has 2 turrets next to him, you have to treat him as 2 champions worth of damage. Do not underestimate Heimerdinger during laning phase. However, during late game; when you see him spilting alone, this is the chance to strike. Simply E + Ghost > R > E > Q + W and fight him head on, as long as you can dodge his E stun, you have secured a 1v1 kill.”
Flashfire128 says “You will almost never be able to gank him. ivern has horrible turret clearing and he can make it hard to land your Q on him with his turrets.”
TheFalco62 says “The only way he can get a lead is if he gets to stack 3 turrets and push super fast. We can cheese him(before minions spawn) by waiting in a brush while he's stacking turrets and then take them down. Keep taking his turrets down when he's spawning them, and you will have no trouble in this matchup. Your windwall can block ALL his damage.”
