+1, please update your guide :) (and turn on comment to vote)

love this build! thanks man!!

I'll be the first to accept criticism and this is exactly what I'm looking for. A perfect example of assuming. I have read his ulti description a million times and my brain always assumed it's like most passive/active skills...you lose the passive upon activating. Many thanks Taumain for that pro-tip. I have adjusted my build accordingly and now I find room for that sweet, sweet Rabadon's Deathcap. I still find myself building Chalice of Harmony more often than not early game tho. +1 Rep Taumain.

I like the idea of starting by building into a philostone and I'll need to try that. The only thing that concerns me in your build is the amount of cdr you have. This build exceeds the 40% cap by more than any other build I have ever seen.

At level 1: 3% (Sorcery) + 6% (Intelligence) + 5.85% (runes) = 14.85% (note: thats pretty great)

At level 6: 14.85% + 10% (Ult) = 24.85%
If you manage to get blue buff that's another {16 + [.5*(6)]}% = 19%
24.85% + 19% = 43.85% already over the cdr cap at level 6. (If you can, get blue buff here)

At level 11: 29.85%
At level 11 blue buff gives: 16% + [.5*(11)] = 21.5% cdr
Thats now a total of: 51.35% cdr (At this point don't take blue buff, someone else will be able to use it better.)

At level 16+: 34.85% at all times with no cooldown items.
With the Evil Tome that becomes: 54.85% at all times
With the Evil Tome and blue buff that hits 79.85% cdr

Thats 39.85% cdr wasted if you get blue, but still 14.84% wasted at all times without it.


When I looked at your guide I realized you may be going over the cap because of a possible misconception on how Hiemer works.
In your guide you state
"....wait...you can't b/c you used your ulti and lost that CDR bonus..."
Heimer does not lose the passive bonus when using the active on his ult, that only happens on abilities where it states it does that in the description like Janna's Zephyr - "Janna loses the passive benefit while Zephyr is on cooldown".
(P.S. sorry if you already knew that)

Please don't get me wrong I like the guide just with Hiemer it is so easy to go way past the cdr limit of 40% as most heimers will get at least 29% by endgame with only himself and masteries, and I think you need to keep it a little more in mind.

Preach on good sir preach on.... Like how i didn't get a shout out, the turtle got like 9....

I do love the more damage oriented supports i.e. Lux, Morgana, and Heimerdinger. It gets easy to get too aggressive with these guys. Gotta play lots of games with them to learn when to back off the throttle.

+1 VERY NICE BUILD Heimer is way better this way

Looks like both of us dislike playing our characters the non-optimal way... I like =D

This guide makes me want to play Heimer, and that's a proof that it's good =)
(or maybe that I'm just addicted to aggressive supports. That's a possibility honestly)

Woah only most of your gold...not all.

Awesome Build, and thanks for the shout outs!

We all love your ding-ding, even if he does steal all of our gold :P
