Heimerdinger Build Guide by JunSupport

Awesome build, definitely works. Heimer's rockets = beast

Hi! Ive rescently decided I was goimg to master the dinger. I'm wondering though, is the spellvamp neccisary? I bet it increases his lane duration a bit, but he doesnt get the vamp from his turrets. besides, his passive does a lot of regen. Maybe that slot can be put to better use

how about instead of soul shroud take Frozen Heart... it sinergizes with your arch angel and it gives an awsome aura in team fights..

@sweetlovin:

The spellvamp aura helps your team late game. If you check the "End Game Items: Alternatives" chapter, you'll see a few alternatives if you don't think it's needed.

@lovsin33:

If your tank doesn't have it, something's wrong. That item is mandatory on one bulky champion in every team comp nowadays.
You'd also be wasting 15% of the cooldown reduction.

I still believe turrets to be his coolest skill, but I will try that rocket stuff out, as they are very useful ;)
I'm glad, we prefer the same items... xD

I always start with a Doran's item with every laning char, rush tear, boots afterwards. Then farming for Rabadon's or upgrate ma boots. Spellvamp <3 and Rylai's after these. One slot left for... I don't really need more items xD

Ok, nice build, but I don't like supporting items AT ALL - except for Will of the Acients ;)

Oh and THANKS for mentioning Clearvoyance as a viable spell for Heimer, because my friends and I still argue, but this spell is one of the most useful, in my opinion, for e.g. as Heimer it grands you sight for aiming with your rockets, when your grenade isn't up.

GO, Heimer, cool boy, win this :)

Awesome build. I see your p.o.v. with the Rockets > Turrets, but I'm fond of the harassing effect and zoning capabilities of the turrets if i'm laning vs 2 melee champs and if I use my mana wisely, I enjoy the gameplay very much. If I meet any of the champs you mentioned that were tough - I go rockets ofc, you showed me the broadside there, thanks for that.

FYI I just noticed that the turrets benefit from spellvamp. At least I think so - with the silly small percentage of spellvamp in Utility, 2 turrets in a minion wave, sky rocketed my hp regen significantly.

Might be an idea for some fun builds :D

if someone heals near your turrets it heals them. just so u know the passive isnt the only way they heal.

Have you considered placing Nasus on the dangerous enemies list? He can farm his Q on Heimer's turrets, thus benefiting. Other than that, the guide looks good, although against an AD Heavy team, I'd recommend getting Frozen Heart as an aura item, for the extra armor and attack speed reduction.

I actually started and continue to play heimerdinger even in ranked ELO. I think he is a champion that takes alot of skill and brainpower to play correctly. I agree that he should not mid and be used as the AP carry of the team, his cooldowns, ult, rockets (that you cant aim properly), and his grenade, make him a better CLEANUP BATTER, when everybody is already in the fray, drop your turrets on the outside, activate your ulti, throw a grenade and hit Q... you will either kill most of the other team, or allow your teamates to escape (<-- SUPPORT).

The guide just needs to be updated for the new meta but otherwise still a great heimer guide.

+1 for making a guide that has endured the test of time.

Really love this build, I've been having to Mid as Heimy a lot and using your setup really gives me the dominance in the lane. My last match against an Annie, by the time I had to port back(for the first time), I was already level 11 and had 5k gold. Also with the build, wouldn't the CD Reduction actually be 15.9%-35.9%? Cause of Heim's Ult Passive and the 10% from mastery.
