I've seen this build in action, and I can tell you it's frighteningly effective. I know this is meant to be a solo/mid build, but I think this Heimerdinger makes an excellent supporting lane partner as well (almost always helping to pick up first blood).

A problem with a lot of Heimers is that they get so focused in pushing a lane that don't always participate in team fights. An early focus on grenades and rockets might not seem to push lanes as easily as a couple turrets, but consider this: over the past few months, his turret damage vs. towers was halfed, his grenades no longer damage turrets and he can only put down a maximum of two (rather than three). His sit-back-and-relax/trench warfare lane pushing abilities have been seriously nerfed. The damage and reliability of the rockets, on the other hand, is invaluable (especially in team fights) and a good blind grenade can shut down any melee/ranged carry even without a direct hit (and quite possibly several at a time). +1

well i tried it out and i think it works realy realy well

I really like your description, very will researched.

But, Heimerdinger's not very viable without his turret-creep advantage. You don't really give a suitable justification to not taking any turrets at all.

I think you have a point, but not getting upgrade is not a wise choice.

^_^

heimer needs the cd reduction.

I'm sorry you guys didn't take the time to try out the build, you can really only see its effectiveness then, same thing as Ezreal and going AD. Sure, AP boosts all 4 of his spells a lot, but AD is still viable when it only boosts one... you can't really believe it's viable until you see it.

And btw, extra HP on Heimerdinger is always viable, in fact...EVERY BUILD GETS HP FOR HIM, don't say you know how to play Heimerdinger and yet you disagree with every build there is for him :)

well over 50% of heims damage comes from his turrets
playing him as a nuker, and not a pusher as your suggesting is a waste of time, you might as well play someone thats meant to be a nuker

yes, it means your less mobile, but once you hit level 9 and get golem buff you become very mobile.

tbh, i think your build is bad.. it seems you put alot of effort which is good but heimer is a solo/pusher!!! not a spaming nuker....

1. turrets.... the thing makes heimer worth playing! the ultimate push tool and u dont get? it what makes heimer so deadly and OP

2. leave the hardcore magic to veiger and so on.. we are support not carry???
3. i see you getting alot of HP - hp is only worth massing if you have the armor/resistance to back it up.

i aplaud the effort but you got heimer all wrong bud :(
