Introduction


CH-1 Concussion Grenade
// Hi everyone! its MrBeat from mobafire (MrB34t). i decided to make a new user and start posting better / improved guides. This guide is all about

HEIMERDINGER!


So Heimerdinger is a champion in league of legends that uses turrets and throwable rockets and bombs to create madness in the fields of justice. Why Heimerdinger?? well he was the first champion that i bougth with rp and i tested the champion many times before i was level 30. i liked his playstyle and the strong laning phase against many played champions. So lets get to my guide... this guide is based on my information about heimerdinger and i recommend everyone to read this and decide is it good or not so grab a drink and start reading.

// Oh by the way thanks to this awesome person for a awesome guide how to write bbcode and guides! Credits to jhoijhoi for the Guide/template, which you can find here.

Champion Abilities!

Ability Explanation


CH-1 Concussion Grenade

  • Techmaturgical Repair Bots: // Not the gratest passive but if your turret is low on hp you can save your turret.
  • H-28G Evolution Turret (Q): // Heimerdingers bread and butter this is a beast ability. you can use this to farm. push lanes, jungle, counter-jungle, kill, poke and much more!
  • Hextech Micro-Rockets (W): // OMG WTF WAS THAT HEIMS DAMAGE?!?! Enemies will ask you that when you fire this with your granade. this is your main poke and killing tool. You can snipe people with this and it looks so stupid that its hilarius. Use this to poke and farm.
  • CH-1 Concussion Grenade Concussion Grenade (E): // This ability will shut down adc for few secs in teamfigths becouse it stuns and blinds the enemy. Use this to poke farm or run away from ganks.
  • UPGRADE!!! (R): // Not that good of an ultimate but it has its thing. And the thing is the heal and the slow. Pop this ultimate if your turrets get low on hp ore you just want to slow your enemies. and the ability upgrades are good too so its a grat ability to use in teamfigths.

Masteries, Runes & Summoner Spells!

Masteries



IMPORTANT MASTERIES EXPLAINED!

// Good mastery for any midlaner gives nice early cooldown reduction so you can spam your rockets!
// Great for any Ap champ. Penetration is great with heimerdinger so you can poke better.
// This Mastery is so ****ing good on heimer. your autoattacks will do so much damage late gam to turrets that you become a hyperpusher.
// your going to need this mastery! this will help you against those pesky poke matchups!
// this mastery is great becouse you will be picking barrier most of the time.

Runes



Runes

Precision
Fleet Footwork
Phase Rush


Summoner Spells



Flash: // Take flash becouse you dont have that great disengage. this will help you to stay alive.

Barrier: // Why barrier? you can duel early when you get your 2 turrets and bait your enemies to dive you or jump on you.

Cleanse: // This is a great summoner spell for heimerdinger becouse you want to stay alive in figths so if you get cc on your back just press d or f and run free.

Other Viable Summoner Spells



Teleport: // Heimerdinger gank incoming!! really good spell to clean up figths or gank!

Ghost: // This is another great spell for heimer. you can pop ghost and juke em at your turrets and get few kills with it.

Ignite: // take this if you want to secure kills or get first blood. or if the enemy team has hard lifesteal or mundo etc take this.

Mejai's Soulstealer 1600
Rabadon's Deathcap 3600
Athene's Unholy Grail 2250
Zhonya's Hourglass 3250
Deathfire Grasp 3100

// why well your ap and you need magic penetration. you can buy these later if you want but i like to take them early. see the situational item section for other boots

// why... well your in blind pick so why not. and your heimerdinger you get kills and your safe. DONT USE IN RANKED!

// well not a must buy for heimerdinger but still the best ap item in game. its the passive why you build this and the ap boost is nice too.

// Athenes is a great item overall but again the passive is the best. the ap is great. you can take this instead of mejais or archangels.

// The lategame life saver. the armguard is great to build early too so you can counter those annoying adcs and top laners.

// why dfg? well i have experiense with this item and its amazing with heimer! you come in to a lonely adc first put down turret the dfg and nade and rockets at the same time?!?!? = 1 stack for mejais.

Situational Items


Item Sequence

Archangel's Staff 2900
Banner of Command 2200
Morellonomicon 2200
Rylai's Crystal Scepter 2600
Void Staff 3000
Will of the Ancients 2300

// teake these boots if your going to play defensive! or your not building cdr items.

// Take this if your not building athenes or mejais. build tear early for maximum potential.

// my god this item is good on heimer. the passives are great with your passive and turrets. only if the ap was much larger then i would include it in the core build but the choice is yours.

// this item is another good replacer for the athenes. also you should build this if the enemy team has mundo or some crazy lifestealer like aatrox or tryndamere.

// build rylais if you are losing your lane really badly and your getting ganked. when you have your rylais they cant do a **** when they gank you becouse of the slow.

// I usually build this but i tried dfg and i liked it. i still build this if im kinda doing bad and i dont have that much gold to spend on dfg.

// this item is surprisingly good on heimerdinger. it gives you nice sustain in lane and in figths.

DONT BE AFRAID TO EXPERIENCE WITH YOUR OWN BUILDS!

Gameplay!

Gameplay


// Heimers laning phase is not the strongest but its surprisingly good. Why? well one answer.. turrets! Turrets will provide everything that you need. Defense, offense, poke, counterpoke, farm and kills.



Teamfights


// ok this thing is important!!!

LOOK AT THIS!

so now that i got your attention... i shall teach you about heimerdingers teamfigths. first if your with premades ask are we doing drag or baron! if yes go and place turrets to close bushes where the teamfigth can happen. When playing heimerdinger you allways need to think ahead of the enemy team.
