Build Zhonya early. Punish for CSing in melee range! Tabis if a full AD team. Care for early roams.

How is it going guys! My name is Rezone and I'm a Master Tier Midlane main. I peaked at 270 LP Master Tier this Season and have 4.5 Million Mastery Points on ! I upload gameplays, guides, tips and pretty much any other League of Legends related content you could ever ask for!

I was the BEST HEIMERDINGER EUW in Season 7 and I'm best known for inventing the Holy Trinity of Tilt build on a couple of seasons ago (Banner of Command, ZZ'Rot Portal and Rylai's)! I've also recently competed in TWITCH RIVALS where I played ADC and came joint first against other streamers such as TFBlade.

I peaked last Season at Diamond 1 and this was due to my aggressive play style! Rushing , multiple s, constantly diving...I like to think that i bring my own unique playstyle to ! He's a very fun champion to play, and brings adaptability to his builds - and potentially changing every time you use his ultimate.

I play pretty much hyper aggressive constantly, having and allows me to get some early kills pre level 6. This in turn gives me an early spike and eventually leads to me getting first blood tower or snowballing the lane. Having also gives you that extra damage when your spells are on cooldown.

FLASH

is taken as your primary escape summoner, and is especially valuable on an immobile champion like . allows you to make clutch escapes, or to get in range for that last auto or ability of a dying enemy.

TELEPORT

in my opinion is only beneficial for pushing sidelines and generally splitting, lacks severe gank potential due to him needing to set down his turrets in order to do any significant damage.

EXHAUST

In certain matchups is beneficial to negate burst, eg. and - but having the ability to purchase a quite early allows you to still build in Season 10.

Electrocute

★ I personally have transitioned to from over the past couple of months. This is due to you being able to proc it easily from Level 1 with your turret autos counting towards the 3 hits needed. The burst is on a long cooldown but end game I feel the damage is more beneficial in team fights over that of or . (ALSO...There is nothing better than waiting in a bush with / up and obliterating some poor soul)

Taste of Blood

★ is very good sustain during laning phase. As , you want to be continuously poking the enemy, and this will be sustaining you consistently while you do so.

Ghost Poro

★ is fantastic, not only does it provide you with extra vision when your ward has expired, it also grants you extra AP - as well as a bonus of 10 adaptive force after gaining 10 stacks.

Ravenous Hunter

★ synergizes well with , healing you for a percentage of damage done by your abilities. Due to poking champions constantly, you should be able to sustain easily in lane without having to buy extra health pots.

Absolute Focus

★ is fantastic at increasing our damage on , especially as we want to be throwing our abilities from range - never being in the middle of fray. Hopefully, you should be able to play above 70% HP more often than not.

Gathering Storm

★ is very good when the game goes to late - the later the game, the more AP you gain, meaning more damage. If you want to close out the game quickly, is also a viable option.

is a viable rune for toplane or support. This is due to the nature of the champions you will be against - , , , , etc...These champions are mostly melee and having allows you to consistently punish them for trying to get into range! With having a high range auto attack, there is no reason for you to not have a crazy early game lead/early kills! The only downside is that falls off drastically in teamfights/late game...so its a risk you take when choosing it. Win early or die late.

The video below is a VERY DETAILED GUIDE ON WHAT RUNES TO USE AS HEIMERDINGER:

In Season 10, the best lane for is still mid over top. This is due to his old counters losing their extreme burst from the Thunderlord change, and also due to most toplaners being tanky as HELL! Sure, you can go top, but end game - it's going to be more beneficial to have a , or in teamfights, than it would be to have potentially 2 AP damage dealers!

When playing him top, its best to take , this is due to the nature of having a great range on his auto attacks.

Constantly auto attacking and throwing your abilities at melee champs top = more procs! ALSO your procs TWICE during the time it is alive.

When playing mid its best to take the rune. This is due to most AP midlaners having a strong range and in turn negating any auto attack gain from . Landing a grenade during your combos pretty much guarantees an proc, and chunking out your opponent.

lacks the early game burst to be a hyper carry mage/assassin like or . He also lacks the escape potential/tankiness to be a great siege champion like or ! BUT if you build aggressive and play aggressive early, you can really take control of the lane and eventually the game.

The video below gives you a GREAT EXPLANATION of how to do this during a DIAMOND RANKED GAME:

I have always been a fan of playing and building aggressive. Rushing a / allows you to bully the other laner and most of the time gain some early kills while inadvertently forcing them to build defensively.

Focus on most of your damage coming from your lazer beam procs and not your missiles, a lot of people thing that 's main burst comes from his missiles or poke, but there is nothing better than landing a spicy grenade on a ganking / and 2 hitting them!

Having a and allows you to adeptly mana manage. This will take some getting used to! "Especially if you are used to rushing a morellos"

With the rune rework ALL assassins are scary! Priority ban is /. With , they have the ability to literally one hit you once they get . Rush a / when dealing with these bois!!

used to be a hard counter but isn't as bad as she used to be...still though, in the right hands she can be hard to deal with. is ALWAYS best to keep her at range. Try and get a kill pre level 6 in order to best consolidate your mighty presence in lane!

In the toplane, and are the hardest matchups right now! will constantly dive and split push once he hits 6 and with is scary. Make these priority toplane bans and hope for an / in your lane! Taking against dominant melee champs should allow you to get ahead and stay ahead!

I've recently started a series where I breakdown different tiers of players from Bronze to Diamond. They are VERY in-depth but worth a watch if you want to know the nitty gritty of my mindset when it comes to builds/runes/playstyle!

One thing players should constantly be doing is utilizing the range on his auto attack to punish the opposing laner early! It doesn't matter if your main rune is or - Constantly auto attacking from level 1 will give you a strong advantage in lane due to early damage/stopping your laner from CSing effectively

Doing this against Melee champions is especially annoying and works exceptionally well!:

Stealing has always been something can do..but most people dont do it as effectively and efficiently as they should! This video details how to steal pretty much every time! It breaks down the whys, hows and whens of stealing .

Always remember when stealing objectives:

Turrets for vision.
Ult Grenade for the steal.
W with the follow up.

If you have a during the steal or steal you will significantly increase your chances of success! The burst is so strong that its very hard for the jungler to calculate. Most of the time they are focused on your 3 turrets and disregard your incoming burst!
