I can't think of a more annoying champion to gank; if you go near him, all the turrets around him take half your health as your approaching, and then he throws his missiles and kills you. I can't just leave him alone either, if he's pushing and bullying my teammate in the lane, so how do I kill him without dying to the turrets?

I generally don't gank Heimy, he's quite a pain in lane but you shouldn't die to him unless you jump in his turrets (DON'T DO THAT) and he's really bad at teamfighting imo.

If you really want to kill him, you have to be sure your damage will come really quick, if you kill it fast enough, you can just walk out of his turret then.

Kill it fast or ignore him

if the turrets are that much of a problem, just smite one of them, or play a jungler that has a displacement effect like Lee Sin. it also helps to have a champion with high mobility, to get away from the turrets
If I helped you out, be sure to throw me a +Rep!

Heimerdinger is a pain to gank any time he has had time to setup shop.

As Utopus said, Lee Sin can kick Heimer away from his turrets though you may have to be a little crafty in order to get to him. E.g. Ward jumping to him via Safeguard. Plus side with that is while he is in the air he can't be doing other things like planting his upgraded H-28Q Apex Turret.

Nunu + Consume + Smite = One tasty turret snack and one temporary smoldering turret crater. Still likely leaves one turret, but you should be able to work around that.

If he is imprudent and clusters the turrets too together then AoE spells are good at knocking them out without taking damage.

You don't.
It's incredibly difficult to lock him down, get the kill, and make it away.

The following have the best chance of a successful gank on him:
Also note that they should be built tanky, because the turrets are going to still damage you no matter how much CC is on Heimer.

Ganking a Heimerdinger is really hard as people are saying here. It really depends on champion and the laner that you have on you team. Both have to go in at the same time. You can ask your teammate if he can try take the turrets before you bank, which will make it easier for both of you! I would recommend banking as early as possible, and burn his flash fast, then gank again. The reason is that he can only have 1 turret out on lvl 1-3. If I am not horribly mistaking. At least not more then two! Good luck, Jomg20!
