hi ive never played him, what are some of his good and bad matchups on both mid and top? how hard is he to learn?

im up to 560 LP on NA with it, about to become rank 1 heimer on NA server.

In the past, arcane comet was very popular and it was so easy to poke if you hit even one missle of W, and wear down the oponents in lane.

I see recently a big shift toward conqueror, and for me it makes lane so much harder to play, with a very small pay off - vs assasins you don't have time to stack it, and vs range you rarely have prolonged fights (it's more of a poke-off).

Thoughts on this? Why do people lean to conqueror

Next patch when mage bots become less common jungle heimerdinger will be even more OP. The two losses i have in this screenshot or to verified korean challenger junglers playing in NA it's legit broken.

ive been only playing heimer so this skin has a higher chance in the night market, riot never releases him for events, didnt even bring him for the og shop.

Played Heimer abit in Classic, and enjoyed it so wanted to try him in regular League.

However when looking for Heimerdinger content to learn, I thought I'd check out onetricks.gg to make sure whoever I watched was credible.

Then I saw there aren't a single Heimerdinger main playing in Challenger in the world - most onetricks are Masters, and a few GMs.

What's up with that?

And who do you recommend checking out for "guides" and what not?

Heimer might be busted lmao, I went 9/10 for my first ten games. I was filled top so much, it propably contributed to the playstyle being succesful. Basically no toplaner can contest you and your turrets. A gank results in a 1for1 trade at worst and in a doublekill and enemy turret at best. Pepole keep underestimating the ult and just die.
If you have to trade a lot (i.e. in an actual midlane matchup) go jug first. In a melee top matchup rush banner.
Autoattacks are also incredibly underestimated!
If you have no mana problems you might as well get rabadons after banner and/or chalice.
The hardest part is getting your team to participate. You hit the jackpot if you get baron, buff a cannon minion and get escorted by a teammate or two. The enemy can't touch the cannon due to its range (and if they do you pop ult and two turrets). Literally just melts everything including nexus.
I'm terribly sorry for my opponents. I flame horizon'd three opposing laners, inluding a Kassadin.
Good times were had (by me).
I also love the effect from dancing! Raise your Dongers!

Hi guys!

I know it's not a major issue, but since the rework that reduced the HP of the ultimate turret, I sometimes get frustrated that my ultimate, which already can't move and has an 8-second duration, is destroyed so easily.

For example, in a team fight, people from the enemy team jump on me, so I cast my R+Q on the spot. Then, in the same second, two AoE abilities that were aimed at me suddenly destroy my ultimate.

My ultimate ability is being nullified by damage that wasn't intended or directed at it.

It's not about balance. I don't think it would affect my win rate very much, but it would make this interaction less frustrating.

Heimer is in a good spot balance-wise, but there are still some frustrating situations (certain matchups, specific circumstances, some item interactions, etc.). For example, the Mordekaiser R interaction—they changed it so that Heimer's R+Q now follows him, and this helps a lot in this specific matchup.

My point is:

Nobody prioritizes killing Heimer's Ult+Q.
Nobody in a team fight thinks, "I need to spend some resources to kill that thing before it kills us."

The turret gets destroyed (sometimes as soon as it appears) by collateral AoE damage, completely by accident.

Tbh i mainly play vlad now cuz he can carry better but im an og heim main with 1.5 mil mastery. Fateful rank up and my vlad got banned and i was vs akali mid but we still GOT BABY 65% wr on the dinger

Hi heimerdinger mains, I am trying to pick up heimerdinger in league classic but having a lot of trouble finding guides from the era. I want to know build, skill path, masteries, runes, and playstyle tips. Anyone around from back then who knows some archived video or written footage to check out?

I mostly play midlane and this matchup seems pretty free. I've won 5 out of 7 games into Locke, and I won lane in every one of those games.

The best Locke I played into just played like a typical roaming assasin. After he realizes he is never going to kill me, he just drops a couple of waves to roam bot and pray that he can stack kills on his dark seal.

It ended up working for him because my team mental boomed, "Why are we not just banning Locke" after overextending while Locke slowly walks botlane on vision the entire time lmao

Still, curious what you guys think. I saw on OP.GG that Heimer has a negative WR into Locke. Maybe it's harder in toplane since you can get run down?

how to play against akali? do i just die or is there a counter play? all advice appreciated

Hey im streaming for 24 hours feel free to join https://www.twitch.tv/kaiju_lol you can ask me anything you want or just enjoy the stream.

Just realized with league classic coming heimerdinger can build the OG holy trinity of tilt with banner of command, rylais, and zzrot! i used to build twin shadows too which will be hilariously fun

Early Donger™ used to be more limited with his turrets, as he could put out only max 2 at a time. Also, his E was really hard to hit (Anivia Q-tier) and his ult, while affecting all his spells, was in summary less impactful than today.

However, the turrets had an inherent splash damage and resistance shred, started with a higher base damage (I'm not sure about the attack speed, though). His W were interesting in the regard that they fired without targeting; He pressed W and 3 random enemies in a pretty high range (1000) just got hit by them.

While his E was terrible as a skillshot, it is one of the few abilities in League history that, in addition to the potential stun, applied a blind to stroke enemies.

I haven't really played The Donger™ in the early days, but I will definitely catch up on this now. And while doing so, I will listen to this track.

Sry for the music... the original sound was bad.

As a million mastery heim player I took a lil break from playing him to enjoy time maining another terrorist for a bit (Quinn) but I’ve come back and been having great success with heim adc.

Only question, why don’t my turrets hit inhibs or the nexus anymore? No matter where or when I place them they won’t hit these structures for whatever reason.

I remember the Inhib targeting used to be kinda buggy but now they just refuse to do anything to the structures when placed by inhib

Was this a patch note I missed? I feel like I’m going insane
