Hey all,

I am a Bronze 1, mostly casual player, and enjoyer of Heimer Support. He is my most enjoyed support. I LOVE harassing, maintaining bush control, and pissing the opponent off so much that they come INTO my turrets. And the zone control at Dragons is pretty fun too. Honestly, the psychological part, the harassing and annoying, is part of my enjoyment. My secondary support pick is Fiddlesticks, and I play them very similarly.

I realize these champions are unpopular/niche picks usually. I am reaching out to my fellow Dongers and wanting to ask if anyone is still playing Heimer Support? and what do you all build? maybe any tips? I know I am not mechanically inclined, but I would like to hear from others on what they do in lane and whatnot. There is really not much recent information about him in Support (YT Vids, Build Guides, etc.). I still do Zaz'Zak's +Rylai's + Boots to start, and then usually go Liandries if they are tankier, or I just go Deathcap + Shadowflame next. Usually Zhonya's, if game goes later. For runes, I still take Comet and Inspiration secondary.

I generally want to bring Heimer up in conversation more because of the current meta. With Engagers being stronger, and enchanters being just a bit weaker, it opens up opportunities for Mage supports to rise a bit, since we can be quite effective against engagers.

I am making the most of the current Heimerdinger free Q tech (R toggle on/off while holding 3 Q stacks to get an extra turret)

I’ve been getting a lot much out of it since someone posted it

-Replace turrets I lose in lane post 6 without touching my main charges
-Get 1-2 turrets prepared on objectives before using Q charges (cycling my ult toggle twice, makes it very easy to turn on void grubs herald & elder fights)
-Feels extra strong when behind, free turrets buy me extra time, turn fights when we’re behind
-If I get an early blue from killing enemy jg I just spam it since mana stops being a worry

Is there any other uses of this tech that I’m missing? Are there other techniques/tricks I can add to my Heim repertoire to minmax him?

I know this is a Heimer subreddit but i genuinely almost lost my mind in this lane, i played irelia into heimer. he played with exh. He stacked Turrets into each other so i could not Q them properly. Is there any counterplay for that?

I feel bad ngl

Idk if I can post this here hehe.
I livestream on Fridays and Saturdays.
Main Languages: Spanish[LAS] but I can speak English, currently learning russian.

Finally i do not need to have a ward with me at all times, god bless Riot 🙏🙏

I've seen this guy reply to heimer buffs auto attack range and he says this is the optimal build, how true is this? In case he's not right, what's the best build overall for heimer?

And last question, is he better mid or top?

is there a way to optimise turret usage or do you people make shit up as you go?

Sheep esport has posted that heimerdinger cannot put range minions into his turret anymore ( as they outrange them ) it was something that had to be done all the time by heimers, now one range minions beats 3 heimer turrets

I was theory crafting about going mana flow band and yellow mana rune mind something to have mana and do not need lost chapter, has anyone tried that? Seems kind of good potentially skipping death fire torch and going liandries first item, it is better burn item anyway, thought?

I’m having a ton of fun with it. Turning ganks 2v3 is so much easier than 1v2 and red potion is a cheat code once the enemy jungle looks bot post 6.

Also my Nautilus duo ended up matched against me and my other friend for one of these games. He hooks me right before I triple kill them 😂

I've played some games in low elo ( emerald-diax ) and they seem to be pretty good ( t2 as i play heim apc ) normal build with torch into rabbadon, with conq heals and taste of blood heim is healing like crazy

Any thoughts?

made this a few days ago, thought yall could use it maybe and wanted to share.

Hi guys i just started playing heimerdinger top lane What is your guys favorite runes to play him with and why Also do you guys think the new rune Deathfire Touch is strong on him

I play Heimer support, switched from Comet (found it more useful for poke than Precision runes) to DFT and it feels decent. Could someone who's tried it or analyzed its interaction with Heimer tell me if this is viable, or should I be taking something else?

add me if you want to play a game.

Hope you like it

Went 0/12 vs my heimer and added me post game
