As a 500k Heimer otp, I have to say it's very hard to go back. I feel naked playing without my turrets. Everything said in the video is very accurate.
Yeah, especially when using other champions, i really miss them
As a 1 mil Heimer otp, this precisely. I think that this harkens back to the fact that Heim can do any of the three mage archetypes fairly well. If I try to play an artillery mage, I find myself wanting to get up close and zone the enemy in particular ways or if I play a burst mage, I tend to find myself wanting to draw fights out too long etc.
If u ain't a mill u ain't nothin
"The big donger himself" -Vars 2020.
I thing magicarp called him that?
He's the anti gank, can't tell you how many times the jungler dives into the bowels of my turret nest.
If I recall it was countered by an Darius under Ubercharge... I mean Taric ult.
It's fun seeing junglers die before heimindinger
@@ihate9777 all you need is one stun and the jungler is basically dead. Stun, R+Q, W and if needed Zonya's. Heimer relies a lot on his stun plus turret burst combo but he can literally burst down anyone and 1v5. I have gotten triple and quadra kills so many times.
Same
@@SahilP2648 I get that this is d but wouldnt U r+W cuz they r already at Ur terret nest?
Heimer has a big problem: he automatically pushes the wave. We need to put down turrets to basically to anything, and turret autopush the wave till we r forced to get ganked. Fortunately that heimer is pretty good on antiganking but losing such opportunities like controlling the waves making him harder to play and play against.
Riot: Let's bump down heim a little
lol Just Set turrets for Trades and clear Wave Just With e Sand w
@@leonkreiter1967 until lost chapter you shouldn't really be using e or w to push the wave, lvl 1 to 6 heimer only has like 600 mana, w costs 75, e costs 100
I find that my main role in most games is to get an early kill, back to buy, and soak up ganks the rest of the laning phase to let my team scale with me. Early game jgs tend to be too weak to gank me, so if I play it right, I can burst them down and get a bigger lead while continuing to draw him/her into my lane
As a diamond heimer onetrick I love how accurate this video is there are a few things I would add but I must say it's an excellent video!
Do tell! :D
@@VarsVerum How his turrets aggro works defiantly plays a part they are as frustrating as minions and make last hitting a nightmare. In a addition his Grenade is deceptively hard to land (the stun part) as the time it takes to stun scales exponentially the farther you though it making it an unattractive ability. (I hope i didn't miss something you said and just ended up repeating it here).
@@JasonJHeng yessss yessss exactttllyy .... ahhh
got any tips? im only at 237k so far but i still learn new things everyday!
Only Hard part About heimer is hitting the smallest stun in the game
I love heimerdinger but he's very buggy, sometimes his big turret will just randomly stop attacking enemies despite being immune to crowd control.
I love Heimer so much, although his community is small they are loyal af, idk which characters have one trick youtubers but we definitely do.. Also never count out the passive! Dodging skill shots and running away becomes much easier
I didn't even play Heimer and I 100% have noticed how loyal his playerbase is. Its crazy and awesome.
@duxnet I love heimer I breath heimer I am heimer
A passive that heals the turret is still better.
Honestly I think that Jayce would be a pretty interesting pick for a video like this . Used to be really popular in the earlier days, and nowadays never seen. Not 100% poke nor 100% all in.
Jayce doesn't quite match my criteria since his popularity has been conspicuous in both solo queue and pro play for a large portion of the game's history. He's only weak recently because the meta isn't burst/poke friendly right now.
Vars I see. In general though, I think the concept of old champions falling from immense popularity to dumpster-tier is another cool topic that’s worth a look, especially in regards to the direction riot is trying to take league’s design to. Don’t you think champions who have simply never been truly popular to begin with share characteristics with those?
To me it seems like the issue with Jayce stretches a bit further than simple meta shifts - nowadays, You truly don’t see any new champion/rework resemble a kit such as his or actually, any other shape shifter.
Either way, I hope you don’t mind the rambling, as I truly find your analysis of the game incredibly engaging.🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Thanks for the response, love the series!
@@amitayabramov8858 I am reading your comment after one year,I don't play leaug but I watch eSports in 2021 wc off leaug jayce is allmost in evrey game solo top lane
@@awesomegamer7036 Arcane has it's bad effects
@@dubvascl5840 so u mean t1 edg and many more Pro teams pic jayce for nothing,or u are pointing about me i don't play leaug but i still watch there pro games because I watched arcane if that is your point first arcane come online after the wc off leaug and I allmost watch evrey eSports game which I never played or gonna play in future,
I love Heimerdinger, one of my favorite champions and probably the first champion I truly main.
...I kite like a mad man when I play him. Works everytime.
the thing is u can do the same thing with azir and hes way more consistent.... except his pro play balancing
@@oijin6126 is azir cute as fuck
@@gabrielantunez7642 No he is fucking daddy. He is the dilf of dilfs
Aww man, as a Heimer main this made me feel so good about my life choices
And I agree, a very big part of what's cool to me about Heimer is that he is a very rare pick but still good if played right, kinda like Kled
I use heimer for supp, when I first picked him up I went on a losing streak cause I had no idea what he was doing, but once you got a hang of him I think the satisfaction of killing enemy who’s chasing you under turret is amazing
i have 497k mastery points on my level 7 heimer, i love him. he can be good or he can be bad but he's fun to me
With Heimerdinger, your weakness is your biggest strenght actually. You really have to be ready to die in every teamfight in order to master this champion. Your outplay potential is over 9000! Not super flashy plays like Vars said, just the right setup and predictions.
XD You make it sound like ulting your turret in the middle of the fight and burning targets for over 1100 AP damage with Liandry's actually takes skill.
@@Agdem_ people might underestimate your damage, but they know that if they hit you you're dead. With heim you have to hit your spells while kiting, it's not that easy in various situations. Once you're fed sure it's kinda dumb.
@@Agdem_ lmao Ur clearly just ass why would I need to t my turret when U can just flash, U should be keeping Ur r for w plus Heimer is prob the worst champ in game without his turrets so there's that
@@elbardo5778 DW he is just mad that he got steamrolled by heim
@@elbardo5778 Don't mind him. All this comment gremlin does is stir negative arguments in videos of league :')
I used to play him as my main when his rockets were homing. Ever since they changed that, I don't know who to play anymore. His passive doesn't repair his turrets and towers anymore either. It makes me miss the old Heimer.
Vars lists the three types of mages
Controll mages: are we a joke to you?
I have 301k points on heimer , I have been through a lot of hate for just using my q properly and outsmarting opponents.
Oh my god, Heimer is a Red Mage
Heimers biggest weakness is that his kit has to be strung together in a very specific way to make him work, and that way changes depening on the situation hes in. His turrets are most of his damage, but *only* the lasers, and the lasers only fire if you land a grenade or all 5 of the missiles. And since the turrets lasers take a moment to fire and they cant get any more charge until they do, that also means you cant do what other burst mages do and just fire off all your skills together and kill your opponent in 0.13 seconds, you have to wait a short time after the grenade hits to fire the missiles which gives your opponent time to leave the stun and react to either the missiles or the second set of lasers. So the second set of lasers rarely actually hit, but he has to be balanced around the fact that they *can* hit. You also have to be able to decide when someone engages on you if you should throw your grenade right away and then set up a turret (making them able to dodge the followup rockets and wasting that turrets first beam) or tank the damage with Heimers tiny HP pool to set up the turret first for more damage. Even when fishing for damage in lane or during sieges, you have to weigh the risk of trying to get a grenade to land to do damage to someone harassing your turrets with the chance that they could take that opportunity to rush over to you, making your only defense *AND* most reliable offense on cooldown, which almost surely means your doom.
He also has difficulty securing kills if the opponent realizes theyre going to lose and just leaves. He has to use his entire kit to bring anyone close to dying, because technically he only has 2 abilities. The turrets are more like passive zones he sets up to enhance his 2 abilities, and even his ult uses the CD of his normal abilities (except Ult Turret, which cant be used to chase). Which means if someone just walks away, Heimers only options are to try and chase them away from his turrets in which case most enemies can easily turn on him and kill him even with 10% HP.
This is also why I laugh every time salty opponents tell me Heimer takes no skill because "you just run around and let your turrets do all the damage". Yeah dude, but my turrets only do damage if I hit every skill shot perfectly, and if I miss one grenade Im already dead.
I feel that last part, most of the people i fight say "heimer is a braindead champ, he so easy compared to my champ" and im just sitting there confused or amused at the incorrect assumption. I do say that if you stack enough ap his regular turrets shots can do way more dmg than anyone would think, i had about 700-800 ap late game and was doing 200 dmg per shot without beams.
My biggest issue that I haven't found a fix for yet is the constant pushing of the lane if you set up all 3 turrets. If someone tries to freeze the lane while it usually doesn't work out for them but is still annoying and irritating. If you have a solution for this do tell. Also although his abilities have a large range, the projectiles move very slowly, alot of prediction have to go into actually hitting an ability if you are trying to hit them from afar. Also any dashes or interuption of movement or burst of it can easily kill you because his e doesn't get any cd reduction, you can only reduce it with ability haste which makes early game a struggle to hit your e or die.
@@Deleted_userad Set up your turrets behind you so that you can retreat to them if you need to and farm with autos, harass with rockets. Then you can freeze and if your opponent starts hard pushing you have the turrets to reset it back to middle.
11:09 This made me so proud
Excellent quality video, made perfect sense. Subscribed.
"it's an interesting experience"
this is a heimerdinger video, it's only painful in this scenario
I really don't want him to be more popular lol, hopefully he stays hidden
Ahh this video is the exact reason why I want to main this guy :) He literally can be and do anything your team needs
I somehow managed to sync really well with his playstyle that I went from mastery 5 to mastery 7 in a week. Ever since, I have loved playing him and this video made me realize different perspectives and qualities of him. He's so versatile that every game feels different enough to keep me interested and I never get bored
Same. Got 3 mastery tokens in a single day
Somehow it was easier for me to get from mastery 6 to 7 this time compared to last preseason when the mythic items were straight up OP. But I went with the same liandry's+demonic build and still dealt tons of damage and I was wondering how it was so easy to get a S+ with just a 7/1 score because if I did the same thing on Teemo, I wouldn't even get an S lmao.
I love him so much. Still one of my favorite Champs ever since season 1
Burst Heimer can do something a bit more reliable than bush camping. Having a single turret down, grenading an enemy, and placing a second turret down while grenade is in the air can usually kill most squishys, and missles can finish them off if needed.
I have a friend otp himer and he is so good that in some point of the match the enemies try to scapes of him, and he just follow them trowing basics like a maniac
HEIMERGINGUS
@@pablomerino1357 YES
i really have to say u analysts on most champs is spot on .... i has played a few of them and like champs that are not banned
As a former master elo Heimerdinger OTP I support this video. He's one of the best champions in the game due to his flexibility.
well the way you talk about him make me pretty excited to try to play him better haha
That’s the goal! :D
@@VarsVerum and you done it perfectly :D
Heimer is so fun to play, i love "building" class/characters. looking at you deep rock galatic and tf2 engineers. I love the lil automated guns.
No one plays him because his turrets are so squishy that it's essentially a dead spell past the midgame.
but thats changeable. you see, i full Q in early the game so that my turrets deal max dmg which keeps me safe in lane but also makes my W and E really weak. and i try to harass my enemy with this really low dmg trying to make them think that they can all in and kill me. well, they usualy do it and if im 6lvl, even with the jungler, two of em cant take me in turrets, cause if i stun them with my E in all 3 of the turrets, they are dead.
@@shatteredheart8548 You're still only talking about early game.
@@rdsasuke1 Yes but actually no. You can win lane easily with your turrets in the early game (especially if your opponent is melee) because heim is basically an early champ. You cant expect from him to become fckin nasus or kassadn n shit in the late game but his still strong, he doesnt have much burst dmg tho, except from his ult W obviously.
@@rdsasuke1 If you position your turret correctly, it's really hard to destroy the turret in a team fight since you must waste resources to do so. The turret can be as well placed in the backline, serving as 'home-base' for your team. You cant and should never use turret as an active engager - they are zoning tool, not diver. You also have poke and hard cc so it's hard for people to get close. However, since as you said, the turret are squishy, you must learn the team fight so you can make the most dps.
@@minhnguyenphanhoang4193 u can also just do a kartus play style and run in, place all your towers in middle of the enemy team use ult tower and e w die and watch gray fireworks
build like glasscannon with reilais and enjoy being call braindead by enemy team or yours if they are unable to clean up
i didnt know what to do when people broke my turrets, so in my first game i destroyed a noob cassio but then in the next i got destroyed by a cretin yone just because i didnt know what my e did
Whenever i get a kill in bot lane as herm supp, i like to brag saying "IM THE ADC NOW" to the enemies lmao
Heimer is actually very oppressive in lane . Me and my adc struggled against him SOLO
I primarily play Dota 2, but back around 2014 when I was in college, my friends kept nagging me to try LoL. (since I was the only Dota player in the group) So I tried playing with them and I had fun. This was the time where every team had a Ziggs and Teemo was the hot shit that everyone wanted to play. Then I came across Heimerdinger. Instantly loved playing him. Almost always played Heimer for I think about a year when an update came. Nerfed TF out of him. Seemed like I was using a new hero. Disappointed, I went back to DotA 2 and have never looked backed since. I still wonder if I should revisit LoL.
nah you made the right choice stick with it.
I loved his old kit before they reworked him, that and Banner of Command and ZZRot
I didn't even know his passive until today lol
I love Heim! He is such fun champ!
I miss prerework heim, yes, ik, it was long ago, but that's when I mained him.
Update, I am maining Heim again, and I love him now too, but I liked both iterations.
I'm not sure if he's played too much to be featured in a video, but maybe you should do one on Vel'Koz?
Hmmm... sure :o
He's my first main, I just started. I'm on my downward spiral
Very good video!
yes R should be able to upgrade 1/2/3 abilities, as what if Q could do 5 turrets? what if u could choose in game what his abilities are set as, Q 1) more aa dmg + other stats no laser (battle), 2) as is (poke), 3) only laser an come fully charged (burst), W 1) 1 big rocket that drags him shortly behind can release in direction (poke), 2) shorter range auto target all shorter cd (battle), 3) as is (Burst), E 1) big one above head (battle), 2) can lob at Q turrets which can shoot it to others or location (poke), 3) charges it for more dmg/knockback (burst).
Just curious! What rank are you currently in?
Just started playing this game 3 days ago. This is my fav character to play, I dont even know anything about other characters lol
Stay away from everyone and run
Nice video!
Cannon rusher in SC2 heim main in LOL makes sense
I find Heimerdinger to be an annoying champion in the same way Teemo is annoying. I never feel like they outplayed me, they just exploited my impatience. If I get impatient against Teemo I will run into too many mushrooms and die. If I get impatient against Heimerdinger, I will walk into his turrets for too long and die. I just feel like I outplayed myself instead of them outplaying me. I could just decide not to engage in their territory and in that case they would be pretty weak.
Yes ur right to beat heimer it about patient but this patient is actually a high reward all u need to do is waiting until he does a bad move once he does that bad move u can punish him really hard I mostly play top lane from what I saw is that all heimer player even one I met he is mastery 7, 400k mastery points they have one unique tactic push ur lane really hard make u play under ur turret and they don't want u to farm once stuck at ur turret they will bait u by diving u and take some tower shot then they run to their turret they would expect you to follow them so if u follow them inside their territory their turrets will slow u and they will cast all their abilities on u and die from their turrets and minions but it never works on me so the best way to counter him is with champ that have a gab closer like vi or shen .....ect and for teemo he is actually weak I always destroy him with garen or warwick in top lane
try and play him. outplay someone, one of the best feelings ever, especially when they gank you and you kill em both
@@prosaibo7761 if u outplay heimer with Warwick, he is just bad player
@@jindrichhermann7937 I only said that I can outplay teemo with ww if I need to outplay heimer in mid or top lane I pick vi or shen
good music choice
Big brain jungle is the most complicated thing u could ever see
Kled and the D O N G E R are my favourite mid champs, it always depends.
the full quote is "jack of all trades , master of none , is often better than a master of one" since its ideally better to be decent at many things than it is to specialize in a single thing and to completely suck at everything else, I only point this out since there's a general consensus that being a jack of all trades is a bad things and an insult when this couldn't be further from the truth.
So I’m not crazy thinking heimer is confusing to play!
Toplane HeimusDongus is a free ticket to gold
I had come across a 4 million point donger. He had no idea how to play his champion
I had my first game with him yesterday I was doing pretty well and then BOOM Pentakill
Why no one plays heimerdinger. Except in my promos when I am playing top
Found your channel through the maple videos but I really love your analysis, calm approach and the work you put into these videos. Hope to see more from this series ^^
Thank you! Hope you can leave a like and subscribe for more in the future
They should give him back his 6 turret and make his ult last forever like how yorick did plus if enemies is out of range the turret will auto shot energy shoot. Since the energy shoot is easy to dodge it will constantly shoot it instead of his normal shoot when enemies out of turret range.
And since the energy shoot already shoot enemies out of range but only at max energy (50)which can be fix by making them using it with 5 energy only.
I love playing Heimer :D
I wish that no one played this champ.
As a heimerdinger one trick I approve this message XD,
Of my 60 hours ish of league at least 48 are just pure heimerdinger and I'm still nowhere near good with him XD
I know I'm late to the party but I've been retired from league for awhile but I quit because the repeat nerfs for years that heimer received. He just isn't viable as he used to or should. I have a lot of issues with what riot has done. Increasing the wait time for laser from 16 seconds to 90 seconds has no logical action besides to punish heimer. Most turrets will out level, be replaced, and heimer should never stay in a lane that long when it comes to a team fight game, when turtling at tower is only during 1-6 phase.
Heimer used to be a phenomenal jungler, only because his turrets could acquire laser stacks by auto attack, which in the past it was 5% per hit, on top of the 16 second load time. Now you can't do shit. Any enemy jungler with a brain will punish a heimer jungler or steal all buffs available.
Heimer used to be able to check bushes with his e(stun) and grant vision. Heimer has the worst escape kit out of most champions, and the 20% movespeed passive is meaningless if its not constantly hovering 100% of the time. This will punish all heimerdingers trying to help jungle or top/bot with ganking, assuming he always has 3 turrets available, which if you're playing against anybody good, you won't. And no heimerdinger can afford to lay down 3 turrets, while getting 1 shotted by a khazix or rengar. While using stun to survive with less than .1 second reaction time to live from bush checking, you gave up the only skill guaranteed to boost turret lasers.
If still available, go read how riot comes up with bullshit comments in the notes that are literally troll logic of "oh damn ya boy heimer way too strong", as kat was doing 4k damage aoe, ult 5 players in 3 seconds, with infinite cooldown, and still get 5 seasons worth of buffs.
Heimerdinger deserves more, not a mage carry, or solo pusher reduced to mediocre support role. To put in otherwords, to master heimer with his kit today, offers high risk with low reward with his low damage and awful scaling with abilities and stats. Any pentakill heimer has achieved by today standards is just kill steals and playing bronze players in high elo.
Still waiting Why no one plays Veigar Day 5
2:55 Who is that champ that turns into a dino?
Not a dino 😂 But a dragon; it's Shyvana
I feel like yordles are all unpopular minu maybe tristana and veigar we got teemo, gnar, heimer, ziggs, rumble and poppy are all unpopular
All I want is melee champs to be garaunteed to destroy his turrets with 1 auto, It's so annoying when in toplane you get locked behind your own tower because his turrets outrange you and you can't destroy them quick
Get reqt turrets health and dmg got buffed
Ill always pick smite with unsealed spellbook against him
siege heimer is fun enemy champs are helpless
I don't play Donger, because I have too small of a brain to do so *Cries in juggernaut*
I play Heimerdinger lol About to get Diamond with him too :)
He's the best top laner in the game right now lol after Liandry's his turrets hit harder than a Lux ult lmao.
Support Heimer is a nightmare to gank for low elo junglers lol. Love it
Also not to mention when your whole team ints in a teamfight, Heimer has decent De-push to save your towers/base than most other supports would have.
ngl I cant tell how many times the enemy jungler tried to gank me just to jump into my turrets and die to my empowered w and every time that happens they complain about how op my turrets are lol
Let me just say if you ever see a Leona support. Play heimer adc. If they’re smart they’ll quit before the match starts.
Maybe Shaco, but idk his playrate
Season 11, donger tier S top and adc, B on mid...
Im proud that heimerdinger is ny best pick lol
What this vid has taught me:
This is Donger territory - enter at own risk.
This is Donger territory - do not enter.
This is Donger territory - there is nothing in this bush *wink* *wink*.
This is Donger territory - our fanclub already has enough members, we would rather you join another, but you are welcome regardless.
Heim
I've mained Heimerdinger for awhile now (I'm not fantastic I'm silver ish if that but my Heimerdinger is level 7 with a little over 100k points) I do find this video very accurate of him and one of the "fixes" I'd like to see on him is to be able to pickup his turrets to be put down at a later time and also being able to set them all up at the same time in pre determined formations.
Also I would REALLY like to see a cat in the hat Heimerdinger skin with his turrets being Thing 1, 2, and 3
Next video idea for this zyra
donger
My main
that didnt age too well
Respect for the ffxiii theme, also completely hate playing against him in lane but he doesn't do much in teamfights
Dude! This really brought my self-esteem up because I am a Heimerdinger main, and I am really really good! I didn’t realize Heimerdingner was one of the hardest champions to master!
Thats my champion back when I played the game. Just buy Zhonia and you can easily bait people to their deaths.
As a heimerdinger main we are more annoying than teemo and we dont need jungler
Heimer main here. Only smurfs with blitz or someother app will ban him. Love it. Stay obscure you yordle.
at least he does not get the Azir treatment ,like nerfs when he is low in play rate...and win rate...kinda sad to be honest
this comment didnt age well
Why do people act like Lee sin is hard to play?
i main heimer literally just because i like robotics
Jack of all trades but master of none, but master of many is better than master of one.
i personally hate heimerdinger and anyone that punishes you for pushing forward, either playing against them or as them.
From an azir main. I think heimer has the same difficulty as azir.
Agreed! Maybe even harder.
no one plays heimer because they are all playing scion, hoping someone else will pick heimer so they can do the best thing in the game- kicking heimer's turrets with scion. kicking that ult is the best thing in the game. joy of joys.
Everyone fucking plays him when im yi mid.
Raise your dongers ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ
