Guides
Welcome to League of Legends new player. Here’s everything you need to know to play with Heimerdinger: abilities, builds, and more.
“The Revered Inventor”, known asHeimerdinger, is a renowned figure in Piltover. Ex-head of Council, scientist, and professor, Heimer helped many young scholars find their way into science, such as Viktor and Jayce inArcane. But who exactly is Heimerdinger in League of Legends? He’s still a scientist obsessed with building and using machines in League. Here’s everything you need to know to play Heimerdinger.
Heimerdinger roles
InLeague of Legends, Heimerdinger is a mage and support considered by Riot a champion in the “hard difficulty”. He normally plays in top-lane, mid-lane, and support. Even if Riot considers a “hard” champion, I kind of disagree with it. All your gameplay has to be around the turrets, there are not a lot of mechanics evolving this champion. In terms of hitting enemies (the so-called “skilled shots”), yes, Heimer can be hard, but in general, there are a lotmore championswith more mechanics than him.

Heimerdingeris a great champion for people like you who will not be used to farming (term for killing minions and gaining gold) because the turrets will help you with that task. As for the timings of each ultimate, that’s only a question of playing with the champion and gaining macro gaming. “Macro gaming” is a general gaming term that means “choosing the right play to make, wherever it may be on the map, given the situation”.

Heimerdinger Abilities
Heimerdinger is a specialchampionbecause he has three variations of his ultimate, which means you can combine your ultimate with one ability and you’ll have a special ultimate. Every combination has a different purpose. But we will talk about it later in the article (don’t worry).
Passive
“Hextech Affinity” is Heimer’s passive and the only thing it does is to “game move speed while near allied towers and turrets deployed”. This is pretty simple: when you’re close to your team’s tower or your turrets (either the Q or the ultimate + Q), you’ll gain 20% movement speed, which means, the champion will be faster.

All playable Arcane characters in League of Legends
Arcane has many characters who are playable in League of Legends. The series brought significant attention to the game.
Q (“H-28 G Evolution Turret”)
The first ability, called “H-28 G Evolution Turret” - your Q - is a turret. Heimer deploys the turret in a specific location and it will last until it’s destroyed. Heimerdinger will stock (while there’s stock available, your champion can deploy the ability) a Turret Kit charge, up to a maximum of 3. These turrets will attack close minions, champions, or enemy towers.

W (“Hextech Micro-Rockets”)
When you press your W, also called “Hextech Micro-Rockets”, Heimerdinger unleashes a wave of five rockets that converge to the target location and fan beyond it up to the maximum range, with each one dealingmagic damageto the first enemy it hits.
If you have turrets on the ground and you hit your W, your turrets will deal 20% more damage within the 1000 range. This percentage can go up to 100% if you hit every five rockets in the enemy champion. Which rocket gives 20% damage to enemies and 40% to minions.

E (“CH-2 Electron Storm Granade”)
The E (“CH-2 Electron Storm Grenade”) ability is nothing more than a slow and stun ability (a mechanism that incapacitates a champion, making them unable to move, attack, cast spells, or use items). Heimer hurls a grenade at the target, detonating with the impact, giving magic damage to nearby enemies and slowing them by 35% for two seconds.
As the W, if you hit an enemy close to your turrets, all of them will deal damage within a 1000 range. The enemies hit at the center of the grenade are stunned for 1.5 seconds.
Ultimates (various names)
If you choose theultimate + Q,you’ll deploy a bigger and more powerful turret which will last for eight seconds and has a bigger range (350 to 450). This ability is good when you’re in the middle of a fight and you want to give more damage and still be protected. It will be harder for the enemies to destroy this mega turret.
For theultimate + W, Heimer will launch four waves of five rockets in quick succession, dealing magic damage. Enemies and monsters are dealt reduced damage from rockets beyond the first and further reduced beyond the fifth.Minions take 100% damage from every rocket. This ability gives more damage. It’s perfect for situations where you’re fighting 1v1 and you want to give a lot of damage to your enemy. For example, if you’re jungler is ganking your lane and stuns the enemy, you’re able to use your ultimate and W to give a lot of consecutive damage.
Finally, yourultimate + Ewill make Heimer hurl a massive grenade at a target location that bounced a fixed distance three times. The enemies caught can only be damaged once per cast but can be slowed and stunned multiple times if circumstances permit. Perfect to slow your enemies or stun them, giving space for your teammates to get to them and deal damage.

However, there is a “default” build for every patch and champion. For 14.22, here’s Heimerdinger’s “default” build, according toU.GG.
Heimerdinger Build: Top
On the top lane, Heimer is considered an A-tier champion with a 51.08% win rate, 0.8% pick rate, and 0.6% ban rate in 8.723 matches played.
Normally, it’s better to play with flash and teleport as your summoner spells. Some people also like to play with ignite, that depends on your playstyle and what you think is more important. As for runes, here’s a screenshot.
