Tips for countering Heimdinger and all those d**m turrets

funkdubious2··2 votes·848 views

As Kayle, encountered an aggressive Heimdinger. Was fine until about level 6, when he got more abilities,

Next thing I know, I'm swimming in turrets shooting at me from all directions. And an (E?) that was hard to dodge, seemed like very little indication of activation, thus dodging was pure luck.

Looking at his stats: -he starts off higher attack, and continues to always be higher attack with every level. Score Heimdinger. -he starts of slightly less health, but easily out scales kayle health over levels. Score heimdinger. -health regen is 16% higher, and gets 10% more kick per level. Score heimdinger. -kayle only really has initial slight advantage with health, armor, magic resist. Levling removes this advantage. Score heimdinger.

Add a TOP lane mate like Ashe... and Kayle gets DPS'd into obvilion.

Im assuming only legit action is switch lanes, but then they're just getting pummeled by a barrage of zero risk ranged attacking by Heim and Ashe.

So they were duo topping against you?

If so then your bottom lane (if they had a jungler) should switch with you because that sounds like adc and support up top. While you do have experience advantage, you run into the problem of lots of poke as you experienced. Kayle isnt able to deal with many ranged foes until level 11. That is built in as part of who she is atm. Weak till 11, strong at 11-15, and a hyper carry come level 16.

Only way to survive until level 11 is to pull a Singed with buying 2 or 3 Dark Seals and a corrupting potion.... or to rush a hextech gunblade for sustain. Then, it is just use your Q and E to last hit from a safe distance at the minions to get your farm. Use W to help you sustain.

Hopefully your jungler and mid take advantage of their hard shove play style and kill them off and then you can back from time to time and will make the enemy more wary of trying to hard shove.... so they will likely end up shoving and not poking at you as much. Otherwise, they will be fairly easy to keep ganking since they are both fairly squishy. Couple that with the fact that if either the jungler or the mid has some good engage.... they jump in, you ulti them during the initial burst.... and then you kill them (if all goes well).

All in all, they wanted to try pressuring you to feel useless so that you never got to your level 11 then level 16 power spikes. Keep calm, and just ride it out, safely get farm and stay in exp range.

That is, unless your bottom lane is vs 1 opponent, and then you just switch with them as i mentioned before. Then it is like top lane with different gank points to look out for.
