So I was making my way down Mid Lane as the big eyeball known as Vel'Kozby, and I was spamming my taunt. You know, the "Your chance of survival is LESS than zero." I got all science heavy and crap. So I started thinking about Heimerdinger therefore. Then another thought came to me from a thread I made for Rammus earlier about an Iceborn change, but a Hextech Gunblade change came up in the thread and so then I realized...


http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-N887j7BStXU/VjK71jOxDgI/AAAAAAAAzgI/s8josqwuReU/s320/65345435.jpg 10% lifesteal and 20% spell vamp removed New Unique Passive - now heals for 15% of the damage dealt, 33% effective for aoe. RELOAD removed, no longer cools the item active down by 3 seconds part hit & single target.


The main thing about Heimerdingers turrets was they didn't apply spell vamp. It isn't rocket science people. Check out that big ol' buff.


UPDATE: I have confirmed this on PBE. This is no longer just "on paper speculation". I have confirmed, with Hextech Gunblade, Heimerdinger is healed from his turrets basic attacks. As a side note, the active of the item has a good of synergy with Heimerdinger as well.

Legally, no.

Actually, if the body is already dead, it is not illegal to eat it. Don't take my word for it, look it up!

How you ended up with the body of a dead little girl in the first place is probably the illegal part.

Depends where you are. I mean here it's completely illegal and you deserve to have your asshole destroyed in prison, But in some 3rd world countries she's fair game. "Get 'em while they're young and they'll be loyal forever." - RIP uncle Rick... I hope Susie was worth the prison time and sexual abuse that came with that...

None of the changes I've seen will help his turrets survive. And, as always, without his turrets, Heim is (/will be) a pretty limp donger. The counterplay will remain poking down his turrets before diving in. The punishment for ignoring this counterplay will remain losing 2(and sometimes even 3)v1 ganks or, if you're lucky or stupidly fed, still achieving only a Pyhrric victory

Damn it league, I thought performance enhancing drugs were against the rules. When did viagra get an exemption?

Voluug1311 votes

Since assassins will have problems sustaining their dongers.

You absolutely cannot portmanteau Heimerdinger with onthing other than donger. It is against the law in 58 separate countries.

This is just the excuse Riot needs to gut that thing. I don't care that he's not op, he's the living, breathing definition of anti-fun.

I just realized Hextech is now a must get on Summon-focused characters since if they heal for all damage dealt, any summons that are on a Summon-FOCUSED character are going to give their master a LOT of healing.

Yeah I was just thinking about Malzabutt. Will do wonders for him too :D

Dem voidlings. May need tear if you want to go that route though since pimping out voidlings is not kind on malz mana.

You've played multiple TahmKench, Teemo, and Fizz games. Many people hate those champs, and the catfish may have some of the most hard to balance stupid fucking mechanics ever made. The eat shit save and double health bar plus % bonus hp damage is so toxic and OP right now. They at least need to make the eat teammates impossible while a champ is hard cc'd or something bc it is just so strong right now that to balance it he'd have to have a weak kit for the rest of it.

In bronze though you're right, Heimerdinger is super toxic. No one knows how to play against him so he's super OP if you play him w/ any knowledge of how to play him right. In higher ranks people adjust better and it gets harder to play him, kind of like Amumu.

The Fast3 votes

Oh yeah. So hard to play in high elo. Not like they have among the highest winrates in high elo or anything like that. Lol.

Mathbalnase4 votes

Oh, yeah. Not like his playrate plummets from as high as 8% in bronze to 2% or less in 'high elo'

It's not like pick rates and play rates have any relation whatsoever, or that high tier players could be expected to simply not pick a niche champion in/against comps that would render them particularly vulnerable...

Then you remember that ADCs can apply Grievous Wounds on every auto...

This change makes AP Varus a lot more viable. Before, he'd be too squishy because neither spellvamp nor lifesteal would work.

Need Gold 4 Tent8 votes

AP varus will be stronger in general. If I recall correctly, his ult applies 3 stacks of blight right? if you can land 3 shots, ult and Q/E, that's 2 bursts of magic % procs on the enemy near instantly, not to mention the high ap ratio on his ult. Unless they did something to the numbers

Kitten of Evil2 votes

They lowered his ult's base damage, at least when I last checked. It'll be 100/150/200. Still has a 1.0 AP ratio though.

Meep Man3 votes

It applies max stacks of Blight over the duration though, a huge buff for AP Varus
