Syndra pick up his turrets and fling them into your tower. Viktor Not as effective early on, can lazer 2 or more after first upgrade (1000g) and 1 shot them. Chogath Nothing counters this fuckhead.

Is syndra good in soloque?

eh, dinger's turrets just seem to be too healthy after about level 5 or 6 when he upgrades them enough

and yeah, cho'gath is godlike

Malzahar is better at it to be honest. He can use his E at a safe distance and have his Voidling kill it. Cho Gath can, but he could get zoned.

I really dislike malzahar in soloque. If i'm duo its okay, but without good communication I don't think he's the best.

AP Nunu. Snowball Heimy, munch on the turrets, snowball the turrets, snowball the Heimy. Snowballs and munching for days, and Heimy is just sitting there, wringing his hands around his wrench. Sometimes, it really is that simple.

Lol! I should try this. What would I max first? Q or E?

Xantak1 votes

I'd say Q first. That way you can demolish them quicker. And have the health sustain to aggravate Heimy.

I will always pick Garen into him, partially because he's a comfort pick and partly because I have experience in that matchup as him. You can survive his burst while also dealing your own, and if you grab a healthy supply of potions on each back you can push back against him and his turrets fairly easily.

Of course a low mobility, AD mid laner doesn't always work, but in the few cases where it will Garen might be a good thing to try out. I'll admit it's much easier when Heimer goes to a longer lane, but still.

I don't think it'd be the greatest idea to do garen mid in a ranked game, lol.

But for toplane sure after a spirit visage garen can build damage after that and take none. Garen has always been a comfort pick. on top of that with the new cleaver.. he's a lot of fun.

I have a problem with a lot of those champs on that list that cant poke through minions. other ranged mages that can poke through minions seem good enough. Thanks for imput

Malz is a really good one. You have your answer which is mines as well. You just bombard his base camp with your 0.8 ratio nukes

Anything that can kill his turrets with relative ease; a donger without turrets is pretty bad. I feel like Karthus would be a nightmare to face, especially since Karthus E gives him mana regen, so he can just sit in lane and farm up.

If he comes out of laning phase with 0 kills, he loses. As long as your team doesn't fight in his turrets.

Syndra she can throw his turrets away. Happened to me first time I played against her as Heim. I've done well with Cho like you suggested. Maybe Morgana Karma as they can use soiled ground and both their Q's to take out turrets.
