Couple words from Heimer main
I want to talk about position of Heimer in this season. I was maining him is S4 and S5, and has about 800 ranked games with him. He was strong in S4, but I stopped to play him when Heca and reworked Sion started dominate on toplane in S5 - Heimer has nothing to stop them. Later Riot added Ludes and this was last thing to finish Heimer. Heimer mains have nice winrates, but I think they pick him not in every game (he's very situative) and play in duo - because he needs proper team combination.
This season you can say "bye-bye" to Heimer.
Masteries:
- No more 5% cdr (he needs to go into support tree to get this 5% cdr)
- Now if Heimer wants HP from masteries he needs to go absolutely useless for him Resolve tree. I doubt someone will choose Resolve for him, so this means he'll be even squishier than he was.
- Warlord's Bloodlust - Tryndamere and Yasuo who always were one of best counterpicks vs Heimer, now are even more stronger.
Items:
- Buff for Maw of Malmortius - this means best item to counter Heimer (Hexdrinker) will be purchased even more often.
- Buff for Guinsoo's Rageblade - another item with AOE attack that can clears Heimer's turrets very fast. Now even Teemo can coutner Heimer while it's always was conversely.
I have to say that this will be very hard season for Heimer mains.
