After spending a week constantly laning against heim's, I have concluded that he is the most annoying champ to play against personally. With that said, how do you guys succeed in this lane? His turrets prevent me from getting a lot of farm and make me lose most trades. What am I supposed to do?
Jungle ganks early, take a champ that can allin him before he gets more than 2 turrets down, stuff like that.
(or champs that can farm EXTREMELY well under tower)
honestly as frustrating (and dangerous) as it is, you have to just play stupid aggressive and get jungle help. You can't out passive play a Heim so if you start playing passive you will get your lane pushed up and never get it back.
You have to force him to back those turrets up and passive farm otherwise he will just push you up, plop his turret right into your face, and you are kind of S.O.L.
Meh I just let him push up to torrent and farm under there since AsI don't want my jungler to dive and die. Most midlaner a can farm under turrent. Or play liss, since she's one of my mains. Liss rapes heim, his turrents only hurt him cause they give me more zone control on my q. That or I play akali and just wait for that golden opportunity or if it doesn't I roam than come back to lane fed and just rape him with spellvamp. Wouldn't reccomend playing any champs your not super confident with against him. Kassadin is another great choice cause of his great farming under turrent, aoe, and roaming abilities. Another one a lot won't mention is wukong. A well played mid wukong will make is life hell.
But mainly just suck it up under turrent like a bitch and you will usually outscale him at some powerspike in the game. Learning these powerspikes is important. I use to ban him every game but after so many games against him in midland since that's what I main and I'm not always leader I've finally figured out a feel to play against him and you will too after enough games if you try. I don't even bother banning him anymore
Sorry for the typos, the new iPhone autocorrect is a fucking bitch from hell
I am sure this has been mentioned countless times but as counter intuitive as it sounds, be aggressive. He can't stun you until level 6, so break his turrets before he can put down more. Often, it takes perhaps one spell of two AAs to do so, then proceed to fight Heim as he has no mobility.
As well, picking a champion such as Yasuo, Talon, Akali or Lissandra with AOE clear and with abilities that lets them bypass turret shots is extremely helpful. Heimerdinger can do absolutely nothing against a wind wall or an ice claw in his direction. As well, Talon's combo naturally clears the turrets just by pressing R. Akali can shroud herself if she needs to from Heimerdinger's turret and can easily burst him down at level 6 or use his own turrets to escape.
Playing these champions against him is borderline cyber bullying.
Of course, even if you are using above champions, going aggressive still generally works well.
