I need tips on how to counter heimerdinger he just sits in any lane and can just zone you with his turrets. And his ult just kills you in one shot , I think the only counter is yasuo cause his wind wall. And the only way that you can win is to tell your jungler to come gank you.

Options include: Play a siege mage that can farm from outside of Heimer's turret range (or kill the turrets without taking any damage). You'll want someone with mana sustain (ex: Xerath). Play Nunu and eat the turrets while hitting Heimer with your snowball. Play Cho'Gath and sustain through the lane until level 6. Then, use your ult to deal with Heimerdinger's turrets. Play Mordekaiser or Vlad and simply out-push + out-poke Heimer and his turrets. Play Syndra and toss/push Heimer's turrets to a less-helpful location. Play any champion with a longer attack range than Heimerdinger's turrets (and use them as extra farm). Play a tanky champion in-lane and take smite+Cinderhulk. It still works, though not as well as it used to (can be used as a Heimerdinger counter to decent effect). Sion is the best champion for this strategy.

If your teamcomp doesn't have long-range poke or AoE, Heimer will give you a bad time. Poke lets you whittle him down despite his turrets, and also lets you take turrets out early game (late-game he just has more). AoE will either shred his turrets or force him to space them out, reducing the damage you take. You can also dodge their lasers to avoid a lot of pain. Never go in when the turret lasers are all charged.

If you're melee, your best bet is probably to just waveclear as well as you can and last-hit under turret - you won't be countering his pushing power. If your jungler ganks for you, try to take out at least one of his turrets first. If you're mobile but squishy, consider counterjungling or proxy farming instead of engaging him directly - you may have a better chance fleeing the enemy jungle than trying to jump directly on Heimer. Lane swaps can also help - someone on your team is probably better at dealing with him than you are.

Heimerdinger is at his most vulnerable when he pushes forward to set up a new line of turrets. Attack him before he can finish setting it up. Never facecheck unless you can see his turrets. Never attempt to fight his ult-turret, and make sure your team isn't lined up for its lasers to hit you all. Don't expect ganks to work if he's anywhere near his turrets with Zhonya's available.

Kills his turrets.... it is that simple. They have a longish cd and cost quite a bit of mana, so if he has to spam them he will run oom or just run out. Once all of his turrets are down trade with him. Most of his damage comes from his turrets so if he doesn't have any he is really weak.
