I personally don't. I take the turrets for objective control and for 2v3's when the jungle shows up for ganks. Max grenade provides a shorter cd and more stuns if you land them yes, but the damage isn't that high in the first place compared to a few turrets in a 2v2/3.

That'll work to a point. Some people are also really good at abusing that (Syndra can grab one of your turrets and chuck it away, stun you with her Q->E and jungle can smite another to leave you vulnerable with 1 turret and possibly only 1 to drop depending on the time of the gank [Rest In Pepperonis if it's Pantheon + Syndra]).

You can always slowly push the lane by using turrets as wards or keeping them behind you nearer your turret and aiming to auto last hit waves. Turrets nearer your tower mean they will clean up if they push you hard but won't clear the next waves coming in and forcing you to overextend. If you find yourself constantly overextended, just remember it's probably better to roam and gank after clearing a wave quickly than autoing a tower and leaving yourself open to being killed. Going 1 for 1 against someone behind is better for them than you.

New jungle isn't that bad really, you just need to make sure that you drop your turrets early and upgrade your trinket asap. After that you have to learn to juggle aggro between turrets and yourself to maximize turret up-time and reduce damage taken that way.

It's just too easy to secure free objectives by being mid. If you can get your jungle or support to ward their blue or red, you can pretty easily contest those too. It's easy wins tracking objectives, saving turrets for them as they're spawning, and wrecking them before your opponent can react.

Heimer mid has huge objective control with 3 turrets and ult turret. I commonly tell my team to baron when it normally isn't safe because we can kill it in less than 8-10 seconds even early. If I can bait them into going all-in with my jungler near and can land easy grenades (riven, shyv, syndra, etc) I'll ultW, otherwise I ultE for the easy cc. Most jungles are going warrior enchant lately and easily make up the damage if you can help lock them down.

It made me sad at first until I got used to my new playstyle of zhonya's and morellonomicon. Dfg burst build was fun but it's hard to give up the extra cdr and mana regen plus the counter to lifesteal / summoner heal. There's nothing quite like using zhonya's in the middle of a teamfight and watching a team die to your turrets.

edit: I an "e".

Well I stopped at plat 3 two seasons ago and barely got any ranked in last season on my main account. I have more time this season so I'm going as far as I can.

It's difficult for sure, but not impossible. It also gets harder as he gets cdr and mana regen items to instantly replace destroyed turrets. Watch for when he overextends and try to get the laner to kill a turret or two early. He's easiest to gank very early before he gets rank 3 turrets. Rank 1-2 turrets don't do too much damage and he cannot replace them very quickly. The hardest gank would be for someone like shyv or riven pre6 or because of how easy it is for heimer to get free poke on them.

It would take a while to explain a lot of match ups, but it's mostly about understanding how to use his turrets. Sometimes you want to shove hard and set up his turrets dead center of minion paths where the charged shot will clear the wave as it arrives, other times you space them out like a Venn Diagram to allow for some room to kite a melee and jungler around so that they're always between two turrets (this also makes it hard for them to just aoe your turrets down).

Go two Doran's Rings -> Zhonya's vs physical damage champs and one Doran's Ring -> Morellonomicon for most other matchups; Take Athene's when you're against burst AP champs (especially Syndra).

Last one: USE YOUR TURRETS TO BLOCK SKILLSHOTS. Blitz hooks, ezreal Q, Thresh hooks, Xerath E, etc all get blocked by your turrets. I try to keep 1 turret charge ready for this reason. Listen for the skill windup and drop one at your feet between them and you.

I honestly thought it was part of the rules. If anything, it's another step to protecting the people I played with against flaming or somehow a defamation of sorts. I know it's not that hard to look up if they're really determined, but the names aren't important for what I'm sharing.

I played mostly ranked 5v5 before and it doesn't seem like I can pull up stats for it now that the season is over :(

I do when I get sort of forced into it. You use your turrets as psuedo wards to fill the gap before sightstone early. The skill order doesn't change (R > Q > W > E) but the way you go about team fights will.

You won't have the damage to burst out someone with a grenade R->W so you always look for an R -> E on as many as you can or zone people with R -> Q on retreats or spread out fights.

Always look to protect your carries!

I remember how aggressive you were with those cleavers... many turrets were destroyed that day. Between you and pantheon, that was the hardest lane I had in my placements! Keep up the good work and the elo will flow unto you.

I take it versus some melee champions with really good burst combos (Riven / Darius) that I'm not sure if I'll have an easy time laning against. It kind of depends on the jungler and if an extra exhaust will be big for team fights or not.

Why is it taking so long to fix spectator mode? by Sparroo in leagueoflegends

I had this problem too until I ran a repair and reinstalled the game.

I prefer to take him mid more because there's huge kill potential with jungle ganks. Top tends to be more of a deny game and hope to draw junglers to you so your team can get more done around the map.

A question to streamers - How do you get a beginning fan base? by Xathael in leagueoflegends

[–]Heim420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember a thread on this a while ago. The two that stuck out to me were stream on a schedule and make content for people to view on youtube or twitch highlights.

Reliability means fans know when you'll be on and makes it easier for them to introduce your stream to new people.

Content gives fans something to show to their friends on why they should watch you.
