edit: i dunno, heimer really needs that blue buff most of the time to get that first tower, or else he srsly runs out of mana (again from my friend's experience not my own), idk if mybe ur runes/masteries are specced for better mana regen or something, but it always seems like he gets blue at like lvl 7-8 almost like clockwork. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + 9/21/0 -> http://tinyurl.com/39laydp MPen red / MP5plvl yellow / CDRplvl blue / Flat HP quint Exhaust / Teleport Exhaust gives you a disable you otherwise wouldn't have. Teleport lets you save or down towers as needed. Ghost/Cleanse are (somewhat) covered by Highlander. QWQWQR / R>Q>E>W core items: Doran's Ring, Health Pot Doran's Ring Sorc Boots Zhonya's Rageblade -> whatever's needed (Lichbane, GA, Banshee's Veil) Laning: with a decent partner and prudent use of Q + W, you will control your lane. Pick up your second ring early, and you'll have no problem spamming your skills. Alpha nearby jungles whenever you've got an opening. If the enemy laners aren't disable/harass heavy, you can manage solo, but I don't like to. Midgame: You are the warder. You'll most likely be the best farmer on your team, and your naturally fast movespeed gets you around the map. In teamfights, keep your distance after alpha striking. DO NOT GO IN FIRST. Even with def masteries, runes, and two Doran's, you can't take focusfire. Try to Alpha KS with Highlander -> reset cooldown for another Alpha -> teamfight won. Yi is very composition dependent, needing awesome tanks and initiators to cover him. Lategame: If you've established map control and/or your allies can live without you, push by yourself. Alpha Strike = pushed lanes. Rageblade + E + R = dead towers. Never miss an opportunity to teleport and down a tower. I've won many games this way. I'm lvl 26 right now, just want to finetune my few champions before I hit 30. | ||

I dunno, we should just 1v1 in a practice game sometime or something. I play a really campy, gay heimer and I'm yet to have any trouble on lanes short of help coming up (though after I Annie raped a Heimer, I'm not looking forward to ever having to play that matchup from the Heimer side). | ||

All the while I kept jungling at quite a fast pace and wasn't in danger of dying at all. 2 more reported players~ On July 24 2010 04:53 Mogwai wrote: it's not that they're not important, it's that they take a long time and a lot of effort for anyone else to kill turrets, which will put them further behind than the heimer.

I use ghost because it lets me delay my boots for a little bit since archangels staff is fairly expensive and I want it asap. Clarity and reduced time on summoner spells keeps my mana at comfortable levels unless I am being severely harassed. As a note with my set-up/style I generally never need blue buff. Regarding killing his turrets: At low levels (read: 1-3 maybe 4) you spend a lot of time waiting around to get the last hits, I've seen many players using this time to attack turrets and then switching to mobs for last hits. It's more effective then you think especially if you have smite. | ||

Who the hell cares if you kill the turrets? I laned against a Kennen once that really persistently took out my turrets. Not like I could do anything about it, but I didn't give a fuck, I was last-hitting in peace because he was so intent on taking down turrets. And ofc once I hit 6 I got golem and just pushed down both mid towers then started pushing every outside tower down, then I got bored at 18 minutes, killed baron and ended the game. | ||

It's more effective then you think especially if you have smite. i have serious problems with taking smite as mid, yeah, you counter turret or w/e but it seriously gimps alot of solo mids since they seem to be more dependent on summoner spells than other ppl (ever since i started going ghost/flash on ez, i started dying muuuuuch less). Also, smite loses effectiveness really quickly, and imo, should largely be reserved for junglers or ppl who have to go 1v2 but arent particularly strong laners. | ||
