Guide to Countering Heimerdinger as Annie

Tips for Playing as Annie against Heimerdinger

Striking killing blows on minions with Disintegrate enables Annie to farm extremely well early in the game.

Molten Shield is a good spell to cast to work up to Annie's stun, so sometimes it's beneficial to grab at least 1 rank in it early.

Storing a stun for use with her ultimate can turn the tide of a team fight.

Advice to Win Against Heimerdinger

Be wary of Heimerdinger's Upgrade!!!, as he can use it to find an answer to most trouble he gets into. Once his ultimate is down, go in for the kill!

It's better to destroy all of Heimerdinger's turrets at once with the help of creeps than to fight them one at a time.
