Guide to Countering Aurelion Sol as Heimerdinger

Tips for Playing as Heimerdinger against Aurelion Sol

Spreading out Hextech Micro-Rockets leads to more reliable damage and more efficiency against multiple targets, but focusing it creates the biggest impact.

The success of Electron Storm Grenade is very important to Heimerdinger's survival. The slow and stun both are capable of keeping enemies in place long enough to punish them, but it is also the first line of defense against a surprise attack.

Turret placement can be a deciding factor in a battle. Against most enemies turrets are best when they can support each other, but if the enemy has a lot of area of effect damage your turrets can be destroyed quickly. Placing turrets in brush can lead to a surprise attack in your favor.

Advice to Win Against Aurelion Sol

He gains speed while chasing in a straight line, but taking damage makes him lose that momentum.

Try to get inside his orbit, since his stars can't hurt you up close.

His stars disappear while stunned or silenced, giving you an easy opportunity to fight him.

His Starsurge ability can grow to cover a huge area - don't stay in the same place too long!
