Guide to Countering Ezreal as Heimerdinger

Tips for Playing as Heimerdinger against Ezreal

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 Ezreal

Ezreal is a very fragile champion so take the fight to him.

Ezreal is completely skill shot based, so make sure to keep minions in between you.

Mystic Shot applies on-hit effects including the Crest of Cinders.
