Heimerdinger Takes the Competitive League of Legends by Storm
In a surprising turn of events, Heimerdinger, once considered a troll pick, has emerged as a dominant force in competitive League of Legends. Previously only seen as a niche champion, he has now become a popular choice among professional players.
Over the past week, Heimerdinger has been selected three times and banned twice, and he has emerged victorious in all of those games. What’s even more impressive is that he has an extraordinary average KDA of 25.0 during this period, making him the highest-performing champion on Patch 8.11. It is worth noting that Heimerdinger has been picked only 11 times in professional play, and he has lost only once. In the EU LCS, he maintains a 100 percent win rate over seven games.

The recent changes in the game’s meta have made bot lane Heimerdinger a preferred pick over traditional marksmen. This is a significant shift that demonstrates the impact of the current meta.
Heimerdinger’s laning phase is particularly strong due to his Q ability, H-28G Evolution Turret. This ability allows him to place up to three turrets, which provide him with excellent pushing power and defense against all-ins from opponents. Pairing Heimerdinger with champions that have strong crowd control, such as Fiddlesticks, creates a nearly impossible lane to gank and offers robust support for teammates attempting to engage in fights in the bot lane.
This meta shows no signs of fading away anytime soon. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the upcoming weeks as even the most competitive leagues devolve into exciting and chaotic battles.
