Notes
the author's own wordsDon't want to interact all that much with your opposing laner? This Heimerdinger build lets your minions do all the work for you. The whole focus is on buffing and enhancing your waves and turrets to the maximum. You have insane pushing power, strong survivability and will probably never need a gank because of your self sufficiency.
