Early game (levels 1–5)

Only the very first level is neutral; the moment Heimerdinger drops his H-28G Evolution Turrets he takes the lane. His turret line zones you off the wave and shreds you if you walk up, and his W rockets plus E grenade stun punish any approach. Snipe a turret with Q through minions when you can, but he rebuilds fast, so accept a farming role from max range rather than contesting his zone.
