Heimerdinger

Professor Cecil B. Heimerdinger has outlasted almost every other seat holder on the Council of Piltover. Across his long tenure he has seen the city’s restless drive for advancement yield both remarkable breakthroughs and serious overreach, yet he has remained, at heart, a tinkerer who prefers workshops to Council chambers.

Plenty of Piltover‘s inventors are ambitious, and the City of Progress has no shortage of them. What separates Heimerdinger is his motive: he builds in order to help people. His unusual gadgets on the Rift reflect that outlook:

1. H-28 G Evolution Turret — a fast-firing cannon he sets down on the field, with a secondary beam attack, though it deals only half damage to towers.
2. Hextech Micro-Rockets — a salvo of long-range rockets that all converge on whatever spot he aims at, handy for reaching areas his turrets can’t cover.
3. CH-2 Electron Storm Grenade — a grenade he lobs that stuns any target it strikes directly and slows everyone caught in the blast around it, his primary tool for stopping enemies who try to get in close.
4. UPGRADE!!! — his ultimate, which summons no new device but instead empowers whichever of his abilities he casts next.

His passive, Hextech Affinity, is bound to his inventions: he gains bonus movement speed while fighting near a turret he has placed, a small mechanical reminder that Heimerdinger, whether he plays Mid or Support as a Mage, is never truly alone so long as one of his machines is standing. The kit suits a teacher and scientist whose long career has run on mana instead of brute strength, showing that a well-timed idea can outweigh sheer force.
