Kled vs Heimerdinger Counter Pick

The range gap reads 550 against 125, and Heimerdinger does not even hold it himself. H-28 G Evolution Turret does the standing, with a rapid-fire cannon and a pass-through beam that punishes anything walking a straight path toward the Revered Inventor. Kled wins 46.1% of 102 games on patch 16.13.1, a thin sample, though the underlying problem is structural rather than statistical.

Kled’s weakest defensive stat is magic resistance at 28, and Heimerdinger’s damage is entirely magic. Hextech Micro-Rockets converge on his cursor, so sidestepping does little at close quarters, and CH-2 Electron Storm Grenade stuns whatever it hits directly, which is generally a champion mid-Jousting. UPGRADE!!! then doubles down on whichever of those matters most in the moment. The counterplay is the shackle: Bear Trap on a Rope out-damages any single turret trade if the pull connects, and 345 move speed against 340 makes the approach marginally cheaper. Skaarl’s health is the buffer that makes that walk survivable, since 410 base health leaves almost nothing once the mount is gone. Heimerdinger’s 19 armor rising to only 90.4 is the softest part of him, so the fights Kled wins are the ones entered after a turret has already been cleared and the grenade is on cooldown. The Inventor even finishes with the larger health pool, 2,343 at level 18 against 1,838.
