Heimerdinger vs Ezreal · Bot

The same lane is not played the same way in Silver and in Diamond: pick your level, the advice changes. Signed in, Olymps opens on your rank. Coaching, not statistics — the abilities and Riot's cooldowns are the same at every level.
Make him spend Arcane Shift, then stun him.
Keep minions between you and his bolt.

After he blinks, stun, drop a turret, then rockets.
How the lane plays · Gold – Platinum
Ezreal wins the long-range poke game if you stand in the open; you win by controlling zones with turrets and punishing his blink being down.
Ezreal's Q (Mystic Shot) is his poke. Stay behind minions, and use Q (H-28 G Evolution Turret) to hold ground, so his bolts hit the turret or a minion.
Trade around his E (Arcane Shift) cooldown. Once he blinks, E (CH-2 Electron Storm Grenade) and W (Hextech Micro-Rockets) are much harder for him to dodge.
R (UPGRADE!!!) into E gives you a strong lock-down window. Ezreal's R (Trueshot Barrage) can hit you from anywhere, so don't sit at low health near the wave.
Play it aggressive
After he uses E (Arcane Shift), land E (CH-2 Electron Storm Grenade) onto him and follow with W for a short trade.
When his Q gets blocked by a minion, step up, drop a Q (H-28 G Evolution Turret) and poke with W.
When his wave is pushed into your turret, set up turrets at the edge of the wave and pressure him there.
Play it safe
Walking up to the wave with no minions in front lets him land Q, then W detonates for a heavy poke trade.
Don't go in for a stun when his E (Arcane Shift) is available: he can blink out and punish with a bolt.
At low health, respect his R (Trueshot Barrage) when you're pushing alone or after a long trade.
Their threats · Riot's cooldowns
Long-range bolt that speeds up his other spells and builds his attack speed. Keep minions in the bolt's path and avoid walking in a straight line.
The orb sticks to you and pops when something else hits you, so he can combine it with Q or E. Don't stay in his line of fire with a mark on you.
Blink that escapes your stun and homes onto the nearest target, preferring a marked one. Bait it out first, then commit to the trade.
Your combo
››Place the turret first, stun with E when his E is down, then finish with W as he tries to leave.

Everything about Heimerdinger →How this is written
Our coach reads both kits exactly as Riot publishes them for the current patch — abilities, cooldowns, costs, ranges — and writes the lane for one level at a time: Iron – Silver, Gold – Platinum, Emerald – Diamond, Master+. Every number in the text is checked against Riot's data; a line that cites anything else is dropped. No win rates, no tier lists: coaching, not statistics.
