Heimerdinger vs Gragas Counter Pick

Four hundred and twenty-five units of attack range separate these two, 550 against 125, and Gragas crosses that ground at 330 base movement against 340. Body Slam is his committed gap-closer, and it stops on the first enemy unit in its path, a description that a deployed H-28 G Evolution Turret fits perfectly. Heimerdinger wins 60.5% of 152 top lane games on patch 16.13.1, difficulty Easy.

Gragas is by far the sturdier champion: 640 base health to 558, 2,595 at level 18 to 2,343, 38 base armour to 19 and 123 to 90.4 at maximum level. All of it pays out inside melee range and nowhere else. Hextech Micro-Rockets converge on the cursor from long distance and the grenade stuns a direct hit, so the approach costs health before it starts, and UPGRADE!!! reinforces whichever of those the situation needs. Magic damage into 32 magic resist keeps the exchange honest rather than free. Explosive Cask remains the equaliser, knocking Heimerdinger out of the turret cluster he depends on, and Happy Hour tops Gragas up between attempts. His 558 base health, 82 below the other side, means one caught reposition resets an entire turret setup, which is the real risk in a matchup otherwise controlled from distance. Difficulty ratings of 8 against 5 mean the harder champion is the one ahead.
