From my experience, I started out playing Heims the turrets way. What ended up happening more times than not was ranged champs out-ranging my turrets or beefy-ass bruisers just walking up and smashing them to bits. I kept hearing about the rockets-first thing, but dismissed it as bullshit.

After getting my ass kicked enough, I finally tried it. To my amazement, it worked out great. Properlu timed, I was able to consistently poke at my opponent(s) with the massive range, and repeatedly pushed them away. However, this build was agonizing to my mana, so I was finding myself more and more opening with a Mana Manipulator or rushing a Philo stone to Reverie for the regen/CDR either item (Soul Shroud or Reverie) adds.
