Who Wins
- You lose levels 1-3 due to Heimerdinger's turret harassment and superior early game damage output.
- At level 6, you gain kill potential if you can successfully engage, but Heimerdinger's upgraded turret still makes trades difficult.
How to Trade
- You should use bushes to avoid turret aggro, then look for quick Q-E combos when Heimerdinger steps too far forward.
- Focus on destroying turrets with your E spin when safe, then immediately back off to avoid extended trades.
Wave Control
- You want to freeze the wave on your side of the lane and wait for jungle assistance, as solo killing Heimerdinger is extremely difficult.
- When you do push, make sure to clear turrets first and push hard to reset the wave state.
Mistakes to Avoid
- You cannot afford to take extended trades in Heimerdinger's turret field, as the sustained damage will always favor him.
- Never chase Heimerdinger through his turret setup, as this typically results in your death rather than a successful kill.
