Who Wins

  • You lose levels 1-3 as Heimerdinger can zone you with turrets and poke freely while you lack gap closing ability.
  • At level 6, you win the all-in if you can reach him with your ultimate, as your burst damage and healing will overwhelm his defenses.

How to Trade

  • You need to wait for Heimerdinger to use his stun grenade poorly, then immediately engage with E-Q combo while his turrets are repositioning.
  • Focus on short trades where you can proc your passive quickly and disengage before taking too much turret damage.

Wave Control

  • You should freeze the wave near your tower early to force Heimerdinger to overextend for farm, making him vulnerable to ganks.
  • Once you have items and levels, you can start slow pushing to build minion waves that will tank turret shots during your all-ins.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • You must avoid fighting in Heimerdinger's turret nest without minions to tank the damage, as you'll take massive poke before reaching him.
  • Never use your E aggressively when his stun grenade is available, as getting stunned in his setup guarantees significant damage or death.
