Who Wins
- You lose early trades heavily due to Heimerdinger's turret setup and superior range, but post-6 you gain significant kill pressure with R-empowered trades if you can get on top of him.
- Your level 1-2 is particularly weak as you lack gap closing tools and sustain against his poke.
How to Trade
- Look for short Q-W-E trades when his turrets are down or poorly positioned, then immediately disengage before he can retaliate with full combo.
- Extended trades favor him early due to turret damage, so focus on quick burst patterns until you have R available.
Wave Control
- Let him push early and farm safely under tower where his turret setup is less effective, then look to freeze the wave near your tower once you have items.
- Avoid pushing into him as this gives him optimal turret positioning and makes you vulnerable to ganks.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to fight him in his turret nest or when he has 3 turrets up, as the sustained damage will overwhelm you even with E active.
- Avoid using Q aggressively without a clear escape plan, as getting caught in his turret field often results in death or heavy trades.
