Who Wins
- You lose early 1v1s heavily due to Heimerdinger's turret setup and superior range, with no meaningful level spikes changing this dynamic.
- Post-6 you gain significant 1v1 potential once you hit ranged form, but Heimerdinger's R+W combo can still threaten you if you're not careful with positioning.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern involves using Q to slow Heimerdinger and clear turrets while weaving autos, then immediately backing off before he can retaliate with full combo.
- Never commit to extended trades early game as his sustained damage through turrets will always win.
Wave Control
- Focus on freezing the wave near your tower to farm safely and prevent Heimerdinger from establishing a strong turret setup in lane.
- Only push when you can clear his turrets efficiently with Q and have jungle pressure to prevent ganks.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never try to all-in Heimerdinger when he has 3 turrets up and his abilities available, as his burst potential with R+W or R+E can easily kill you.
- Don't get impatient and overextend for CS - missing some farm is better than feeding kills that will snowball the lane further.
