Read from Ashe's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Heimerdinger.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Heimerdinger | Heimerdinger zones you off the wave at level 1 with turrets you can't out-trade. |
| Level 2 | Heimerdinger | Level 2 his turret DPS punishes any step-up while your slow does nothing to it. |
| Level 3 | Heimerdinger | At level 3 his turret nest keeps you off farm and out-trades your Volley. |
| Levels 4-5 | Heimerdinger | Levels 4-5 he compounds turret pressure and grenade poke against you. |
| Level 6 | Heimerdinger | Level 6 his empowered Electron Storm Grenade stun sets up all-ins you can't dodge behind turrets. |
| First item | Heimerdinger | With a first item his rocket and turret poke out-ranges your trading. |
| Two+ items | Heimerdinger | Two items in, his turret walls and stun disrupt your positioning and R engage. |
Levels 1-2 Heimerdinger already controls the lane: his turrets zone you off farm and punish any step-up, and your slow is useless against them, so play back and settle for safe max-range last-hits. His turrets cost mana and a long rebuild, so time your farm around the moment one dies rather than fighting the nest. Never stand where two turrets and the wave overlap. Your first real window is a support engage from the river brush while his grenade is down, not a straight trade.
