How to win lane as Draven against Heimerdinger · 49.73% win rate over 730 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Draven | You out-trade his fragile body whenever you catch him past the turrets. |
| Level 2 | Draven | At 2 your W lets you dive the turret zone and punish him. |
| Level 3 | Draven | W and E let you burst past his beams and win every trade. |
| Levels 4-5 | Draven | Sustained Axe damage beats his turret-based zone DPS. |
| Level 6 | Draven | Whirling Death all-in kills his immobile frame at 6. |
| First item | Draven | A first crit item lets you one-combo him before turrets matter. |
| Two+ items | Draven | Even at 2+ items your Axe burst out-duels the squishy, immobile Heimer. |
Heimerdinger's turrets contest the wave, but he's fragile and immobile, so once you have W you can burst through the zone and win any trade you catch. Dodge his E grenade, last-hit patiently under the turret pressure, and set up an all-in on his stun cooldown.
