How to win lane as Heimerdinger against Caitlyn · 56.25% win rate over 320 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Heimerdinger | Level 1 is yours: your turret zones her before she has the range items to abuse you. |
| Level 2 | Heimerdinger | Level 2 stays yours as E poke punishes her auto wind-ups and her traps do nothing to a turret. |
| Level 3 | Heimerdinger | Level 3 you out-zone her with a planted turret and grenade while body-blocking her Q. |
| Levels 4-5 | Heimerdinger | Levels 4-5 still yours through level 4, holding the wave with turret pressure. |
| Level 6 | Caitlyn | Level 6 flips to Caitlyn: her lane-bully spike and range let her out-poke and dive your turret. |
| First item | Caitlyn | At first item Caitlyn's headshot poke and siege range out-pressure you and chunk your turret. |
| Two+ items | Heimerdinger | At 2+ items it returns to you as her front-loaded kit falls off and your zone out-scales her. |
Levels 1-4 favour you: plant your Q turret on the wave and use CH-3X Lightning Grenade to punish Caitlyn when she steps up to auto, keeping minions between you so her Piltover Peacemaker is body-blocked and her traps waste on your immobile turret.
