| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Heimerdinger | You-favoured L1: your turret out-trades Jhin's slow Q and he can't contest CS under it. |
| Level 2 | Heimerdinger | You-favoured L2: the second point into Q or turret compounds your zone before Jhin has any burst. |
| Level 3 | Heimerdinger | You-favoured L3: the online E-Q combo punishes his long reload windows. |
| Levels 4-5 | Heimerdinger | You-favoured L4-5: stacked turrets starve his farm and deny reload space. |
| Level 6 | Heimerdinger | You-favoured L6: your beam UPGRADE turret and doubled grenade range outzone his open-lane Curtain Call. |
| First item | Heimerdinger | You-favoured first item: turret DPS shreds him before he can chain fourth-shot resets. |
| Two+ items | Heimerdinger | You-favoured 2+ items: a turret nest walls his immobile ult angles in every teamfight. |
Heimerdinger dominates levels 1-2: your turret plus a single CH-3X grenade out-trades anything Jhin can do with his slow, whiff-prone Q, and he can't clear the turret while last-hitting so you starve his CS under your control.
