How to win lane as Heimerdinger against Vayne · 55.34% win rate over 103 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Heimerdinger | Level 1 favours you because Vayne's 550 range and no early Tumble reset can't contest a turret-backed lane. |
| Level 2 | Heimerdinger | Level 2 stays yours as a second point in Q/W lets your turret and rockets out-DPS her stepping up for a proc. |
| Level 3 | Heimerdinger | Level 3 is yours once E stun plus turret zone punish any Tumble she throws to reach a Silver Bolt. |
| Levels 4-5 | Heimerdinger | Levels 4-5 keep the edge as your full turret nest walls off her short-range trades entirely. |
| Level 6 | Heimerdinger | Level 6 UPGRADE!!! gives you a wider stun and beam turrets that delete her before three Bolts land, while Final Hour adds no waveclear. |
| First item | Heimerdinger | At first item your poke and E-W burst chunk her while she's still building Ruined King with no answer. |
| Two+ items | Vayne | At 2+ items Vayne flips ahead: Runaan's and Ruined King shred your turrets and her invis/Condemn beat your zone. |
At levels 1-2 you own the lane: drop your first H-28G turret between you and Vayne and she simply cannot trade into turret plus autos with only 550 range and no Tumble reset yet, so poke her with W Micro-Rockets on the wave and deny her step-ups.
