| Levels 4-5 | Heimerdinger | Through levels 4-5 stacked turrets out-trade your poke and punish every step forward. |
| Level 6 | Heimerdinger | At 6 his UPGRADE!!! ult makes diving him lethal while your channel gets interrupted. |
| First item | Heimerdinger | Even at first item his turret uptime blunts your spike and denies clean all-ins. |
| Two+ items | Heimerdinger | Late, Heimer's zone control denies the flank and cluster your ult needs, keeping him ahead. |
Heimerdinger out-zones you at levels 1-2: his turrets deny you free last-hits and every step toward the wave costs HP, so you cannot build early style stacks or find a windwall trade that matters.
