How to win lane as Senna against Heimerdinger · 52.83% win rate over 1,556 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Senna | Level 1 you have autos and W-Q burst before any turret exists, so the lane is yours. |
| Level 2 | Senna | Level 2 you still out-trade him with support CC before the grid forms. |
| Level 3 | Senna | Level 3 remains your window while he's only placed one turret. |
| Levels 4-5 | Heimerdinger | Levels 4-5 both turrets are up and the wall of DPS out-zones your slow autos. |
| Level 6 | Heimerdinger | Level 6 UPGRADE!!! supercharges his turrets and your R offers no dodge to a static grid. |
| First item | Heimerdinger | At one item his turret plus rocket damage still out-trades your soul stacks in lane. |
| Two+ items | Heimerdinger | At two-plus items his zone control remains the lane-phase king even as your global scaling closes the gap. |
Levels 1-2 are your best trading windows: Heimer has no turret wall yet, so W-Q-auto with support CC can genuinely chunk him before he sets up. Contest melee minions and shove the first wave to deny his turret placement rhythm.
