The nest out-shoves even your metronome — W the turrets with the wave, shield the grenade, and conduct from beyond the complex.
Track: Heimerdinger's E — CH-2 Electron Storm Grenade (11s cooldown). The stun makes his turret nest lethal — dodge it before committing anything.
Read from Sivir's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Heimerdinger.
This is Sivir's own plan; across 926 pooled games the lane is leaning Sivir.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Heimerdinger | Heimerdinger's level 1 turret immediately controls the lane and punishes any step-up. |
| Level 2 | Heimerdinger | At 2 his turret plus W rockets out-trade your early Q pokes. |
| Level 3 | Heimerdinger | Level 3 his turret field zones you off CS and denies clean trades. |
| Levels 4-5 | Heimerdinger | Through 4-5 the multi-turret setup keeps you pinned and farming from range. |
| Level 6 | Heimerdinger | His level 6 upgrade and E stun make an all-in far scarier than your engage. |
| First item | Heimerdinger | At first item you still can't kill him under turrets and his AP keeps them threatening. |
| Two+ items | Heimerdinger | With items his turrets still deny your farm and space, so the lane stays his even if he fades in teamfights. |
Heimerdinger owns levels 1-2: the moment he drops a turret he controls the CS line and any step-up to trade eats turret beams plus a W rocket fan, so you're forced to farm passively with Q from max range. Ricochet clears the turrets faster than he can plant them, so make the wave the target rather than the man. Never step into the beams for a last-hit. Keep Spell Shield for the grenade, because a stun in his zone is the one thing that turns a shove into a death.
