| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Heimerdinger | Heimerdinger's level-1 turret and rocket auto-attacks out-trade your empty early kit. |
| Level 2 | Heimerdinger | At level 2 his second turret plus W grenade zone you off the wave and outpoke you. |
| Level 3 | Heimerdinger | Through level 3 the full H-28G turret grid keeps you pinned and farming at range. |
| Levels 4-5 | Heimerdinger | At levels 4-5 his sustained turret and grenade poke still outpaces your pre-6 damage. |
| Level 6 | Veigar | At 6 your Primordial Burst plus Event Horizon stun finally gives you a lethal all-in that beats his zone. |
| First item | Veigar | With a completed item your stacked Q burst combo one-shots his squishy frame. |
| Two+ items | Veigar | Your infinite AP scaling overwhelms Heimerdinger in every teamfight once you land Event Horizon. |
Heimerdinger wins levels 1-2 outright: his turrets and rocket auto (Q) out-trade you while you have no burst, so hang back, last-hit with Baleful Strike from range, and never step into turret range to melee CS.
