How to win lane as Aatrox against Heimerdinger · 48.8% win rate over 875 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Heimerdinger | Level 1 favours Heimer — his turret chip and W rockets poke you for free while you can't answer. |
| Level 2 | Heimerdinger | Level 2 stays his as the turret nest zones your CS before your all-in tools exist. |
| Level 3 | Aatrox | At 3 your combo lets you W-pull him off his turrets for a favoured all-in. |
| Levels 4-5 | Heimerdinger | Levels 4-5 tilt back to Heimer whenever a full turret wall neutralizes your engage. |
| Level 6 | Aatrox | At 6 R lets you tank the field and drain-kill him through his poke. |
| First item | Aatrox | First item plus MR keeps his poke from out-trading you and you sit on him. |
| Two+ items | Aatrox | Late your R dive still beats him 1v1, though his turret zone control shines in sieges. |
Heimerdinger is a ranged poke lane that punishes your low early mobility — at levels 1-2 his turrets chip you every time you go for CS and his W micro-rockets poke from range with no way for you to answer. Don't walk into a set turret nest; you'll just take free damage. Farm what you safely can and wait for level 3. Save E charges and Flash-awareness for his CH-3X grenade (E), which is the stun that enables everything he does to you.
