Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1HeimerdingerHis turret beams and Micro-Rockets out-range your single Q and zone you off the wave — with no E dash yet you have no way to close the gap.
Level 2HeimerdingerHe plants the full turret triangle and walls your melee CS range; your passive shield soaks one poke but it's on cooldown and you still can't trade back at level 2.
Level 3Even / skillWith Q and E up you can finally Hookshot off a wall over the turrets and Q-recast the true-damage second hit — but a center-hit grenade can still cancel the dash, so it comes down to whose timing is cleaner.
Levels 4-5Even / skillYou out-trade him with W's percent-HP outer edge and self-heal when his grenade is down, yet his turret field punishes any mistimed dive — genuinely even.
Level 6CamilleHextech Ultimatum isolates him into the arena away from his turrets, and your Q-W-E burst deletes a squishy AP carry inside it — your one clean kill stage.
First itemEven / skillYour bruiser/lethality first item spikes you, but his turret upgrade and AP item match it and the beams still body-block your engage — a coin-flip on execution.
Two+ itemsHeimerdingerUpgraded turrets plus Liandry/Rylai slows and his grenade reset out-zone your all-in; his control only grows while your dive tempo falls off.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Heimer owns the first three levels: his turret beams and Micro-Rockets out-range your single Q and wall you off the minions before you even have an E dash, so don't walk into the turret triangle to last-hit — take what CS you can with Q and eat a little poke. Your passive shield absorbs one rocket or beam regardless of damage type, so bait a poke onto it rather than into your face, but it's on a cooldown so don't waste it. There's no all-in here yet — with one ability and no wall-dash threat, just survive the zone and watch for him to overextend planting a turret.
