How to win lane as Heimerdinger against Mordekaiser · 56.65% win rate over 263 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Heimerdinger | Morde has no dash and no early burst that out-races your sustain, so even one banked turret lets you trade and stockpile charges safely. |
| Level 2 | Heimerdinger | Your second turret and slowing beams wall the lane off — he eats chip every time he steps up to last-hit, and his W shield bleeds away faster than it heals pre-6. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | It's roughly even before your grenade-stun is online: he can E-pull and Q-slam, but he can't out-DPS a partial nest yet either. |
| Levels 4-5 | Heimerdinger | A full three-turret nest plus the CH-3X center-stun makes his E-pull-into-Q-slam all-in suicidal — he gets stunned in overlapping beams before the slam lands. |
| Level 6 | Mordekaiser | Realm of Death strips your whole nest and drags you into an isolated 1v1 while stealing your stats — the one window an immobile yordle loses. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item is a coinflip: Liandry's/Rylai's lets you kite his siege, but a fed Morde landing R on cooldown can still flip the duel — it comes down to dodging his E. |
| Two+ items | Heimerdinger | Long-term you out-zone and out-siege him from a rebuilt nest, just don't let a fed Morde one-shot through the buildings inside R — close the lane first. |
This lane is yours from the first wave: Morde has no dash and no early burst that out-races your sustain, so bank a turret, then two, and make every last-hit cost him HP — his W shield bleeds out faster than it heals pre-6. Level 3 is the one even beat, because he can E-pull you into a Q slam before your grenade stun is online: place turrets behind you and don't hug the terrain where his pull lands. By 4-5, with the full three-turret nest and the CH-3X center-stun banked, his E-pull-into-Q all-in is suicidal — punish him for even walking up.
