How to win lane as Heimerdinger against Quinn · 48.96% win rate over 96 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Quinn | You have one turret and no grenade yet, so her Vault blind and Harrier kite out-poke you outright — last-hit and bank charges, do not contest. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | A second and third turret with slowing beams start contesting her poke, but she can still kite the nest — a genuine coinflip until your grenade is online. |
| Level 3 | Heimerdinger | With CH-3X up, any Vault-in eats your center-stun plus three slowing beams — your half of lane becomes a zone she can't safely enter. |
| Levels 4-5 | Heimerdinger | A full three-turret nest plus the stun grenade is your peak: trade whenever her Vault is down and zone her off CS. |
| Level 6 | Quinn | Behind Enemy Lines lets her roam to snowball another lane, and you have no dash to follow or rotate after her. |
| First item | Even / skill | Your Profane/Liandry siege spike re-walls the lane and objectives, but she can still kite — force fights into the nest where she must commit. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Two items in, your nest sieges objectives well, but a fed roaming Quinn farms side and picks you off — it stays even, so cash your lead first. |
Level 1 is hers — you have one turret and no grenade-stun, so her Vault (E) blind and Harrier-empowered autos chip you for free; just last-hit and bank Q charges. By level 2-3 a second and third turret with their slowing beams start contesting your half, and once you have the CH-3X Lightning Grenade the lane evens out hard. Do not throw the grenade as poke — it is your only hard CC and the entire reason she dies if she Vaults onto you. Eat a little Harrier poke, keep the wave central, and wait for her to over-step into beam range.
