How to win lane as Heimerdinger against Trundle · 62.2% win rate (82 Emerald+ games, lolalytics, sampled July 2026) · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Anti-heal him — turret-poke, he dives your nest.
Track: Trundle's R — Subjugate (120–80s cooldown). Steals your stats. Avoid the brawl.
Read from Heimerdinger's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Trundle.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 you have one turret and no grenade, and Trundle's Chomp steals your AD in melee range — concede the contact window and just set up the nest. |
| Level 2 | Heimerdinger | Your second H-28G turret and its slowing electron beams come online — the dash-less Trundle eats free beam chip on every last-hit and his Q heal can't keep up. |
| Level 3 | Heimerdinger | Three turret sources plus beams tax every step a gap-closer-less drain-tank takes toward CS — he can't trade into a nest he must walk through to reach you. |
| Levels 4-5 | Heimerdinger | Three banked charges plus CH-2 Electron Storm Grenade make any Chomp all-in suicidal — land the direct hit mid-commit and the nest deletes him. |
| Level 6 | Heimerdinger | UPGRADE!!! adds a super-turret or wider stun, so his level-6 Subjugate drain fight just feeds your buildings instead of beating them. |
| First item | Heimerdinger | Your turret-architecture spike owns the siege — super-turrets out-push his wave and zone him off the choke, and his Pillar/Frozen Domain give him no way around them. |
| Two+ items | Heimerdinger | You stay favored through 2+ items because Trundle has no mobility to reach you before his late drain-tank sustain arrives — keep forcing the nest fight and end early. |
Level 1 is Trundle's only contact window — one turret, no grenade, so do not fight him melee-range or his Chomp steals your AD and shoves you off CS. Once your second H-28G turret lands at 2-3, the slowing electron beams turn the lane into a tax booth: Trundle has no dash to dodge them, so every step toward a last-hit eats beam chip, and his Q self-heal can't out-pace two turrets plus auto poke stacking on him. Last-hit from behind the turret line and let the nest grind him down.
