Read from Heimerdinger's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Tryndamere.
This is Heimerdinger's own plan; across 364 pooled games the lane is leaning Tryndamere.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Tryndamere | He's a melee duelist and you're at your weakest -- one turret, no stun -- so his level-1 Spinning Slash gap-close plus Fury-stacked crit autos win the first melee contact. |
| Level 2 | Heimerdinger | Your second turret charge and the slowing electron beams come online; his spin-in now eats chip and a slow he can't out-DPS, so the lane tilts to you. |
| Level 3 | Heimerdinger | With a fuller nest plus the slowing beams, every Spinning Slash engage costs more than he can trade back while slowed and chipped inside the buildings. |
| Levels 4-5 | Heimerdinger | Three turret charges plus the CH-3X center-stun make any spin-in all-in suicidal -- you hold the grenade, punish the commit, and zone him off CS entirely. |
| Level 6 | Heimerdinger | UPGRADE!!! gives a wider, longer-stun grenade that locks him even if he dashes through the lob -- your hardest commit window of the lane. |
| First item | Heimerdinger | Your sieger item spike entrenches the nest; he still can't enter without eating stacked beam DPS and a center-stun, so the architecture war stays yours. |
| Two+ items | Tryndamere | R Undying Rage survives your turret beams at 1 HP for ~5s, then his crit scaling and splitpush out-stat the immobile nest -- close the game before this arrives or he takes it. |
Tryndamere's only real window is level 1: you have one turret and no CH-3X grenade yet, so his Spinning Slash gap-close plus Fury-stacked crit autos can chunk you hard at melee range -- don't greed a forward turret, set it back and last-hit safe. By level 2-3 a second turret charge and the slowing electron beams start taxing him; the moment he spins in, the beams chip and slow him, and he can't out-DPS two buildings while taking that. He has no ranged answer to your W Hextech Micro-Rockets, so poke him off the wave whenever his Spinning Slash is on cooldown and he can't escape your turrets.
