How to win lane as Heimerdinger against Warwick · 60% win rate over 260 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Warwick | I have one turret and no stun at Level 1, and his W speed closes the gap while his Q heals off my low HP — this is his single best window. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Second turret charge and slowing beams start fencing the wave, but he still out-sustains a straight trade, so it's even. |
| Level 3 | Heimerdinger | A third turret plus the beams begin zoning him off CS and XP — he can't drain what he can't reach. |
| Levels 4-5 | Heimerdinger | A full nest plus the CH-3X center-stun makes any W-speed walk-in suicidal — he's CC'd and can't out-DPS three turrets. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Infinite Duress runs me down and suppresses me in place, and I have no dash — his ult cancels my zone, so it's a coin-flip on my grenade. |
| First item | Heimerdinger | Liandry's/Rylai's plus a complete nest makes me the sieger he physically can't reach through the beam wall. |
| Two+ items | Heimerdinger | A drain bruiser can't out-stat the turret economy — I keep zoning and sieging while his only path in is a stunned death. |
Level 1 is his, not mine — I have one turret and no stun, and if I step up he gets W move speed to walk me down while his Q heals harder the lower I drop, so I concede the contact window and last-hit from max range. By Level 3 I've banked a second turret charge and the slowing beams start fencing him off the wave. Don't sit IN his execute range early; his passive wants me chunked so one walk-down resets him to full.
