How to win lane as Heimerdinger against Yone · 49.22% win rate over 386 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yone | Level 1 you have one turret and no grenade — his auto-attacks and Q strikes walk the lone turret down and out-trade you before the nest exists. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | A second turret and the slowing electron beams arrive — his step-in poke now costs him health on the way out, evening it. |
| Level 3 | Heimerdinger | With the nest forming and beams slowing every approach, his commit-reliant kit gets taxed each time he steps in to trade. |
| Levels 4-5 | Heimerdinger | Three charges plus the CH-3X center-stun make a full nest — any Q3 dash-in is deleted while he's frozen before he can recast E out. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | His R dashes and knocks up clean through the turrets onto your immobile body, but your UPGRADE!!! super-grenade answers if you land the center-stun as he lands. |
| First item | Heimerdinger | Your first-item nest architecture peaks — you out-siege and zone the lane you already controlled. |
| Two+ items | Yone | Crit and the Spirit Cleave cone shred the turrets while Soul Unbound snaps his body out of bad dives — the immobile yordle gets out-scaled. |
Level 1 leans his way — you have a single turret and no grenade, so his auto-attacks and Q strikes can walk that one turret down and chunk you each time you step up to it. Drop your first turret defensively behind the minion line, bank charges, and don't trade autos with him in the open. By 2-3 the zone starts shifting to you: a second turret plus the slowing electron beams mean every time he steps in to last-hit or poke, he leaves the beam range slowed and chunked. Don't waste W-rockets chasing — farm behind the nest and let the beams tax his approach.
