How to win lane as Quinn against Heimerdinger · 55.08% win rate over 118 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Quinn | I own level 1 outright — my attack range and Harrier auto-reset burst beat his lone level-1 turret before his kit comes online. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | It's a coinflip at 2: my W steroid is strong but his second turret and W-rocket poke start to contest my step-up, so it's a skill trade. |
| Level 3 | Heimerdinger | His turret triangle and E grenade are online — he walls me off the minions and out-zones any all-in I try. |
| Levels 4-5 | Heimerdinger | Levels 4-5 are his peak: three turrets plus rocket poke punish every walk-up and his E-stun-into-turret-focus can delete me. |
| Level 6 | Quinn | R (Behind Enemy Lines) is my window — I roam past his wall and make plays on the map instead of grinding into his zone. |
| First item | Even / skill | My lethality/crit first item plus Q-blind on his turret-and-rocket trades pulls the lane back to even. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Skill check at 2+ items: his turret zone owns a static fight but I out-tempo him with R roams, so whoever converts their map pressure wins. |
Levels 1-2 are mine — my range and Harrier auto-resets shove him off the first creeps before his turrets matter, so trade hard and deny him an early plant. Once he gets a turret or two down and E-grenade online by level 3, the lane flips: the turrets chunk me if I walk up to last-hit and he walls me off the wave. Bait his E stun — if I can blind a turret with Q during a step-up I survive, but never facetank the triangle.
