Vault past the turrets onto him, burst him before he repositions, and his zone can't stop your all-in.
Track: Heimerdinger's E — CH-2 Electron Storm Grenade (11s cooldown). His self-peel stun. Dodge it.
Read from Quinn's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Heimerdinger.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Quinn | You own level 1 outright — your attack range and Harrier auto-reset burst beat his lone turret before his kit comes online. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | It's a coinflip at 2: your Heightened Senses steroid is strong, but his second turret and rocket poke contest every step-up you make. |
| Level 3 | Heimerdinger | His turret triangle and 11s grenade are online — he walls you off the minions and out-zones any all-in you try. |
| Levels 4-5 | Heimerdinger | Levels 4-5 are his peak: three turrets plus rocket poke punish every walk-up, and his stun into turret focus deletes you. |
| Level 6 | Quinn | Behind Enemy Lines is your window — roam past his turret wall and make plays on the map instead of grinding his zone. |
| First item | Even / skill | Your lethality/crit first item, plus poking between his rocket volleys, pulls the lane back to even. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Skill check at 2+ items: his turret zone owns a static fight but you out-tempo him with R roams, so whoever converts pressure wins. |
Levels 1-2 are yours — your 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 has two turrets down and the grenade online at 3, the lane flips: the turrets chunk you on every last-hit and he walls you off the wave. Bait the 11s grenade out before you step up to trade, and never facetank the triangle.
