Read from Renekton's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Heimerdinger.
This is Renekton's own plan; across 560 pooled games the lane is leaning Renekton.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Renekton | His H-28G turrets are not yet placed — abuse the first wave auto-range window to deny setup and build an HP lead before his poke pattern exists. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Both of you are feeling out grenade cooldown; neither side has a decisive edge, and mistiming your E into a fresh CH-2 stun hands him first blood. |
| Level 3 | Heimerdinger | His turret nest is forming and CH-2 gives him a combo-interrupt; your all-in now requires burning his grenade first, which he can play around. |
| Levels 4-5 | Heimerdinger | Two turrets on the wave create a permanent poke tax on any E entry — you can only safely all-in during the four-second window after CH-2 lands. |
| Level 6 | Heimerdinger | Dominus gives you the HP buffer to absorb turret chip, but his UPGRADE!!! R adds rocket burst and a stun that still interrupts empowered W mid-animation. |
| First item | Heimerdinger | Stridebreaker gives you the slow to stick, but his full turret nest plus first AP item means the damage math no longer favors a prolonged 1v1 inside his nest. |
| Two+ items | Heimerdinger | His AP items scale his UPGRADE!!! rockets and turret damage exponentially; your melee pattern cannot enter his zone — take objectives and let your team engage him. |
Level 1 is your only moment of clean access — Heimer has no turrets down yet and his autoattack range barely beats yours. Step up aggressively, auto-harass him off the first minion wave, and deny his H-28G placement. The second he drops his first turret, your margin shrinks. At level 2 you have one real window: his CH-2 Grenade is on a long cooldown, so count it. E in, bank 50 Fury, hit empowered W the instant you land — the 1.5-second stun means his turrets cannot save him. If you land that combo clean he either burns Flash or dies, and the lane is functionally won. If he lands the grenade on your entry, abort immediately; his turret autos while you are stunned will chunk you to half.
