How to win lane as Singed against Heimerdinger · 47.69% win rate over 390 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Singed | Before his H-28G Evolution Turrets are placed you can run through Heimerdinger freely — contest the first wave with Poison Trail and deny him a safe setup. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Fling plus Mega Adhesive is an all-in threat but CH-2 Grenade counters it cleanly — the advantage is genuinely contested and depends on who blinks first. |
| Level 3 | Heimerdinger | His three-turret nest is online: standing in beam range while CH-2 Grenade is up means a stun into full turret damage, and there is no trade you win through that cluster. |
| Levels 4-5 | Heimerdinger | Proxy farming is your only real tool here — Heimerdinger's turrets beat your face-up pattern decisively, but he cannot stop you farming behind his wave. |
| Level 6 | Heimerdinger | His Upgrade!!! CH-2 Grenade is a screen-wide comet stun and his empowered rocket W covers your full run-past range — this is his absolute peak and you play macro, not combat. |
| First item | Even / skill | Rylai's Crystal Scepter makes every Poison Trail step a slow and every Mega Adhesive a near-certain root — the kit coheres and the advantage is now up for grabs depending on positioning. |
| Two+ items | Singed | At two items you are faster and tankier than a 1600-HP Heimerdinger with no dash — Fling into your cloud in the side lane ends him, and his turrets cannot follow you into a split-push. |
At level 1 you have one real asset: Heimerdinger has no turrets yet. Run straight at him with Poison Trail active the moment the wave meets — you are not trying to kill him, you are contesting the first minions and making him spend his movement to dodge your cloud instead of placing turrets freely. The moment his H-28G Evolution Turrets start stacking behind the wave, your ability to step up safely collapses. Accept that level 2 is a coinflip depending on whether you can bait a CH-2 Grenade before you Fling — if he has it ready, abort every engage. By level 3 his three-turret nest is a brick wall: do not walk into it for any reason, because the electric beam proc plus CH-2 Grenade landing while you are slowed in the cluster will delete half your health bar.
