Read from Tryndamere's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Heimerdinger.
This is Tryndamere's own plan; across 364 pooled games the lane is leaning Tryndamere.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 you can walk him down before the first turret is ever placed. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 is his: a turret plus 1325-range rockets out-range everything you have. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 his grenade stuns on 11s and the nest punishes every step in. |
| Levels 4-5 | Heimerdinger | At levels 4-5 his stacked turret nest and W poke zone you out, favoring Heimer. |
| Level 6 | Tryndamere | At 6 UPGRADE!!! amplifies his grenade, and his 100s ult beats your dive window. |
| First item | Heimerdinger | At first item his R-upgraded turret and poke items re-establish the zone, favoring Heimer. |
| Two+ items | Tryndamere | With two-plus items you can dive him when his grenade is down and R is up, favoring you. |
Level 1 is yours before a turret exists — walk him down. After that his nest zones you off CS, and CH-2 Electron Storm Grenade only stuns a direct hit: the outer ring just slows, so eat the edge rather than the centre.
