Read from Yasuo's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Heimerdinger.
This is Yasuo's own plan; across 590 pooled games the lane is Yasuo-favoured.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yasuo | Level 1 goes to Yasuo since Heimer has no turrets yet and is a walk-up poke target. |
| Level 2 | Yasuo | Level 2 goes to Heimerdinger — his first turret already contests the wave. |
| Level 3 | Heimerdinger | Level 3 flips to Heimerdinger once his turret beams plus Micro-Rockets zone you off CS. |
| Levels 4-5 | Heimerdinger | Levels 4-5 stay Heimer's: his full turret line makes diving without minions lethal. |
| Level 6 | Yasuo | Level 6 stays Heimer's — UPGRADE!!! is 100s but a defended turret still walls your dive. |
| First item | Yasuo | First item is yours: Last Breath punishes any Heimer who steps past his turrets. |
| Two+ items | Yasuo | With 2+ items you out-scale him hard and dash turret-to-Heimer to delete him. |
You own Level 1 before his turrets exist — Heimer is a squishy immobile mage you can walk onto and Q poke freely. Punish him then, because it gets much worse from level 2 once his kit lands.
