| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Heimerdinger | Heimer's turrets and rockets zone you off CS at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Heimerdinger | Level 2 his turret poke and Grenade stun keep you pinned. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | At 3 a brief skill window opens as your combo comes online. |
| Levels 4-5 | Heimerdinger | At 4 his fuller turret setup re-establishes lane control. |
| Level 6 | Yone | Your level 6 dash-in R beats his turret zone before an upgrade root. |
| First item | Heimerdinger | At first item his upgraded turrets and W stun re-stabilize the lane. |
| Two+ items | Yone | Yone out-scales and dives past Heimer's turrets with items. |
Heimerdinger walls you off levels 1-2: his H-28 turrets (Q) chip you every time you go for CS and Micro-Rockets (W) add 1325-range poke, so concede farm and never walk into the CH-2 Grenade (E) stun. Trading into the turret line loses before you have items.
