Heimerdinger vs Kled

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Heimerdinger must control the lane by establishing turret zones to punish Kled's melee all-ins and limit his engage options.
Prioritize lane pressure and deny Kled's early all-in attempts by forcing him to walk into turrets and crowd control.
This is a control versus early all-in matchup where Heimerdinger aims to maintain zone dominance and survive Kled's burst windows.

Trading pattern

Use turret zones to force Kled to farm under pressure, then punish his approach with (E) stun and follow up with (W) or upgraded abilities.
Trade only when multiple turrets are active and (E) is available to lock down Kled during his (W) burst window.
Avoid fighting away from turrets or when (E) is down, as Kled's all-in threat increases significantly then.

Danger windows

Beware of (Q) tether landing followed by (W) burst autos, especially around level 2-3.
Avoid extended fights when Kled is near remount health, as he can bait overcommit and turn trades.
Be cautious when turrets are cleared and (E) is on cooldown, as Kled's dive threat and mobility increase.

Early game

Start by placing multiple turrets early to set up a strong zone before Kled can engage.
Hold (E) to punish (Q) pull attempts and avoid using it for poke to prevent giving him an opening.
Avoid pushing without vision to reduce vulnerability to Kled's aggressive level 2-3 all-ins and jungle ganks.

Power spikes

Level 3 is a key spike: full turret setup with (Q), (W), and (E) enables strong anti-engage trades; hold (E) for Kled's commit.
Level 6 grants (R) upgrades that let Heimerdinger adapt for burst, control, or survivability; choose upgrade based on fight needs.
Respect Kled's level 2-3 spike when (Q) and (W) are ready, as his early all-in threat peaks; avoid extended trades then.

Win conditions

Maintain turret zones to deny Kled safe engages and force him to take turret damage before committing.
Punish Kled's missed (Q) pulls and forced (W) cooldowns with aggressive trades using (E) and upgraded abilities.
Use upgraded (R) to control dives or burst Kled during objective setups, securing lane dominance and transitioning to mid game control.
