Heimerdinger vs Mordekaiser

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use turret zones to control the wave and force Mordekaiser to farm under pressure, denying him safe extended trades.
Prioritize lane pressure and control to prevent Mordekaiser from setting up his passive and isolation trades.

Trading pattern

Set multiple turrets before engaging and punish Mordekaiser when he walks into turret range with (E) stun and (W) poke.
Avoid fighting away from turrets and only trade when (E) is available to lock down Mordekaiser’s engage.
After Mordekaiser misses (E), step forward aggressively to pressure and force short trades.

Danger windows

Respect (E) pull followed by isolated (Q) damage as a major threat window.
Be cautious during (R) realm isolation, especially if he has health or item advantage.
Avoid extended trades when (E) is down or turrets are cleared, as Mordekaiser can force favorable duels.

Early game

Establish turrets early and hold (E) to punish Mordekaiser's attempts to pull or engage.
Avoid pushing without vision to reduce vulnerability to ganks due to low mobility.
Use (E) to interrupt Mordekaiser's approach and follow up with (W) and turret damage inside your zone.

Power spikes

Level 3: Full turret setup with (Q), (W), and (E) enables strong anti-engage trades; hold (E) for commitment.
Level 6: Choose (R) upgrade based on needed burst, control, or survivability to deny Mordekaiser's isolation and all-in.
First AP item: Turret and spell damage spike punishes Mordekaiser’s attempts to walk through your zone.

Win conditions

Maintain turret zones to deny Mordekaiser safe farming and force him into unfavorable trades.
Use upgraded (R) abilities to prevent dives and win objective setups with strong zone control.
Punish missed (E) pulls with immediate aggression and keep the wave controlled to avoid gank vulnerability.
