Heimerdinger vs Quinn

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Heimerdinger should focus on controlling the lane through turret zones and punishing Quinn's melee approaches to deny her farm and pressure her early.
This is a control versus roam matchup where Heimerdinger must maintain lane pressure to prevent Quinn from crashing waves and roaming effectively.

Trading pattern

Use turret setups to force Quinn into your zone, then trade with (E) stun followed by (W) and turret damage.
Punish Quinn when her (E) is down as she loses her main disengage.
Avoid fighting away from turrets where Quinn's range and mobility give her advantage.

Danger windows

When turrets are cleared, Heimerdinger's zone control drops significantly; avoid extended fights.
(E) allows her to disengage or reposition; respect this cooldown to avoid getting kited or all-in'd.
Overpushing without vision increases risk of ganks or Quinn roaming; hard push only with map awareness and ping roams.

Early game

Establish turrets early to zone Quinn and force her to farm under pressure.
Hold (E) to punish Quinn's engages or escapes, avoiding wasting it on poke alone.
Avoid pushing without vision to reduce vulnerability to Quinn's roaming (R) and ganks.

Power spikes

Level 3: Full turret, (W), and (E) combo enables strong anti-engage trades; hold (E) for commitment.
Level 6: Choose (R) upgrade to enhance burst, control, or survivability based on fight needs and force Quinn to respect your upgraded threat.
First AP item: Turret and spell damage increase, making Quinn's approach through turrets more punishing; keep turrets alive.

Win conditions

Maintain turret zones to deny Quinn safe farm and force her into unfavorable trades.
Use (E) stun inside turret range to punish Quinn's engages or escapes, turning short trades into kills.
Control wave state to prevent Quinn from crashing and roaming, forcing her to stay and lose map pressure.
