Heimerdinger vs Yasuo

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use turret zones to control space and punish Yasuo's melee approach and mobility reliance.
Prioritize lane pressure and deny Yasuo safe access to minion waves for dashes to limit his mobility and all-in potential.

Trading pattern

Trade only when multiple turrets are active and (E) is ready to stun Yasuo during his dash attempts.
Punish Yasuo's cooldowns by engaging after his (W) is down, as his projectile block is disabled.
Use (W) and upgraded (R) spells to layer burst damage when Yasuo is caught in turret zones.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (W) is available, as it can block key projectiles and enable his all-in.
Avoid extended pushing without vision since Yasuo's mobility and gank threat increase your vulnerability.
Respect Yasuo's level 6 (R) window for lethal all-ins following knockups; hold defensive cooldowns and turret zones.

Early game

Establish turrets early to define the lane and force Yasuo to farm under pressure.
Hold (E) to punish Yasuo's engaging dashes through minions, avoiding wasting it on poke.
Avoid pushing without vision to prevent Yasuo's high mobility from enabling ganks.

Power spikes

At level 3, Heimerdinger's full turret, rocket, and grenade combo enables strong anti-engage trades; hold (E) for committed engages.
At level 6, upgrade (R) to adapt turret control or burst, forcing Yasuo to respect your kill pressure or anti-dive potential.
Respect Yasuo's level 2 (Q)+(E) combo for early all-in attempts; avoid giving him spacing and cooldown windows to start trades.

Win conditions

Maintain turret zones to deny Yasuo safe farming and punish his mobility reliance with (E) stuns.
Use upgraded (R) abilities to control fights and prevent Yasuo's dives or to burst him down when caught.
Control wave states to limit Yasuo's mobility and force him into unfavorable trades inside turret range.
