Ornn vs Heimerdinger

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Prioritize stable farming and durable trades to survive Heimerdinger's turret zones and poke pressure.
Accept a medium lane pressure role focused on avoiding turret control and scaling into impactful teamfights with engage and crowd control.

Trading pattern

Trade only when (E) stun is on cooldown and turrets are low or cleared.
Use (W) brittle trades combined with terrain (E) knockups to punish Heimerdinger standing near turrets.
Avoid engaging without terrain for (E) knockup or when Heimerdinger's upgraded (R) is ready for burst or control.

Danger windows

Beware fights when Heimerdinger has multiple turrets active combined with (E) stun ready.
Avoid extended trades inside turret zones where Heimerdinger's damage and control peak.
Exercise caution before level 6 and before your tank item when your durability is lower against his poke and burst.

Early game

Avoid extended trades early before your first tank item, as Heimerdinger's turret setup punishes melee approaches.
Use (Q) to create terrain for safe (E) knockups only when turrets are cleared or Heimerdinger is forced away.
Play around minion waves to deny Heimerdinger easy turret placement and reduce his zone control.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) long-range engage; use it when allies can follow or Heimerdinger is cornered near terrain.
First tank item spike allows you to absorb turret poke and contest lane more safely.
Respect Heimerdinger's level 6 (R) upgrade and first AP item spikes by avoiding fights near multiple turrets and his full combo.

Win conditions

Survive early poke and avoid turret zones to reach your first tank item and level 6.
Use (Q) terrain and (E) knockups to punish Heimerdinger when turrets are cleared or (E) is down.
Coordinate with your team to engage with (R) and layered crowd control to create picks and teamfight advantages.
