Heimerdinger vs Viktor

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use turret zones to control the lane and force Viktor to farm under pressure, denying him a calm scaling phase.
Pressure the wave actively to prevent Viktor from safely evolving his abilities and completing key items.
This is a control versus scaling matchup; Heimerdinger must maintain lane dominance and punish Viktor's immobility.

Trading pattern

Trade only when multiple turrets are active and (E) is ready to stun Viktor inside turret range.
Punish Viktor if he misplaces (W) or uses abilities solely for wave clear by committing to short trades.
Avoid fighting away from turrets and respect (Q) shield and (E) poke by spacing carefully before engaging.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (W) zone control is active, as it can stun after a delay and punish overextensions.
Avoid overpushing without vision since Viktor's immobility makes you vulnerable to enemy jungler ganks.
Respect the threat window when (R) ultimate is available; avoid committing to fights during this time.

Early game

Establish turrets before level 3 to maximize zone control and punish Viktor's attempts to farm.
Hold (E) to stun Viktor when he tries to approach turrets, avoiding using it for poke alone.
Avoid pushing without vision to reduce vulnerability to ganks due to low mobility.

Power spikes

At level 6, choose the (R) upgrade that best counters Viktor's playstyle: burst for kills, control for anti-dive, or survivability.
After your first AP item, pressure Viktor heavily as your turret and spell damage become more threatening.
Respect Viktor's level 6 (R) and item completion spikes by holding defensive cooldowns and avoiding extended trades.

Win conditions

Maintain turret zones to deny Viktor safe farming and force him into unfavorable trades.
Use upgraded (R) abilities to adapt your zone control against Viktor's scaling and to win objective setups.
Punish Viktor's cooldowns and poor (W) placement to create kill opportunities or force him out of lane control.
