Heimerdinger vs Warwick

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use turret zones to control the lane and force Warwick to approach through damage traps.
Pressure early to deny Warwick extended melee fights and prevent his sustain from dominating.
This is a control vs snowball matchup; maintain lane pressure to avoid giving Warwick low-health chase windows.

Trading pattern

Trade only when multiple turrets are active and (E) is ready to stun Warwick's engage.
Punish Warwick after he uses (E) fear or misses (R) suppression by landing (E) and following with (W).
Avoid fighting away from turret zones where Warwick can outlast with healing and sustain.

Danger windows

Respect Warwick's level 6 (R) suppression for pick potential; avoid extended trades when it's available.
Be cautious when (E) is down, as Warwick can engage more safely with healing and fear.
Avoid overextending without vision to reduce risk from Warwick's gank follow-ups or all-ins.

Early game

Set up turrets before level 3 and hold (E) to punish Warwick's engage attempts.
Avoid pushing too hard early to reduce gank vulnerability and keep wave control.
Use (W) poke layered with turrets to chip Warwick before he commits to melee trades.

Power spikes

Level 3: Full turret, (W), and (E) kit online; hold (E) to punish Warwick's engage.
Level 6: Choose (R) upgrade based on needed burst or control to deny Warwick's all-in suppression.
First AP item: Turret and spell damage significantly increase; keep turrets alive to maximize pressure.

Win conditions

Maintain turret zones and control wave to force Warwick into unfavorable melee trades.
Use upgraded (R) abilities to deny Warwick's dive attempts and secure objective setups.
Punish Warwick's cooldowns and sustain windows by landing (E) stuns and layering turret damage consistently.
