Heimerdinger vs Yorick

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Heimerdinger should use turret zone control to pressure Yorick and deny his safe scaling opportunities.
Prioritize maintaining lane pressure and forcing Yorick to farm under turret fire to disrupt his grave and ghoul setup.

Trading pattern

Trade only when multiple turrets are active and (E) is available to stun Yorick as he approaches.
Punish Yorick after he uses (E) or when his graves and ghouls are not prepared, reducing his pressure.
Avoid fighting away from turrets and do not waste (E) on poke; hold it to punish Yorick's engages or dives.

Danger windows

Yorick is most dangerous when his ghouls are ready and (E) marks you; respect his cage (W) and Maiden pressure.
Heimerdinger is vulnerable when turrets are cleared or (E) is down; avoid overextending or fighting without turret zones.
Be cautious of ganks when pushing; Yorick's low mobility means you can be punished if overextended without vision.

Early game

Establish turrets early and hold (E) to punish Yorick's attempts to approach or set graves.
Avoid pushing without vision to prevent ganks, as Yorick's low mobility can be exploited by enemy junglers.
Use (W) and (E) combos inside turret range to punish Yorick when he tries to last-hit or trade.

Power spikes

At level 3, Heimerdinger's full turret and spell combo is online; hold (E) to punish Yorick's approach.
At level 6, use (R) to upgrade your turret or spells for burst or control, forcing Yorick to respect your zone or fight away.
Yorick's level 6 with Maiden alive is a danger window; Heimerdinger must be ready to use upgraded abilities defensively and avoid extended fights.

Win conditions

Win by controlling turret zones and forcing Yorick to farm under pressure, denying his grave and ghoul setups.
Use upgraded (R) abilities to win short trades or deny Yorick's dives and tower pressure.
Maintain lane control to prevent Yorick from safely summoning Maiden and applying splitpush pressure.
