Quinn vs Heimerdinger

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Quinn should leverage her ranged poke and mobility to pressure Heimerdinger and deny him a calm, turret-controlled lane.
This is a snowball vs control matchup where Quinn must avoid giving Heimerdinger time to set up turrets and scale.

Trading pattern

Trade short bursts using (Q) blind and autos when Heimerdinger walks up for minions inside turret range.
Hold (E) to disengage from turret zones or interrupt his (E) stun attempts.
Avoid extended trades when turrets are active or (E) is down, as Heimerdinger punishes prolonged fights in his zone.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Heimerdinger has multiple turrets set and (E) stun is available; avoid walking into turret zones.
Quinn is vulnerable when (E) is down, as she loses her primary disengage tool.
If Heimerdinger pushes hard without vision, be wary of enemy jungler ganks and avoid overextending.

Early game

Start by harassing Heimerdinger early to prevent him from safely placing turrets.
Use (E) to disengage from turret zones and avoid getting stunned by (E).
Crash waves quickly to create roam opportunities and avoid prolonged fights under turrets.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to crash waves and roam, turning lane pressure into map tempo.
After first marksman damage item, pressure isolated targets with ranged burst and keep (E) ready for escape.
Respect Heimerdinger's level 6 (R) upgrade which strengthens his zone control and burst potential; avoid fighting near turrets when it's active.

Win conditions

Use ranged poke and (Q) blind to deny Heimerdinger safe farming and turret setup.
Crash waves to create roam windows with (R) and apply side-lane pressure or assist other lanes.
Punish Heimerdinger when his (E) or turrets are down by forcing short trades or all-ins to snowball lane advantage.
