Renekton vs Heimerdinger

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Renekton must leverage early lane pressure and high agency to deny Heimerdinger safe turret setups and scaling opportunities.
Prioritize controlling the wave and forcing short trades to prevent Heimerdinger from establishing his zone control and turret advantage.
This is a snowball vs control matchup where Renekton aims to snowball early leads before Heimerdinger stabilizes with turrets and upgrades.

Trading pattern

Engage trades with full fury using (E) dash in, empowered (W) stun, (Q) heal, then exit with second (E) to avoid turret damage.
Punish Heimerdinger when his (E) stun is on cooldown or turrets are cleared to minimize his zone control.
Avoid using both (E) casts forward without a safe exit path to prevent being locked down by turret damage and (E) stun.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Heimerdinger has multiple turrets active and (E) stun available, as entering turret zones can lead to lethal damage.
Avoid committing to trades when both (E) dashes are used forward without exit, as Heimerdinger can capitalize with turret damage and (E) stun.
After Heimerdinger reaches level 6 and upgrades abilities, respect his increased burst and control to avoid unfavorable all-ins.

Early game

Use level 1-3 to aggressively stack fury and trade short bursts with (E) plus empowered (W) before Heimerdinger completes turret setups.
Avoid extended fights inside turret zones; instead, clear or force Heimerdinger to use (E) defensively before committing.
Maintain wave control to prevent Heimerdinger from freely placing turrets and forcing last-hit under pressure.

Power spikes

At level 3, use full (Q), (W), (E) combo with high fury to burst Heimerdinger before his turret zone is fully established.
At level 6, activate (R) to gain health and damage, converting short trades into all-ins if Heimerdinger is low or turrets are disrupted.
Respect Heimerdinger's level 6 (R) upgrade which enhances his zone control and burst; avoid extended trades when his upgraded ability is ready.

Win conditions

Snowball early by stacking fury and forcing empowered short trades to chip Heimerdinger before he sets turrets.
Deny turret placement by controlling wave state and punishing (E) cooldown windows to reduce his zone control.
Use level 6 (R) all-in power to dive or force fights when Heimerdinger is low or turrets are cleared, securing lane dominance and plates.
