Heimerdinger vs Annie Matchup Summary

The Heimerdinger vs Annie matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 5 recent matches analyzed, Heimerdinger wins with a 60.0% win rate compared to Annie's 40.0%, giving Heimerdinger a 20.0 percentage point advantage. Heimerdinger dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights.

734Annie

This substantial economic advantage means Heimerdinger consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game.
