Heimerdinger vs Kassadin Matchup Summary

The Heimerdinger vs Kassadin matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 11 recent matches analyzed, Heimerdinger wins with a 54.5% win rate compared to Kassadin's 45.5%, giving Heimerdinger a 9.1 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Kassadin controls the early laning stage, but Heimerdinger outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Kassadin needs to press advantages before Heimerdinger reaches their power spikes, while Heimerdinger should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Heimerdinger leads by 0.7s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Heimerdinger players can confidently pick into Kassadin and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Kassadin away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Kassadin dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 66.7% win rate — a 33.3 percentage point lead over Heimerdinger. This lopsided early game means Kassadin can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Heimerdinger is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 80.0% win rate — 60.0 points above Kassadin. Extended games heavily favor Heimerdinger, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.

If Heimerdinger survives the laning phase without falling too far behind, the matchup flips in their favor.
