Heimerdinger vs Sona Matchup Summary

The Heimerdinger vs Sona matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 6 recent matches analyzed, Sona wins with a 83.3% win rate compared to Heimerdinger's 16.7%, giving Sona a 66.7 percentage point advantage. Sona dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Heimerdinger players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Sona leads by 818 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Sona has a strong advantage in this matchup. Heimerdinger players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Sona overextending. Avoid prolonged trades and wait for team fights where positioning and coordination matter more. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.
