Heimerdinger vs Thresh Matchup Summary

The Heimerdinger vs Thresh matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 18 recent matches analyzed, Thresh wins with a 55.6% win rate compared to Heimerdinger's 44.4%, giving Thresh a 11.1 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Thresh controls the early laning stage, but Heimerdinger outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Thresh 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 damage output, where Heimerdinger leads by 683 DMG/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Thresh 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 Thresh 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.

Damage
980Heimerdinger
297Thresh
Heimerdinger heavily out-damages Thresh by 683 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Thresh should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Heimerdinger's sustained damage advantage take over.

9,926Thresh
Heimerdinger generates a commanding 1,488 more gold per game than Thresh. This substantial economic advantage means Heimerdinger consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game.

Thresh 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 Thresh can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Late game (25+ minutes) is equally balanced, with Heimerdinger at 50.0% win rate — only 0.0 points ahead of Thresh. Team fight execution and macro play determine the winner at this stage, not champion matchup advantage.

However, the margins are slim enough that either champion can win at any stage with the right plays. Focus on taking advantages when you have them rather than waiting for a specific game phase.
