Based on 8 recent matches analyzed, Soraka wins with a 50.0% win rate compared to Heimerdinger's 50.0%, giving Soraka a 0.0 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Heimerdinger controls the early laning stage, but Soraka outscales as the game goes longer.

Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.
