Taliyah vs Heimerdinger Matchup Summary

The Taliyah vs Heimerdinger matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 6 recent matches analyzed, Heimerdinger wins with a 66.7% win rate compared to Taliyah's 33.3%, giving Heimerdinger a 33.3 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Heimerdinger controls the early laning stage, but Taliyah outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Heimerdinger needs to press advantages before Taliyah reaches their power spikes, while Taliyah should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in damage output, where Heimerdinger leads by 322 DMG/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Heimerdinger has a strong advantage in this matchup. Taliyah players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Heimerdinger 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.

Heimerdinger dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 100.0% win rate — a 100.0 percentage point lead over Taliyah. This lopsided early game means Heimerdinger can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Taliyah is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 66.7% win rate — 33.3 points above Heimerdinger. Extended games heavily favor Taliyah, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.

If Taliyah survives the laning phase without falling too far behind, the matchup flips in their favor. Dragon and Rift Herald control are pivotal — the team that secures early objectives can snowball or buy time to scale.
