Why is heimerdinger impossible to gank

"Oh hey, heimer's pushing really hard. We should do something about this." Jungler goes top/mid (wherever he is). Heimer ults one of his turrets and gets a double kill. Because the turret lasers do massive damage and seem to have infinite range. And thanks to the huge damage buff minions get he constantly has an advantage since he pushes harder than anyone else. I'm sick of dealing with Heimerdinger. He has an enormous amount of safety and pushing power and has no weaknesses. And he's been number 1 for win rates for a very long time (or in the top 5). Nerf him please.

Smite a turret and beat his ass.

you can stun/kill the big turret with smite.

I think bringing exhaust to lane against him lowers his turrets damage too, making him much less of a threat under his turrets.

If you are playing a midlaner with at least half-decent poke, poke the turrets instead of Heimer. Heimer has a ton of health regen, but if you can oneshot the turrets, it severely weakens his farming and pushing ability. I would recommend trying Xerath, Nid, or Jayce. If he is top, try Jayce, Cho (AOE and nom) or Sion (Sion can't oneshot the turrets, but he can launch them into inconvenient locations).

Sion is my go-to Heimer counter top, just farm, push the turrets away, and outscale.

Mid-lane I take Cho against him. Yasuo is also an okay choice for an AD mid in my experience. I played it once, and though I didn't kill Heimer, we had the same farm. A Heimer that goes even isn't particularly strong.
