Why do Zyra's plants proc spell effects, but Heimerdinger's turrets don't?
^Title.
This always puzzled me, and never made much sense to me, as they are both fairly similar in their purpose.

Thing with Heimer is that a lot of balance problems arise if his turrets can apply spell effects.
All 3 turrets providing targeted and AoE slows to everything in range (including the beams.) Also helps them keep minions from overwhelming the turrets naturally.
First of all, does this apply to the turrets or Heimer? If only Heimer, you have the case where he now has SUPER sustain, gated only by how well he can keep turrets up. Some match ups vs Heimer are already hard due to him zoning without him being able to sustain easily. If it also applies to the turrets? LOL, they'd never die to minions.
'Nuff said.
%Current hp burn on already high damage turrets isn't pleasant for anyone.
And remember, all the above issues are magnified by his Ult Turret.
Zyra's plants don't last as long, for one.
what do you mean? last i checked rylas worked with his turrets.....
Purely balancing purposes.
Because one is balanced and the other is a balance nightmare designed by CertanlyT
Heimer has literally no damage without his turrets, while zyra's plants are just a small part of her damage. I dont get why heimer cant have spell effects applied to his turrets, since he has no additional burst without them
It probably has something to do with heim being the least interactive champ in the game, and anything that buffs that playstyle is toxic.
Heimer's turrets are minions while Zyra's plants seem to be traps. Why that matters though I don't really know.
