[Heimerdinger QoL buff idea] Let Heimer use a melee-range right click command to repair his turrets

Basically: If Heimer right clicks one of his turrets, he'll move into melee range of the turret and begin restoring its health at a much faster rate than his normal passive health regen aura.

Reasons:

  1. It kind of makes sense, in the same vein as the old RTS "repair" ability some worker units have.
  2. It gives Heimerdinger a reliable way to maintain his turrets in the face of sustained minion and champion attacks, that also requires him to move closer to enemy champions (making him more vulnerable and providing counterplay.)
  3. Thanks to Azir, we have tech for alternative uses of the basic attack command.

This could require balance testing (and plenty of bugtesting), but I think it's an idea worth at least testing on PBE.

Thoughts?

Nah, make it ranged. He throws wrenches at his turrets which repairs them.
