Heimerdingers turret don't die easy?

I just faced a heimerdinger and it was pretty damn annoying (granted i was played teemo for funzies) but i feel like his turrets are a bit much. not only do they spawn with 75% of their special bar thing which does a shit load of damage and is damn near impossible to dogde at close range. the turrets themself have like 550 range? they could outrange teemo which is 500 range so somewhere between 500-550 pretty ridiculious IMO since he has his rockets and grenades for harrass the turrets should purely be defensive. They also have a decenty amount of HP so you have to invest an ability or get hit alot to take one down with AA's they almost allways focus champions if they are in range.

idk it might have just been because i was playing teemo but i feel he would be a bitch with any other champ.

What are you guys opinions on him?

Similar to Malzahar. Punishes assassins for getting thirsty and trying to freely dive him.

It's not difficult to just not walk into his turrets' range. People die to him because they want to kill him, not because he's being incredibly greedy/aggressive. His kit punishes thirst, it doesn't actively chase you down and blow you up then warp away to safety.

He also has hard counters but they aren't very popular (just like himself). Plenty of people know Syndra can throw his turrets, but my preference is Karthus. Every time he places a turret, I press Q. Boom, 5 gold. Wait 20 seconds, repeat.

He has to start playing without turrets entirely, except for the ulti turret, which you can just walk away from, as long as you're not stunned. (Unless he's towerdiving you, lol.)

Vel Koz (W i think?) wrecks his turrents. Xerath just outranges him and ignores them. Vlad W Q combo can delete them. He is a very oppresive champ if you dont have the right counterpick. Hope for good ganking, just try to farm. I dont like laning against him even with his counters
