Heim is in a Bad Spot.
The Damage Creep is so crazy, and Riot's buffing of champs that he is supposed to counter (or refusal of nerfing, or very late nerfs) makes it so he can't counter much now.
Own the early game, but later on falls harder than before.
And people make huge mistakes. Hard to land E doesn't stun for long, and point blank R+W no longer one shots after E is landed and this is if ahead a level on foe.
Sad times for Heim, no wonder I stopped using him XD.
He isn't "weak", it's just that Damage Creep has gone too far on other champs that he is unviable.
He doesn't need a buff, per se. Just that everything else didn't need buffs.
I remember a time when Heim was actually "well off" (strong in low elo as divers learned the hard way) since Keystones were not around and Riot's philosophy was "diversity" and not "OP this to make people choose champ X"... and if that keeps up, imagine what dumb buff they wil give heim to make him "viable" again. Now he is not as useful against close quarters combat, even the most choreographed dives who gets stunned will get away with so many mistakes being maded by them. And on top of that, the E is bugged as you stun someone and somehow they can still ult you while they are stunned, and it is delayed by the stun, but as soon as foes or me realize I can ult while still stunned the Heims stand no chance.
Not liking this philosophy much of making everything busted to make people choose a champ. Since, i'm sure if heim gets a buff, it will be something like make towers stronger which i don't think we need. We need to fix E and avoid the damage creep.
Apart from that, he isn't awful. He is just indirectly in a bad spot as this is clearly not his season as everything else is too strong and he is left in the dust, even when ahead, even after landing stun, even after the exaust clown fiesta around towers, Zhonya's bait, and still die. This use to insta gib anything, now im the one getting instagibbed XD by my supposed counters.
