If Heimer ever gets another rework

Make him into a builder. Right now he can only make one set of turrets. But what if you could put down different turrets with his W and E?

Leave his Q how it is, except make the beam fo % damage.

Make his W a fire turret that burns in an AoE. Like rumbles Q. Good for doing group damage.

Make his E into an ice turret that can only be placed on terrain and shoots shards of ice that slows. This turret does peanut damage.

Then make his ultimate a missile turret that shoots missiles doing AoE.

I know a lot of people hate Heimer but I think it would be a cool change. :(

what if he could repair and manipulate actual turrets?

i mean repair as along as theyre not completely destroyed. what if he could build and deploy siege weapons like on the new nexus defense mode?

i think there could be room for entirely new support type class of champions that focuses around sieging, turret and minion manipulation without having a lot of abilities to combat other champions.

imagine a champion with only one or two actual set abilities, and he would be able to buy and swap the remaining two abilities in the shop for free.

here are just some abilities that could be added to a champions kit.

minion manipulation like with the blackmarket brawlers event
minion manipulation via banners like in the nexus siege mode
teleport pads like the nexus siege mode has them, with certain restrictions
long range siege cannons
the current heimer turrets
turret manipulation like ohmwrecker, fortify, turret shielding (), turret repair
interaction with enemy/allied destroyed turrets (similar to azirs passive)

thinking about it, a "builder" class of champions would be something worth to explore.

A good idea I say is to make him have more interaction with structures. For instance maybe make him able to shield turrets or regenerate them slowly. He used to be able to do that, but they patched it out. With how easy turrets die nowadays and champions like Azir that place new turrets, I think it would be cool if Heimer could repair them, or at the least give them a shield and name the ability 'Reinforcement'. Hard to balance, though. Might be a bit weak.

Surprised Riot didn't give Heimer anything for the mage update. Heimer imo sucks and is completely overcrowded by other champions with similar play style, but do way better. Why pick Heimer when you can stomp with Zyra and Azir?

As someone who use to play a lot of Heimer the rework and after, that would be hard to balance but it would be interesting. I like the ideas but highly doubt this will happen. Plus there are so many planned reworks already.

His active abilities are all fine.

He only needs one change to be viable.

an actual fucking passive

Would be too similar to Zyra

Heimer dosent need any new rework, maybe just new passive and then give turrets normal health regen and somekind of % damage from enemy current HP so he can deal with this tank meta.

That sounds like it would be annoying.

As long as the turrets are paper, I don't mind really.
