Heimerdinger: Balance issues

Toplaners, botlaners, and midlaners all cringe when they see a heimerdinger in the opposing lane. Why? Because he has some ridiculous lane dominance that ensures that he can sit back and take a bite of a sandwitch in the midle of a battle. I have tried many ways to try and deal with a toplane Doger, but unfortunatley, Heimy is just so powerful when he has his turrets on the field. Azir, having a similarities with his soldiers (to the point that they act as senturies) is a very squishy champ. but heimer is not and his sentries are RANGED. An aggresive heimer can ruin the lives of anyone opposing him in lane, and I belive he is just not squishy enough for his playstyle.

Ranged champs are ok against heim, melee champs.... not even worth fighting the lane.

and then you realize that is all he has and that pretty much everyone out ranges his turrets non-laser attacks

yeah he's annoying against melee/short-ranged matchups, but that's his trade-off, he gets mega-shit on by ranged champs (Azir who you mentioned, obliterates heimer from lane, and so does any other champ with ranged/zone control, Syndra, even sion). And to add to that, he has no teamfight, and no objective control, and no map presence/mobility. He's a guy who sits on lane and pushes all day.

He's in a bad spot.
