Because healing nearby allies (excluding himself) for 2-6 hp every second is pretty much the shittiest spell in the game.
Worse than increased fury generation when low from Renekton.
Worse than the passive on Jayces Lightning field.
Worse than Sona's E.
Cosmic Cocaine2 votesSona's E is bad?
He... Hehehahehe.... HEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA...
People like you make Sona so easy to play.
Nagoh Shan1 votesRemember, his massive HP5 he's got as a base stat was because of the way regen buffs calculate now. The only reason his passive aura doesn't effect him is because the effect is baked into his base stats.
He used to have no HP5, and all of his regen came from the passive. Now he has the highest base HP5, which has massive synergy with banner of command and Zz'rot portal if he decides to go the tankmerdinger push build.

Bârd1 votesI wouldn't say he is the biggest control mage. Azir and Zyra fill his minionmancer control mage niche with more success. If we broaden that to control mages in general, then Heimer falls off the radar entirely, since champs like Ori and Zilean exist.
And as for CSing without autoing, no. A long time ago, he could, but they intentionally made his turrets dumber so that he could no longer do that. Now, they will generally get between 25 and 50% of the minions, but that is assuming that they live long enough to do so. Almost every midlaner has some way to destroy Heimers turrets easily, since they are incredibly frail. Dead turrets can't farm.
YumScrumptious961 votesZyra is awful right now, haven't seen her since before patch 5.12. As for his turrets, they are frail, but he can pretty much replace them easily and do plenty of damage to the enemy mid to discourage any further attempts. Zilean isn't a very strong pick in mid as his damage can be dodged without much effort, and Orianna has a weak laning phase, with an ult that can be escaped easily. Ori is more a team fighter rather than lane dominant like Heim can be.

I can't go take a piss and comeback with higher cs than my opponent with Azir.
Pawn of hearts1 votesI think that passive work on his tower, (this is a guess)
Bârd1 votesIt works on his turrets, but not the lane tower.
