Maybe I'm crazy, but on paper this looks pretty viable. Just let the turrets tank for you, and you take almost no damage. Jungle forever. All you need is mana regen and you're good to go. So...is there any reason Heimer isn't viable? In my mind it would be just at good (if not better) as jungle Karthus when played correctly.
hawkman58793 votesTurrets die pretty quick against the jg creeps. Plus he has little to no dmg on ganks.
maikokk3 votesturret CD way too long to have good clear. to do this right, you need to place turrets in between camps and tank the damage so the turrets dont die. ganks are hard to pull off too. overall there is no benefit.
if you like the idea of minions tanking for you, do malzahar
Laughing Fish2 votesHis ganking abilities are horrid.
xSyndicate1 voteshe has his ult activated with his stun, gank would b fine, u just need to land ur stuns from bushes they have a pretty long range. u also have a stun in jg so ur turrets do more and ur rockets.
disregardable1 votesI just tried this out in a custom game with just me. He definitely doesn't need a leash, the 3 turrets by themselves can handle blue. You MUST tank the damage with EVERY camp. A lot of the time my positioning was off and I almost died. Unfortunately that leaves you constantly half dead, but his passive makes sustain horrid but not impossible. I got blue and wolves and backed for trailblazers, managing to get red and level 3 at 4 minutes in. I was then able to barely clear the rest of the jungle (needed to smite the raptors), back again, clear again, and finish my AP enchantment at 9 minutes. It's not exactly viable, but actually his turrets do enough damage that I don't think it'd be a complete fail. You would need to E perfectly on ganks and then ult+w, but, like ww, you could probably only effectively gank when your ult is up.
AtheosisX1 votesIt's doable but he would be trash tier as a jungler.
Kowe The Ewok1 votesTurrets die much too fast. Doesn't work (anymore). Not to mention that you need to have a leveled Q to get tower stacks. Y ou'll run into big trouble once you start a second camp.
Sukishoo1 votesIn theory everything could work in the jungle... but eh.. doing them actually doesn't always work out.
