Why is heinerdinger top a thing? Why do people shamelessly abuse it?

Seriously. I don’t care if he gets outscaled or is worse in team fights or bad at splitpushing or whatever the fuck, the fact that he instantly wins lane against EVERY SINGLE MELEE CHAMP IN THE GAME except Mundo is absolutely horrible, and feels horrible. In general, ranged top laners in this current game state are cancer, but good lord heimer actually just stops you from playing, period. Champ needs an early game gutting.

Its funny cuz Heimer is actually the strongest champion in the entire game right now. As in, not joking or being sarcastic/funny etc., Heimer is legit an absolute monster. "Bad at splitpushing"? Nope, he's a siege god and can perma-freeze waves. He may not get it to the inhibitor that quickly but it wont matter when hes got 230 CS at 25 minutes. Even in team fights, if he lands a single RE (stun grenade bounces) he just wins.

I like champs like Heimer being strong but hes definitely deserving of some general nerfs (R CD, turret health, stun damage) I cant speak for his early game strength but, perhaps his current late game can be maintained if his Q and W early ranks are gutted and R CD lengthened dramatically + base HP reduced and HP/lvl increased to break even at level 8.

I don't mind playing vs Heimer top. He's pretty squishy.

Because riot thought it was a good idea to allow mages, the most op class, to use conqueror.

literally focus the turrets though it takes forever for them to regenerate thats why his speed up is near his turrets kill those things quickly then he suffers for it.

PusherDinger is a thing. Just play defense, wait for ganks and get fed, single person push game is so strong there is no way to apply pressure with a good heim top.

i had the luck to not face a single heimer (when i was top) this entire season, so can someone tell me what makes him so strong? i cant judge at all but i always thought the aa's of his towers are weak

He has no mobility and is pretty frail.
