Heimerdinger the OP!

So I just bought him, about 17 minutes ago. :D Played a match of Summoners Rift, and I have to say this champion is by far the most OP I've seen.

Takes literally 0% skill to use this champion. Place turrets down, and go afk. Then when someone does come close to you, just use the W and war them off. My last match was the fastest match I've ever played. 17 minutes has to be a record or something. I was able to shut pretty much everyone on my opposing team down with little effort.

All I'm asking here is, a nerf. It's funny that I had 2 items and didn't even need items to dominate the first 15 minutes. His turrets should cost a lot of mana, same with his W.

Kill his turrets and he is useless

Its mostly that Heimerdinger's turrets ruin the laning phase for many champions that require a good early game. Plus he always wins lane so you get enemy turrets down quite quickly and jungles almost never gank you. As a player who loves champions like Zed, Swain, Fizz, and other short ranged mid laners I have to admit that simply "getting rid of his turrets and poking him" is rarely a viable strategy. I think they should nerf either his turrets longevity, make them die when he does, limit the amount of turrets he can place, or simply raise the mana cost of each turret. Nothing major but plz nerf something!

You just have not met anyone who has learned to deal with him then. While with some champions that cannot deal with him, their are a good number that can win if played correctly.

He is hard countered by Ziggs by the way.

Kill his turrets, leave his turrets on CD, and just all in him. dead, unless you happen to use Zanya's hourglass

I guess ziggs could counter him hard with the bombs, but 1 champion.

I was playing a match on the new Hexakill, Hiem can just lock down an entire lane because they are so narrow, all he needs is his 3 turrets up and lane is officially closed.

My main problem with him is, he doesn't use really any mana at all. I was able to go 15 minutes without needing any mana resupply and I laid down like 18 turrets, and used W constantly, and his R.
