Heimerdinger Needs to be Fixed/Nerfed

His turrets are the real problem here. I understand you tried to balance their power with his extreme squishiness, but what's the point if their power makes it impossible to get to him? Even at level one, his turrets can overpower any minions with their quick attacks and occasional piercing ones. As well, they are EXTREMELY DURABLE. They can last long over his cool down for them, even if all of your minions attack them and you unleash your AP empowered abilities on them. As well, they seem to stay active without their Heimerdinger around much longer than other things, such as Thresh's Lantern (even at low levels when compared to the maxed lantern). Honestly, here's the way every match against a Heimerdinger I've been in has gone: : places turret : stands behind it (Most recently I went as AP Morgana midlane) : launches q and lands it : charges in for kill Towers: piercing shot : backs off due to incredible damage : waits for jungler Jungler: gets into bushes behind : launches q and lands it before placing w Jungler: charges in for the kill before getting it after being damaged severely Tower: shoots, getting last hit on Jungler : /all $&%@ : /all That's what you get for being Heimer! (I get mean if you play Heimerdinger. Because, it's Heimerdinger) Tower: shuts down : /all You're just jealous you don't have my skills. : /all It's okay, though. Some people just better. Later on, things continue like this, me getting meaner. : launches bomb but misses : launches missiles but misses : /all Oh good job missing again Heimer : /all Really, best Heimer NA I get really mad, so, if someone on my team criticizes me not playing support after not playing support to begin with, I bite them. And sacrifice them. And purposely expose them to death. : /all You're just mad that you're against a champ like me, Morg : /all Oh really Heimer? : /all Why not play an actual champion? Instead of playing turrets with a rat running around behind them, you know? I get really mad, and then we lose because someone usually fed (not me if I'm against Heimerdinger. He can't kill me without his jungler, and even then...) from the very beginning, making me lose lane to the creature.

Honestly, if you look at the chat log from my last ranked game, you'll see what I mean, Rito. Otherwise I'm fairly friendly though. (If I get annoyed due to someone's actual skills, I'll yell at them, but concede to their superior skills.)

Now, how to fix him...

Nerf the turrets, for sure. Too strong, too early.

• Lower their magic resist, for sure
• Lower their health
• LOWER THEIR DAMAGE
• Increase their cooldown
• Lower their attack speed (they're faster than most of my adc champion builds at level 1)
• Remove the piercing attacks
• Shorten their range
• Lower the range they count Heimerdinger to be nearby in
• Lower the time needed for them to shut down without Heimerdinger to be nearby

Bring some items that have magic resist pierce. You have Armor Pierce, but if you go AP and someone builds magic resist, you're at a loss Bring back the sword that increased AD in relation to Health. I built a lot of Tank item sets around it, and now all are a bit broken.
