Lets talk about Heimerdinger.

Warning : Incoming opinion! BEWARE!

First off, it's pretty much impossible to lane against Heimerdinger due to him just being able to put down his turrets where ever he pleases, which do continuous, ludicrous amounts of AP damage AND slow you in the process so it can land more continuous damage while he just gets to farm freely only to buy more ability power to power his turrets. Try and stop him from farming? Turrets say nope, and you get caught in the slowing, continuous damage and he stuns you and kills you on the spot, and if HE doesn't, then his turrets certainly will. It makes farming for the opponent pretty much impossible. I don't think an AP mage should be able to do THAT much rapid damage with little to no effort whatsoever. His turrets are already enough, but do they have to slow you as well? Plus his passive gives his turrets health regeneration. And then in teamfights he can just place his turrets down and get triple kills and quadra kills all over the place.

Opinions please, and don't be biased just because you happen to main Heim or whatever.

His turrets have very little hp and a high charge time for the turret charges. Not to mention he can't just set them down one right after another, there's a one second cooldown before he can set another. Heimerdinger has to set up prior to team fights, if he's focusing on setting turrets in the middle of a fight, then he's either trying to kite or he's just dumb because he should be spending that time putting down an ult turret, rockets or grenade.
Another thing to consider is bringing a strong mage along, someone with good AoE, one shot his entire set up and he's screwed.

His turrets die in like 5 seconds, and they only do a lot of damage if they're charged and all attacking you at the same time.

His turrets die pretty quickly. Most champs can kill one in 1-2 auto attacks in the early game, not to mention they also die pretty quickly in the late game to a damage dealer in the late game, outside of his ult turret.

Are you actually serious? Most mages can 1 shot turrets with a single spell - while he starts with 24s cooldown on it... Not to mention that his grenade is easy to dodge and also has 18 / 16 / 14 / 12 / 10 s cd. His W has an incredibly specialized hitbox, meaning you have to stand in a very specific distance and angle to get hit for full damage - AND it has 10s cooldown.

His ultimate W or E can only be used when they're off cooldown, meaning you can easily all-in heimer after he pokes you while he has nothing to throw back at you.

Not to mention how incredibly squishy Heimerdinger is.

I really hope your startpost is sarcastic or you're bronze 5. 'cause calling Heimerdinger op is the biggest nonsense I've read in quite a while.....

For what it's worth, he's pretty damn easy to deal with Malzahar.
