Questions about Heimer changes?

Kind of curious about the justifications for the nerf to heimer that are currently on PBE. Can grant he's kind of strong right now, but at the same time why is the first step to completely gut his one defense against ganks? Or at least the thing that makes ganks from intelligent laners/junglers not completely free after they force a flash? Seems like there's other options, or at least maybe a less severe nerf that could make things easier for those who complain about him without effectively forcing him to lose a large amount of the thins that make him fun to those people who main him, and the fact that there are still a LARGE number of matchups he in theory loses in both top/mid that nothing really can fix.

Not to mention many champs who are more overtuned seemed to get slaps on the wrists, or buffs.

But ignoring the salt, why was the nerf this large overall? Literally only Corki got hit with a less spiked bat to his knees in that current version of PBE updates.

(Also the nerf numbers for people who don't know)

Well, of all the things that they could have nerfed, this is honestly the healthiest nerf I could think of. The day they gave Heimer better AP scaling in exchange for base stats was a happy day for me. They're just doing the same for his ult, now, too.

I'm just glad because it was a cheap beam - since after you kill heimer, you still have to run away after, and will most likely get pelted by that massive, unfair beam of sadness. I just hope they give him more power where it matters to compensate.
