It is super toxic and relies on the stupidity of the enemy to work. It decimates melee champs with 0 counter play but any Champ with over 425 range can just make it useless.

The turrets can safely attack anyone under their turret and auto away when you go up to cs. Its disgusting and not fair.

Any ranged champ completely counters heimer and his entire kit. Sure he can still E and W but that's it, then he's dead because of 0 mobility and no turrets.

Another issue is that if he's up against a close range champ in mid.. sure he'll dominate and burst down any gank attempts.. but after that team fights move around so much that it'll be situational as to whether or not he will be able to contribute as much as others late game.

Regardless he's fun and takes more strategy to play than most other mid laners. But If flash is on cooldown, he's as good as dead if he can't burst down whatever is coming at him.

Thats why you go Top Lane.

Lane is too long and heimer has no escape. In mid, it's short enough that he can usually get back to turret if he needs to. Top lane would just make him a free kill

If they made the turrents more reliant on Heimer, like change his stun/slow to something that's easier to hit and will cause turrents to focus that one person. Tis would require a bit of work on his UPGRADE version, but its something.
