Well, Heimerdinger is now a top lane champion?

Perhaps this should get fixed?

This has been the case for literally years.

Never to this degree at all?

Always to this degree, on account of being cancer for Melee champs to deal with.

No... He's always been tricky but his mid lane W/L vs Top W/L has never been this spread in the favor of top lane.

...Son. It really, really, has.

For most of his lifespan, even.

You know, I'm a Heimerdinger main. I've actively checked his statistics for years... So, I'm guessing you're just saying what you think is common sense. Despite not knowing for sure. Shame, what a waste of typing.

Heimer top has been a thing for years. No way your a heimer main.

Can you people not read, this is why I hate the boards. People have no clue wtf they are talking about. I was explaining he is becoming a full on top laner. NEVER, before recently has the W/L for Heimer in top been this much better then the W/L in Mid. Sure, top was always a reasonable option, but mid lane WAS ALWAYS the better lane.

Thats totally debatable. A lot of top laners struggle with ranged attacks so their would have to walk up to the turret to clear it. This would let them take heavy harrass.

Hes been like this ever since the top lane banner of command zzrot portal build was viable.

CoperosJun 23, 20161 votes

Yes, more and more since then.

And why should the lane of a champion be fixed?

Champions don't technically have to go anywhere. There's no rule in balancing. It's only when a champion crowds out everything else when it's picked (tank Ekko, certain ranged top laners, etc) that it deserves scrutiny. Hell, if Darius mid was meta without crowding out every other choice out there (which, given his kit, is unlikely and would probably require him to be OP or a deliberate counterpick), that'd be no reason to nerf him for it.

Enforcing lane meta is ridiculous. Bot lane is already stagnant enough as is, no need to encourage it elsewhere.

Don't get me wrong I love the idea. But if it got more popular I worry about the negative effects. I mean think how cancerous top lane will be. Let alone how juggernauts will now be useless as they'll get "dumpstered" in lane.
