So I hate saying it, but one of my favorite champs may be too strong.

Um, I'm not sure I want to point it out bc I love this champ, but item 3092 is kind of broken on Heimerdinger right now. He can start w/ it's base item and it's not terrible bc he can shove lanes so fast that he can sometimes proc the passive off the base item, it helps him with his mana sustain, and it provides a bit of AP so he's not completely useless until he buys the full item.

The real power though is when he gets the full item. The gold for hitting champions doesn't turn off when he kills minions. It gives 50 AP which isn't great, but it gives CDR to speed up his turrets' rate of attack, and an active that helps to either kite when he's ganked, or to slow enemies and make them easy to pick off w/ ult E combo, oh and the bonus damage to towers help him push even faster. Most importantly, the item pays for itself. He gets passive gold generation increase, and if you land his rockets not spread out you can proc all 3 stacks on one shot at the enemy so you get 45 gold w/ minimal mana expenditure and it's easy to keep from wasting stacks by not procking them on the enemy. It's cheap, not that bad an item on him, and provides so much gold that by the time you buy your second item your "support" item has paid for itself and is basically free in exchange for a slightly harder early game.

I love playingHeimerdinger, but even I think this might be a balance issue for him. Please don't nerf him then nerf the item and leave the donger in a bad spot. Just check out the item and the synergy it has with him, and deal with that if it's an issue.

"The gold for hitting champions doesn't turn off when he kills minions."

Am I reading this right? If this happens, it must be a bug, right? Or am I missing something?
