Alright can we talk about the donger.... Hes such a cool champion to play but i haven't seen anyone try to give him any love. He is so far out of the meta he is almost unplayable but he hast received a buff in ages. It would be nice to see him buffed, he doesn't have to be good really, just playable. So if anyone can talk to me about the donger that would be nice....Heimerdinger

His identity is very confused IMO. He has traces of burst mage but plays more like a battle mage, kiting around his turrets. Problem is, he isn't inherently tanky and he can only defend himself with a hard to land stun. He also has to buy lots of tankyish items that still offer damage (most of which got nerfed recently). As such he tends to fall off hard after laning phase, and if teamfighting can only place turrets near his carries and peel with his E.

Juggernauts like Yorick or Illaoi play a lot like him. They are jungler magnets that can often turn ganks around in their favor. They are just as immobile, deal the same or even more damage, much tankier and better at split pushing or teamfighting respectively, and only trade off ranged poke.
