Throw Heimerdinger a bone Riot!

KekkleBekkle··8 votes·1,655 views

With the release of new Irelia everyone was a little on edge. After all I started playing the game this summer so a full champ rework is almost foreign to me. However in the short time I've played the game I decided to one trick a champion. That champion is Heimerdinger so far this year, and 2017 the only major Heimer changes have been nerfs. Ultimate turret can't do anything for you in lane anymore with laser damage halved. Now this new Irelia poses an extremely difficult problem for top Heimer. At level 4 she can one shot my turrets with q and kill me if she lands stun. I'm not usually one to complain, but with releases like this you gotta give my champ something. I would prefer my old turret ult or maybe higher hp or resist on little turrets. But hey I don't work for Riot these are just some topics I wanted to address.

Buff him, and people will want to play him in top lane again. It's a god damn nightmare for the other laner.

That said, Heim is meant to be a mid laner anyway, which is where Irellia doesn't go to lane anyway. There has to be SOME counters to Heim, even when he's trolling top Heim.

Assuming they don't get poked to death first by the turrets. Not only that, bruisders and tanks, who are the ones usually play top, get more punished then if they were up against a Sion.

No one plays Yi top. That's kind of a bad idea by itself.

My point is, anything that can blink in and out, like zed, wukong, yi and such can destroy him.

Exactly. It's called a weakness. It helps maintain game balance. So you really can't complain when Irellia destroys him in a lane that he's not built for.

"Buff an auto win lane champion who has 0 interaction for the opponent"

They're already buffing Kennen, they think Gnar isn't choking top lane. Please throw me a fucking bone.

Riot didn't forget Heimer; you'll be getting less mana soon!

He's disgusting and honestly toxic to play against him top lane as a melee champion.

That isn’t true many matchups such as Yorick, Sion, Irelia, and Yasuo pose huge issues.
