Heimerdinger main Feedback

Hello everyone,

I'm a Heimerdinger main(600+ games), got to gold 3 with him last season, but I really strugle this season and the last patch feels like it completely gutted him.

APmerdinger Heimerdinger is one of those champions that really profits from as much AP as possible but with the current AP nerfs to certain items he really seems to fall off mid game and it's feels really hard to get to his late/full build game in the current meta.

Dingersembrace I tried to max my ap with and but it only got me to somewhere around 650 AP. My mana seemed lower than before too, but I really don't like this build on Heimerdinger any way.

Strugles With heimer there are several build paths, many prefer to start with for sustain and to survive possible ganks, but this item got nerfed for the second time and now has a lot less dmg output for heimer.

Pretty much unchanged and at the current state of the game it seems like you can't go without this combo, because heimer's flat AP/ doesn't seem to cut it for me.

Putting it together with and you still don't have that much ap and oneshotting even when you're fed is not realy a thing now against most champions.

Heimerdinger really spikes at around 800 AP, that's the sweetspot, but getting there is almost impossible right now. To be honest he is starting to feel outdated. His turrets are made of paper, even his ult turret, it feels like he can get killed more easily and I'm not able to push as hard as I used to. In the past when a Katarina left the lane to roam, her turret would be gone. Now, I've just got my minions at her turret when she's back from getting a triple kill bot lane.

Maybe it's me, maybe I have grown tired of him, but I enjoyed the first 500 games so much, I just can't stand the last 100 I played with him, with so much difficulty.

Let's see what happened for heimer this season

• Zhonya's Nerfed
• Mana nerf
• Rift herald buff revamp making it pretty useless while it was awesome before
• AP items lowered
• Turrets buffed

So what could Riot do?

• Increase the turret health or give them a zz'rot/pinkward kind of healthbar, but targetable by spells and minions.
• Increase his AP ratio's or give him an AP boost passive.

Make Heimer great again!
