Heimerdinger, you were a good lad.

R.I.P you didnt deserve what rito did to you. i will remember you fondly my friend. and i hope one day, one day things will go back to how they were.

On a more serious note. i do not understand the changes that were made recently. the turrets were his shtick and now they are lets be honest, usless. even late game with the better scaling. they just get one shot by aoe or the team simply moves away from them. this was an issue before aswell, btu they had a purpose of getting you through the early game. now they merely tickle anything that gets into range. people say its not a direct nerf more of a shift in power. as his W was buffed. problem with that is the w is incredibly unreliable. generally to hit all the rockets your opponent has to be not be paying attention or you have to flash right next to them. atleast in my experience. they very easy to avoid. with the reward from hitting them your turrets charge up the burst attack to maybe do some form of damage, and thats about it as you wont be upgrading them when you could upgrade your grenade to have a big aoe stun. a big reason i saw when looking at the reasons behind these changes were less oppressive to melee laners. but i never really felt annoyed when lanign agaisnt him. it was more of just a farm lane. and with the other reason for the changes being making him be more of a play maker, which i think they failed at with this mini rework. i see no potential for plays other then what he had before. that being his upgraded grenade which could be very usefull. overall i think he is only used for his upgraded grenade even more so then before. and is the only thing he provides is an aoe stun i see no reason to pick him, as it would be more beneficial to pick any other champion. In my Opinion this update made him essentially useless and i hope they can fix him somehow in the future as i loved playing him before. Interested in others thoughts aswell, maybe i missed something that you could point out, or your opinions could sway me.
