you could be a 1000 ap mage and still take inhib as slow as a full tank. this means you could legitimately be attacking the inhib for 1-2 minutes straight and still not take it down, depending on how early you've pushed into the game.
in a time of when AP's are already considered weak, riot ninja nerfs them AGAIN.
and you wonder why the balancing is complete shit.

Wait, did you just ask why a champion building AP isn't allowed to have their attacks do more?

It's like certain champions can do certain things better than others! SAY WHAT!

That's one of his main weaknessess; he can't discourage his opponent from roaming because his opponent could be MIA for 5 straight minutes and heimerdinger still won't have taken down that turret.

What are you talking about. He is kind of one of the best pushing champions. Your ability to personally damage a turret doesn't determine how fast you can take one.
ProfDrDeath1 votesWhile it is true that the 40% AP if that value is higher than AD doesn't apply to inhibs right now, this is confirmed to be a bug that will get fixed.
