why is heimerdinger even a thing?

seriously he takes literally no skill to play, you can play like garbage, build like garbage, and still do damage. seriously the design is just awful. lets make a champion, who doesn't actually deal his own damage. it's like if yorick's ghosts did the same amount of damage he does. honestly he's the stupidest champion in the game. you guys are going to be like "oh you just lost to a heimerdinger" yeah i did just lose to a heimerdinger as i was hard countered playing volibear and in addition, my jungle fed him two kills, but the majority of the time i beat heimerdingers though. here's heimer's playstyle. put down turrets, superturret, aoe stun, zhonyas. like really? it's like that rich kid in the movie "kickass 2" who doesn't really do anything but use other people beat the guys up. lets go through some more champions that take no skill to play malzahar, big silence, unavoidable dot and voidling damage, unavoidable aoe damage, and ignite ult. swain, stand in minions, reqw ignite aa and instakill akali, q farm early, at 6 win lane unless countered ryze, r combo damage ???? profit? sona, 3 skills Qaa, 3 skills Qaa ult, mesmerize with dat booty master yi, r e aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa Q to dodge aa aa aa aa aa

not listing any tanks because tanks are tanks, and i don't dislike these champions (except yi, i don't like yi), their designs are nice, but heimerdinger is just an idiotic character design.

Your list of champs that take 0 skill to play is making me chuckle.

And your poll makes me laugh harder.

I guess planning, position and strategy is clearly not a thing in LoL besides reflex button mashing being "skill" right?

You had me laughing until I saw you saying Malzahar takes no skill. Now I'm just smiling at your ridiculous poll.

you have one skill that is difficult to hit, if your jungler is ganking use your combo and your ult and it's pretty much a guaranteed kill

heimerdinger. place your turrets in a triangle, the enemy may not enter your triangle. when initiating, place turret on them and stun. place turrets to push the minion zone into their tower. ward so you don't get ganked. in teamfights, place turrets in middle of their team, spam skills, zhonyas, spam skills

The skill from heimer and a bunch of the champions on your list isn't necessarily a micro based skill requirement, but rather a strategy/positioning based skill requirement. As I've said before, Heimer is the RTS champion of league. If you don't know how to manage your units and position them properly, you're gonna have a bad time. Against him, if you don't know how to punish poor positioning of turrets, then you will struggle against him.
