Naturalist Heimerdinger

So, I main Heimerdinger, and I've been looking through his skins and I've found none of them particularly appealing. Additionally, I was originally drawn to Heimerdinger because I'm a scientist (working on my Master's, will be doing my PhD after) so I identified with him a little, but like all "scientist" archetypes in video games, he's a physicist/engineer/inventor...and I'm a biologist. All this lead me to an idea for a good skin (in my opinion) that caters to my biology-ness:

Naturalist Heimerdinger Appearence: Wears a brown, "druidic" robe, maybe with some green leaf-y patterns. Green hair, with twigs sticking out of it. Overall would give him a "tree"-like appearence. Q: Change his turrets to be either small animals that shoot projectiles (I'm thinking like, frogs, slugs, etc.), or my personal preference, frogs/chameleons that shoot their tongues out to hit enemies (not sure how the "beam" attack would be implemented). Perhaps the "stored turret kits" effect could be birds circling him. W: Rockets replaced by swarms of hummingbirds/woodpeckers that fly out of his hair towards the enemy. E: Grenade replaced with a giant seed that explodes in a puff of spores when it impacts (giant mushroom would work better, but maybe that copies Teemo too much?) R: Upgraded Q is just a much bigger, nastier looking critter, W is just bigger, angrier, different colored birds, and E is just a different-colored, perhaps bigger projectile (seed/mushroom/flower(?)). Don't know what the "activated ultimate" display would be (what is seen when Heimerdinger hits his R but hasn't used an ability yet). Recall: A few little birds could fly out of his hair and fly around him for a bit, with him looking at them and maybe playing with them, before they grab him and fly away, carrying him back to the fountain. Dance: Could be new, including little birds flying around him and such.

This is rough, but I think the concept is interesting, and would love to see it implemented. The name, "Naturalist Heimerdinger" would be my preference, but some quick alternatives could be:

Environmental Heimerdinger One-with-nature Heimerdinger All-natural Heimerdinger

or a variety of others.

I'm interested in feedback, if anyone thinks this is interesting, too similar to other champs in some way, not fitting for Heimerdinger, etc.
