Heimerdinger gives himself and nearby allied structures and units 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 health regeneration per 5 seconds.
Radius: 800
Ability
Description
Rank Up
H-28G Evolution Turret
(Active): Heimerdinger constructs a Turret with 260 + (15 × level) health that fires at nearby enemies, dealing magic damage (half damage to towers and inhibitors). Heimerdinger stores enough parts for a new turret every 25 seconds (affected by cooldown reduction). Turrets attack 50% faster for the first 6 seconds after placement. Turrets disappear automatically when Heimerdinger dies. Turrets receive upgrades and transform with every ability rank.
(Active): Heimerdinger lobs a grenade at a targeted location, dealing magic damage to enemy units and blinding them. Enemies who are directly hit are stunned for 1.5 seconds.
(Active): All active Evolution Turrets are healed for 100% of their maximum health. Also for the next 6 seconds all of his abilities are improved. His turrets turn blue and fire slowing frost shots, newly created turrets also have this property, he now fires 5 Hextech Micro-Rockets instead of 3 and the missile speed on CH-1 Concussion Grenade is increased from 750 to 1,000.
Heimerdinger is the single most complained about champion I hear about, no matter where I go. I really just don't get it. He's not exceptional for teamfights, if he builds a turret nest somewhere, you just don't fight there, instead choosing to be somewhere else. Maps are more than one lane big. For laning he's beat out by any champion that has a spammable range anything right now, he does next to nothing to turrets in comparison to the other major push champions like Sivir. He's really just not that good for anything but area denial right now, which he's faltering at with the recent nerfs.
This is a piece of the Test Realm patch notes*, as seen on Leaguecraft:
Heimerdinger
H-28G Evolution Turret
Maximum turrets changed to 1/2/2/2/2 from 1/2/2/3/3
H-28G Evolution Turret rank 4 now grants +100 bonus health to new turrets
Cooldown modified to 26/23/20/17/14 from 24/22/20/18/16
CH-1 Concussion Grenade no longer affects towers or buildings
CH-1 Concussion Grenade ability power ratio increased to .6 from .55
I'm really not sure what Heimer is supposed to be used for now. +100hp to turrets is absolutely nothing by level 7 or 8, which is when you can actually get rank 4 if you rush it. That's less than an autoattack from any AD champ, as well as some mages, and most of the tanks. That's just pitiful. Not to mention heimer can no longer 'nade towers, so he has to depend on the wonderful turret AI to target the tower instead of a minion or a tree. I really don't see him being viable for anything anymore. This may sound like QQ, but I'm just really confused why he was nerfed, and what plans Riot has for him. All I can come up with is they didn't want Eve to be lonely on her special tier of fail.
*TR Patch notes are not finalized patch notes, many things get tweaked before actual release, Youmu's Ghostblade was revised like, four times.

I wouldn't say he's that bad Lorx, nethertheless, he's a never ban champ. He does excellently against assassins imo, because they're melee (in the main) and have to get close to MR shredding turrets.

He's still viewed by Riot, pro players, and most everybody I've ever talked to as complete trash.
Heimerdinger's Entire Tournament History according to Leaguepedia:
MLG Pro Circuit 2012
Picked: Once
Banned: Never
Wins: Zero
That is the entire list. Not sure what ELO is having him perma-banned, but it's probably in a bracket where players have yet to learn how to dodge projectiles, like his horrendously slow grenade, or have not found out his turrets have an abysmal 525 range. Most ranged champions can autoattack from farther away from that, the norm is 550.

Posts like the above are fine, as they are following my guideline of posting in an existing champ thread rather than making another and besides that necroing threads only really comes to questions that are asked by an OP then answered a year+ later imo. Thanks.

Heimerdinger is for the most skilled player..and thats making heimerdinger fckn Nice!!!. Let me give you guys an example of the great things that you din't mention about heimerdinger.
1. Have you looked at the cooldown of the skills..all less then 10 sec + his ulti has a pasive of 15% less cooldown.. 2. The grenade you need skills for it to trow it good But wtf the damage Early game!!! 160 + 30 magic damage at level 2 AND BLINDING AND STUNNING WTF!!! ( iam kiling heroes all the time with this beauty) 3: The missile with a cool down of 5 seconds and a mana need of 65 its to nice!! Not alot of damage but in a team gank you can keep trowin missiles. 4. play heimer with a good combo like heroes that can pull enemys toward them...make a nice turret nest and let the other one pull them in....give the turrets the upgrade...and when you did the upgrade then trow your grenade and missiles...and you will have a double kill for sure!! 5. Iam talking after the nerv...cause before the nerv i was one of the guys who was complaining about heimer.. 6 and this is just a tip: PLace youre turrets in a bush your not in..when they chase you...and heroes always chase FOOD They will be trapped by the turrets..trow youre STUNNING grenade and its over.
Guys heimerdinger is still overpowerd and thats why he is still banned every time...
Can't remember beyond that, but he's my 3rd best CS grabbing champion. Ziggs does have much better clearing, however I am yet to try him against 2 opponents. Heimer's passive + mana regen makes him very easy to sustain, and level 5 turrets have the clear times of Cass or better. I find that as Heimer you cannot get hard pushed because he can dance around 2 enemies with frozen bullet turrets which it fun to say the least. Fire rockets and a grenade when they get close and they're in pain. However, I think that like Teemo's shrooms, the turrets should stay after death, the amount of times one more turret AA would've killed 2 enemies rather than just the one I picked on first is ridiculous -.-.
Ziggs can take on two opponents well as long as you don't stray too far from your turret. Going for farm rather than kills in this scenario, is, obviously better. Ziggs' poking, harassment, range and overall fantastic zoning means he can almost completely shield himself in-lane when he's right by the turret. If you hug the turret, you can even start to use your W offensively. =o
But yeah, I agree in that Heimerdinger's purpose in laning is to hold the ground that he gets and farm like no tomorrow.

Most of my games with these four champs involve a long laning phase, which is why I was comparing them. Cassiopeia probably has a slight disadvantage to my others, as I frequently leave my lane to get 2 kills/assists bot lane. Ziggs has both high laning ability and clear times, and I love how aggressively he can be played. Meanwhile Heimer I usually purposely drag the laning phase out where possible, because he does it so well .

Zilean's somebody I forgot to mention, he's amazing at clearing and is a pain to dive since he can just revive.
High CS is awesome, but it's a number affected by far more than clear times, game time, how much you're left alone to freefarm, if your team is split pushing a lot, how long laning phase lasts, etc. It's not a really good metric for just clear times.

People with actually decent AoE damage can two shot entire waves without really caring. Heimer can't do that. He can clear waves relatively well, but he is nowhere near the best for being able to do it passively, or for clear times.
People with spam AoE hold lanes better. Cass, Ziggs, Mord, Vlad, etc. Even better if they have cc. They can two-shot waves without needing to rely on turret damage, which falls off hard, and get easily destroyed.
Really? I find Heimer does better because those turrets allow him to be so passive, and use rockets when needed and the occasional grenade if they're AAing the turrets. Also I can displace them with the threat of being turretted .
