Rockets aren't targeted, they are untargeted, and totally negated by any minions around so their usefulness to harass is limited. Calling them an AOE ability is a little bit of an exaggeration too. But I agree, comparing it with Vorpal Blade is probably not appropriate, Even if you take it totally out of context and just compare abilities I don't think Vorpal Blade is really outright better than either of Heimer's nukes.

Karthus' Q on the other hand, has a 1 second cooldown and very long range, and a small mana cost, while still doing as much or more damage than any of heimer's nukes.
