That's anecdotal. I've had games like that with Heimer and the very next game I would play against someone that knew how to counter him, and have a miserable game.

He's not useless, but if you don't have a team that can keep Heimer alive then he is extremely squishy, and not very fast. Team Comp is probably the most important thing in a Heimer, because if someone with burst damage gets close to him, he's toast. Not to mention his turrets can only target one person at a time, so if the tank goes in there to absorb the damage, a dps can finish him off quick.

As to the original post, if Heimer has stacked AP, then his 2 skills hurt like a truck. Add in blind, Rylai's, and his turrets and he can easily destroy anyone that tries to take him on 1 on 1, or even tries to target him first in a team fight. Rylai's and rockets can even save him from ganks as he slows while running and dropping turrets
