You are delusional if you do not think that a rework is required. Heimer is an outdated champion that is outclassed by nearly every AP mid. There are only a few champions against whom he can contend, and even with this advantage he does not contribute much to a team. Heimer was envisioned to be a strong pusher, and he proved himself an able practitioner, but nowadays his pushing strength is hardly noteworthy. Many AP mids can rival Heimer in pushing and many can strongly push and do other things as well. I enjoy Heimer, and can do well with him, but I can comfortably say that he is the worst AP mid.

Aside: While we wait for this neverending rework, I think Riot should at least give Heimer some minor buffs. For one, they could reduce his mana costs. Heimer has the worst mana costs of any champion. And do no mention Anivia and Swain, for these two have high mana efficiency to compensate for high mana cost. Heimer, however, can drop a turret for a whopping 110 mana and see it destroyed in one hit. Don't even get me started on the 145 cost for Rockets...
