I must say I like Heimer but he is so in disadvantage comparing him to other mages.

Grenade is slow moving and hard to aim, easy to evady. Turrets are good but short range, enemy needs to stay near them for some time so they can do some damage. In teamfight he is even more vulnerable since he is first target.

Ultimate is fine, and rockets are very nice. I would speed up its grenade travel time so you can actually aim with it. Just look at ziggs, he has nearly the same ability and yet his bomb travels way faster and does practicaly the same thing, except stun.

Here is an example. I camped with two turrets near our blue in bush. I prepared the grenad to strike. One Veigar with not so much health arrived. I stunned him first, then deathfire, then rockets, then ultimate for slow and finally ignite. By the time I casted ignite he flashed away with some health and I could not do a thing since my all skills were on cooldown.

All in all he is good and interesting to play, but many champions are simply way more mobile than him and will simply get away from him.
