Yeah, I get top damage in games a lot, even with a crappy number of kills, but I always get tons of assists... its because of how spread out and undirected his damage is; another reason is how easy it is for a champion he's damaged to get away from him before he can finish them off.

For example, champion in a teamfight starts getting pounded hard by Heimers turrets, sees his life going down, and easily gets out of range with a movement ability, giving Heimer no opportunity to stop them and keep them in range with a stun, because the movement ability also dodges all skillshots; and rockets, if he even has them up at this point, will only hit the closer enemies.

Another example, Heimer hits a group of people with grenade, it stuns someone, and he rockets, it gets several champs down below half, if he's lucky he gets a kill from someone that is already low... then the ones that are severely damaged can run away easily if they want, and any stunned ones often still live through the stun unless someone else kills them, because all Heimer can do at that point is place a turret and throw wrenches...

So pretty much, anyone he attacks lives unless they were already pretty low health or some other champ kills them, and champions that aren't stunned or live through his stun tend to have plenty of time to either kill heimer or get away from him.
