No seriously. Pushing is how Heimerdinger works. If you want him to get good at the damn game, you should make him play more than one champion.

He should play more than one champion to learn how other champs work so that he can understand the matchups, also.

Imagine if your friend were to mid against a Nunu that specifically went mid to counter pick him. This Nunu takes Smite and then goes into mid. What a noob right? Wait. Why are you... HEY! You can smite turrets? OH MY GOD. NUNU IS SO FUCKING CHEAP. YOU NOOB ASS NUNU. FUCK LEAGUE OF LEGENDS. RIOT NEEDS TO NERF NUNU'S FEAST.

Anyway, point is. Play other champions. Learn how the game mechanics work by playing as champions for whom the game mechanics actually apply. Last hitting is pretty negligible on Heimer because his playstyle is to push harder than Mordekaiser. You stand behind your turrets and place them closer and closer and then when they get to the end so you're vulnerable to ganks, you back, buy, and then return with teleport now that your turrets are down and you place them back in the middle of the lane just behind the river now that it's been pushed back.
