This wasn't a simple nerf or balance change like most people complain about... for the most part Riot is very good with balance and most champs only need minor tweaks... (omg i lost 0.1 AP ratio on one skill! unplayable now!)...

It was an organized attempt by Riot to totally get rid of Heimer in ranked play because they felt he was toxic and ruining the game. He was not just 'slightly in need of a tweak'... They basically HALFED his power and seriously tore apart EVERY ONE of his abilities to make sure nobody would have to face him, because they were getting so many complaints about his laning.

This guy had a 95% ban rate in ranked, so they made sure that he would be outclassed HARD by ANY other ap champ you could possibly pick late game to discourage people from taking him for his laning.
