"and what did you expect from such a substandard intelligence..." is Heimer's taunt quote... get a sense of humor.

But yeah, he used to be a lot better... he got the Riot nerf bat treatment a la Eve, they beat him and his kit into the ground because people were banning him every time and they had no idea how to fix it with simple balance changes. They tried lowering his tower damage, lowering his ap ratios, lowering his ranges, and he was still getting banned, nothing worked until they also got rid of his third turret, which along with all the other nerfs finally made him weak enough that nobody would pick him.

People were banning him every game back then. He had the best ranges, more defensive turrets with better health, range, and ratios, a lot more tower damage, and more reliable and stronger damage to make up for his squishiness... mainly because he made seiging his teams towers all but impossible and was able to push down towers in minutes without the enemy mid being able to do a thing about it.

Other teams couldnt get in range to even poke his team and turrets without taking massive damage from his old more powerful longer ranged grenades and longer ranged rockets, and they couldn't get close to his tower without dealing with his nest of 3 turrets, which used to each have better AP ratios and the same range as Ashe; having to try and poke and destroy them before they could even deal with his team.
