If he uses his grenade at the right time (when you are coming in to attack him or his turrets) and leads you or hits you when you are attacking, you aren't going to dodge it, and if he places his turrets correctly and plays right, his turrets will not be easy to poke, he will punish you for it with autoattacks, grenades and possibly missiles. Also, yes, he can't rocket you if you keep 3 minions in front of you (unless he flashes or positions in a way that manages to make you closer to him than one of them), but the second there are less than 3.. he WILL get you from extreme range, and there is no way to avoid those missiles without moving far away well before that. Basically, it lets him safely farm while chipping you down at least a little every wave (though if all he can get you with is a rocket a wave, you should be able to at least farm against him just fine, probably outfarm him.)

As for how to beat LB or Kass, it's all about knowing their ranges and his range... LB is easy to die to if you are not careful, but Heimer can farm safely from just out of even her doubleflash range, while poking her every wave. If anyone tries to dive him, and he is keeping his range properly, and setting his turrets right, using his grenade right, they will not be able to get him with their combo, meanwhile they will take a lot of damage any time they try to poke him at all (at least a rocket to the face and several turret hits, probably a grenade hit and a few autoattacks too).
