Yeah, I wasn't implying that he was anything close to viable for ranked, that game was in normals, and even the worst player with the worst champ can still get carried and win games sometimes (though I wasn't carried that game, I suspect my opponents were just bad...), also some weird lane comps just counter another comp when you wouldn't expect, and you win because you managed to shut down one of their key members' farm.

Heimer's main problem is that if enemy players really know what they are doing and deal with his turrets correctly (avoid them or kill them as soon as they pop up), they can easily negate the major portion of his damage, which is already pretty crappy to begin with thanks to all his nerfs; making him practically useless. He really needs to have bad players on the enemy team in order to be useful in teamfights.
