So, I love dinger, he's one of my absolute favorite champs and I can really get a lot of bang out of him and his kit using a variety of builds.

But I recently laned against a semi-competent Ziggs(Read: Spammed every ability he had, including satchel at me. Went OOM repeatedly) and I realized just what Heimerdinger's problem with power creep is: he's just not a mobile champ.

He can't keep up with all these new mages that have more mobility and more poke than him, even most bruisers are getting wise to his tricks and are able to piledrive their way through his turrets. I'm not saying that I know how to fix Heimer, I'm just saying, from a frequent player perspective, that his troubles stem from his lack of mobility and his ability to adapt on the fly, as opposed to guys like Brand, Xerath, Ziggs, Ahri... etc etc.

I think he's an old champ who needs a bit more OOMPH when stacked against these newcomers.
