As a top, perhaps not, but he's an amazing mid. Once you've set up two or three turrets, your enemy midlaner will be completely zoned out, and the jungler can't gank you without taking heavy damage or getting killed. If you're against a squishy midlaner, you can also try poking them with your W until they're at about half health, then R+W and pop them under their turret. Heimer's also got amazing splitpushing ability thanks to his mini-turrets, and his R+Q can take down enemy turrets surprisingly quickly. He also scales way better off of cooldown reduction than he used to, so I recommend you build that on him.
