The Apex Turret offers a ton of deceptive burst damage, actually. A lot of people discount its laser, which can chunk huge holes in most people's HP, and do not forget that it offers complete AoE damage with a decent slow on top. I either preemptively place my turrets in anticipation of a fight or during a fight. For the former your turret's lasers can offer a lot of tiny bursts and if placed strategically they won't be instantly blown to bits. In the latter case, I often stick near my ADC and use the turrets as defense for him.

To address your question directly, Heimer is a great fit on seiging and poke comps. Turrets offer simple, easy wave clear while rocket harass slowly whittles the enemy team.
