He is balanced. Raw damage is not means for "op" unless its completely bogus numbers. Determining factors in damage on a spell include but are not limited to. Cc, utility, range, weather it is skillshot aoe passthrough coliding or targeted, the cooldown of the spell, damage over time or on the spot damage ect ect ect. It is also affected by base stats, is your champion naturally tanky do u have mobility and so forth.

Look at veigar ive seen 2000 ap veig literally farm champs with a single q that has like 4 second cooldown. But he is low range low mobility so he can be shutdown with crazy mobility champs deleting hom or picked off from afar by champs like velkoz.

I know this is a huge paragraph but basically heimer doesn't have super short cooldowns ridiculous range or high mobility. So naturally he needa to dish out damage to survive.
