To put it in context for you, his E does a pitiful amount of damage in comparison and to get the hard CC aspect you have to aim it properly. Heimer's W is his only source of burst damage, the grenade is basically just utility, and his turrets need time to deal damage. As his only burst damage ability it has a lot of damage IF you land the entire ability. Look at AP Nidalee, only her spear scales on AP for damage in humn form, and as such it has really high scaling and damage POTENTIAL.

It isn't like having a high damaging ability that takes skill to use is a new thing.
