^ agreed, but he can get quite a good lead in laning and pretty much totally shut down the enemy laner if they let him, which really makes him a lot harder to deal with for the entire enemy team... since a mid already has a level advantage on most of the enemy team, you never want a mid that has been doing extremely well around, especially in that critical phase in mid game where you are having your first team fights... a strong mage can really stomp a mudhole in the enemy at that point, and if he has a ton of gold early Heimer can get nasty, as he scales with AP pretty well now. Late game, he still has problems in team fights, but the problem for the enemy team is making it to late game once he gets a strong lead like that.
