Why no one plays Heimerdinger ?
Hi guys im here for asking a question: Why no one plays heimerdinger ? he has an OP pushing power and his rockets can destroy the entire enemy team when he has his ulti activated, also he can blind/stun the entire enemy team. so why his popularity is only 0,70% ?

He does well when enemies are baited into his turrets but his e is too unreliant, his w drops all on bruisers in teamfights, his turrets can't move along with the teamfights, and he has no other reliable sorts of damage besides his w. He can't initiate a fight well as well and can hardly touch the enemy carries unless in skirmishes early on.
He's getting a rework don't worry.
And as a caster you need to have a presence in the fight. Against any smart enemy you won't be able to dive the carries wihtout being destroyed.
And define "ranked match"
you can play anything in silver, gold, hell even plat
Jungledinger is hella op, he barely takes any dmg, and can counter jungle surprisingly well if he strategically sets his turrets similar to Shaco when he sets his boxes in places guaranteeing his enemy wont escape.
The Dinger's pushing capabilities can be abused to bait a gank from the enemy jungle, allowing your jungle to set up a strong countergank beforehand. With help from teleport or lvl 5 boots, heimer can actively apply pressure on ALL THREE LANES. Just set one turret in each lane and yourself mid. I hope riot adds cc to one of dinger's ability. A slow on his rockets would improve his ability to avoid ganks, and would make the dinger a scary ganker :). Plus his walking animation is dumb af.
He can be good though, just very situational. You can counter a lot of roamers and gankers, such as Evelynn, by forcing her to stay in lane to clear waves at her turret. This can be easily achieved with other mids as well (Lux and Orianna both pretty much oneshot minion waves...), so it's not really that great.
His poke is also very effective for shutting down some melee champs, most notably mordekaiser, since you can basically prevent his passive, and outpush him. Some melee champs (Kassadin, Katarina) owns Heimer because they can get in and out of range quickly, so they can basically avoid poke and chunk back effectively.
My advice is to use heimer as a counterpick.
