Ok, first off, this is a remodel and a remake. You have the perfect ability to flatout disagree and have rights to say he doesn't need a reamke. Just bear with me. This is a half-fun, half-serious remake. I hope to capture the element that people like about Hiemerdinger and also make him a viable AP defense master.
Here is how this thread is gonna go. First I will post why he needs to be remade. Then I will post Hiemerdinger as he is currently. Then I will post possible remake(s) to Hiemerdinger.

Why remake our favorite Yordle Inventor?
Hiemerdinger rarely sees competitive play, and is even rare to see normal play. he is a rare pick, and for good reason. In teamfights and other forms of important gameplay, such as ganks, he just doesn't cut it. People would much rather take champions like Brand, Ahri, or Kassadin. I hope to give Hiemerdinger the ability to actually be used while keeping his pros intact. I have chosen Hiemerdinger to remake because he is somewhat UP and is getting very outplayed.
What if we don't want him remade? He is fine the way he is!
I don't expect you to want him remade. I like his playstyle and think is is fun. However, I believe there is too many counters to him and people just don't play him often. If you disagree with these remakes, feel completely free to be so. I'm not trying to force these changes on anyone.
He just needs a buff.
Will that cut it? If we buff Hiemerdinger, will he be vaible? Maybe. His kit is more structured around defending towers and pushing lanes. He isnt as "in the fray" as popular AP carries, making him much less used. He has very poor chasing and is very easy to defeat. His kit is majorly out of meta, and is considerably weak in current days. With the current release of Zyra, she has that very strong presence AP fortress while still being a able attacker that Hiemerdinger failed to be created with.

Why compare Hiemerdinger to Zyra?
Both Zyra and Heimerdinger have the feel of a AP fortress. While they are still vastly different, Heimerdinger is very weak and lacks what Zyra has. Heimerdinger and Zyra both have a 'turret' so to speak, and they both can very quickly break down a minion wave. They both use AP and both have decent damage. Zyra, however, is much better.
Why is Zyra more viable than Heimerdinger?
Zyra can be built so that she can rip up enemies with her abilities with her plants as a secondary fortess build. She can stand toe to toe with her enemies' while Heimerdinger is forced to drop his turrets, lob his grenade, shoot his rockets, and run. The biggest thing that makes Zyra more viable than Hiemerdinger is that Zyra can chase and escape her enemies well with her E, while she can also effectively deal poke and good damage. She also has much more survivability in teamfights and has immense presence in teamfights. Hiemerdinger doesn't. Additionally, Zyra's 'turrets' have more survivability to a point. AoE's, while quickly being able to destroy Hiemerdinger's turrets, only do a set amount of damage to Zyra's turrets. In addition, basic attacks cannot so easily obliterate Zyra's Seeds as they can Hiemerdinger's turrets. It rakes 3 basic attacks to destroy a plant, while t times, one or wto hits is all it takes for Hiemer's turrets. In addition to that, Zyra's plant deal far more burst damage and can be placed afar.
Should we just switch Hiemerdinger's turrets into th same system as Zyra's plants?
No. Heimerdiner's turrets have health, which synergizes with his passive and also is interesting. Switching his turrets would destroy the very fabric off what makes Heimerdinger so special. His turrets feel like some anti-minion SIege minon.
So what IS good about Hiemerdinger?
Hiemerdinger has the passive turret heal, which makes him very strong in a lane. Plus, his turrets last forever, or at least as long as they can survive and are not replaced. This helps hold a constant defense. He has long range poke with his rockets and has good minion clearing AoE abilities. He is somewhat beneficial in teamfighhts due to his slows, blinds, and stuns. He also is great at kiting people.
What is BAD with Hiemerdinger?
He has very low defenses and very low health. His W applies no utility other than 3 person damage, which can very easily be avoided by hiding behind minons, as they are not champion seeking. He has low to no hard CC, and his slows on his turrets can be easily forgotten by most abilities. He has very poor ganks and has trouble with being offensive. His turrets can be easily AoE'd down, or generally focused.

This new forn of Hiemerdinger alows him to be more active in teamfights and ganks, qas well as in running away, sniping creeps, and in all important aspects of gameplay. He can now effectively gank someone by plaing 2 turretas in the path of retreat and using his ultimate. He then fires his W, stunning the enemy slightly and allowing him to follow up with another 1.5 stun from his E. In teamfights, his ult upgraded W will give a .5 sec delay to enemy assaults, which can be tremendously helpful. Hs turrets also take less damage so they cannit be so easily focused down.
Well I hope you like the rework for him.
