"Hello everyone! After a bit of time, the next big thing from the Relaunch Team is here and ready for testing! He's small! He's yellow! He's got a mechanical arm that I'd use for highfives! It's Heimerdinger! Please feel free to leave feedback in this thread regarding Heimerdinger or any related bugs you encounter. Your feedback here will influence the changes we make, as well as aiding us in our future champion Visual Upgrades. Expect to see many new features with the 'dinger. His abilities aren't the only thing that he's able to UPGRADE!! New models, new turrets, new ult turrets, new VO, new animations, new SFX, new VFX: the works! In addition to all of this, Heimerdinger has created an invention that will allow for MAXIMUM SWAG OUTPUT! By utilizing any of Heimerdinger's emotes (/joke, /taunt, /dance, /laugh), this Yordle will swap between two different runs! Please post all bugs and feedback that you have in this thread! I'll be constantly (and obsessively) checking your posts! Now is the time to experiment FOR GREAT SCIENCE!"
