hybrid blows because then you have neither good physical damage or good magic damage. just go straight ap
actually I went full tank heimer ONCE because I had to do a situational build in order to help our team win. we did end up winning, but it was a very very peculiar case

Why wouldn't you just use Annie or Anivia or something?

heimer is a situational pick. his burst isn't as high or reliable as annie or anivia but he has other advantages. annie for instance, cannot deal sustained dps once her burst is gone. anivia can to an extent, but her extent in that regard is limited. heimer has both burst and sustained dps, can harass really really hard, and can zone really well
I'll send some of my best replays if you're curious

Tear of the Goddess (upgraded to Arch's Staff later)
Sorc Shoes
Rylai's
Zhonya's
Abyssal Scepter
Will of the Ancients
That way I give my allies three helpful auras (2 items plus passive). I throw up QQRW, maybe an E before I Zhonya's and watch my allies destroy everything.

yeah that's some junsupport build but I think it's stupid
doran ring x2 OR doran ring/chalice of harmony
sorc shoes/deathcap
hourglass
rylai/void staff
alternative tankier build for situational cases is
doran ring/catalyst
sorc shoes/haunting guise
rod of ages
void staff
I almost never grab archangel's because it costs way too much for very little power, and I don't need the mana
