Homeguard does not work with Teemo.

Whenever I try to buy the Homeguard item 3255 enchantment for Teemo Teemo , the enchantment only works for 1 or 2 seconds, but then it stops completely. Could Riot Games please fix this bug?

Kind regards, Vestroia292

The homeguard enchantment stops working early if you enter combat, which is defined as either taking damage or dealing damage. So with Teemo, if someone steps on one of your mushrooms, you are dealing damage to them which means you enter combat, thus causing the homeguard enchantment to end early.

Im not saying this is the reason why it's stopping for you, but it definitely is a possibility.

Well, the thing about homeguard is that it's not always going to take effect immediately. You have to be out of combat for 8 seconds seconds before you can get the increased healing and speed boost. This is why you always get the effect after recalling because recalling takes 8 seconds.

However, if you are defending your base and you get low health so you walk back to the fountain, odds are that you'll get there in less than 8 seconds, so you're going to have to wait a little bit for the homeguard effect to even activate.

That's the only thing I can think of that might be happening, if it's not that, then yeah it's being buggy.

EDIT: I read the homeguard tooltip and it says "Bonus Movement Speed and regenration are disabled for 6 seconds upon dealing or taking damage" so you might have to only wait 6 seconds before you get the homeguard passive, but the same principle still applies.
