It is mostly a meme at this point.
For those who like melee champs like trynd his blind is very annoying.
His mushrooms use to be far far worse (better AP scaling, double the duration).

Bronzes have trouble understanding his kit and can't counterplay against him.

Do you know when i find Teemo annoying? When my adcs are too stupid to even think about buying a mercurial scimitar, then they rightclick him expecting to blow him up, then they miss, then they scream "TEEMO OP!"

Teemo is mostly just a running gag from back before Riot nerfed him into the "we don't want you to play this, so we'll make it so you can't" category.

Teemo is awful

"Annoying" is different than "Actually strong"

Teemo is a weak pick. And Riot keeps him weak intentionally because his kits is rage-inducing when strong.

These days it's mostly his Q and his Ult. His Ult is obvious - stepping on an invisible landmine and watching your health tick from 100% to 50% and knowing there is literally nothing you can do about it is horrible (and Sweeper's cooldown means it's not up nearly enough to keep up with the rate Teemo plops down mushrooms). His Q is a targeted nuke that also blinds - this means it can't miss, goes over minions so hiding behind them is useless, does a ton of damage, and utterly f's melee champions by removing their ability to last hit while blinded so they can't even ignore him and farm.

His kit may have weak numbers, but he is weak for a very good reason.

He's annoying because when my team picks him we almost never have a proper Tank and our hard engage is going to suck because of most Teemo's players' play style (which is to sit around, plant mushrooms, and stay invisible far away from the group). Meanwhile, the proper enemy tank is grouping up and actually zoning me from fights.

As a conventional 5 vs 5 team fight enthusiast I never work well with Teemos. That and they generally feed the lane when counterpicked.

Because he's cancer to lane against.

Where do I even begin? I take it you haven't played against a good Teemo or just haven't played against a lot of them in general.

_1. He counters pushing/snowballing/any kind of aggressive play. _

Good shroom placement, hell even average shroom placement can effectively stop many champions from pressing any kind of advantage they have. Even one shroom can demolish a squishy's health bar. With Liandry's Torment + Void Staff, even tanks/bruisers have to be careful not to walk through too many. Playing against a good Teemo as a roaming champion is an extremely tilting experience, as he more or less passively removes you from the game.

_2. For the same reason as above, he can be extremely oppressive when he gets ahead. _ -When his team is winning, good shroom placement can keep the opposing team from going anywhere without consequence, all while his team gains vision of the opponent's side of the map.

3. His targeted blind is annoying and there isn't much you can really do about it except not engage.

_4. If he's played badly, he pretty much makes the game a 4v5/2v3, ruining the fun for both his teammates and opponents. _

Personally, I don't mind having Teemo on my team, as I'm not a good early game player. If he's a least average, that means our team will guaranteed at least make it to mid game. I hate playing against him though.
