Idea to make Teemo viable again

Greetings league players,

Does any one else remember the old feeling of playing teemo before the nerfs. I understand the necessity for them but i still miss old teemo. I was playing with a teemo on my team the other day when i got a idea for a teemo update.

My idea centers around the main point of teemo (in my opinion). That's TON OF SHROOMS. Now i know some of you that hate teemo are going to click on this and complain PLEASE FINISH READING FIRST.

R: Noxious Trap RANGE: 230 COST: 75 / 100 / 125 mana COOLDOWN: 1 Recharge Time: 35 / 31 / 27 30/25/20

Teemo places a mushroom trap on the ground for 10 minutes, which stealths and arms after 1 second. While armed, the traps grant vision in a 300-radius. If an enemy comes within 60-range of the trap, it will detonate, slowing and putting a debuff on them for 3 seconds. If teemo AA a champ with this debuff the take 100 / 200 / 300 magic damage (+ 70% AP) If teemo walks 2500 from the mushroom it goes dormant and sucks into the ground and provides 150 less vision if teemo walks back into the area the mushroom will take a second to re-arm

This allows more counter play to teemo mushrooms if the enemy team can track where teemo is they can effectively remove his mushrooms, safely. This also prevents teemo kills across map. Infact if teemo is fed simply buying item 3139 can remove the debuff so they may avoid taking the damage. Yet For teemo this gives him the ability to burst enemys if he can position correctly. Also this (yet again in my opinion) gives teemo a solid spot in team comps that i dont believe he fits in right now. This also makes teemo actually have a identity in team fights. If he places a mushroom in a correct spot and has item 3085 he can burst most of the enemy team then clean them up with the passive E damage.

I think what i have recommended here will not only make teemo viable again but keep him fair enough for enemy counter play. I will admit i am not amazing at making champion updates so if any of the number appear OP please leave a comment below and i will try to fix them

Who said he is not viable anymore? He is more of a niche pick now rather then a kill-everyone-and-everything-no-matter-what pick like he use to be.

Teemo is still good. Teemo support is where it's at.

I think teemo is stil alright..
If he buys some ap and runa hur hes 1 hell of a split pusher

his shrooms do les damage sure... But he can split push deep as hell putthing shrooms everywhere seeing people comming

walking back hide somewhere a bit back go invis once the noob who came to stop your splitpushing leaves again replace your shrooms and start sieging towers again

having an enemy walk over a shroom still is a great time for your team to iniate

having him place shrooms everywhere can really mess up a junglers gank

Teemo needs a more extensive rework than this before Riot is likely to allow him to be powerful (ie. not UP)
