Will Teemo Ever See Major Changes?

GarthBrooksIV··2 votes·792 views

I really love everything about teemo except how everyone hates him and always sends their jungle and mid up top to kill him xD. I wonder what could possibly be changed about teemo to make him a viable pick in lcs play, or if that would even be a goal for Riot?

If Teemo gets a rework before Aatrox I would lose my shit

Aatrox isn't broken.. he actually needs a buff interms of his early game / 1v1 against most people , he's very useless unless the jungler donates him kills.. unlike him , teemo is VERY broken and is extremely EASY to play...

Ive honestly considered building a sightstone when i play top lane lol. 800g and the slot probably not viable for teeto tho... It would be nice if jungle would help by killing scuttle and maybe getting item 3711 to help lanes that are getting camped.

It's really not a bad thing to buy, the 150 health is 400 gold so half cost effective, but 3 wards = 225 gold if you put it in pinks, so It becomes cost effective after your 2nd back. If you decrease it from the 300 gold u would of given the enemy jungler then it already divies out. It does put a change on some of your damage output, but you don't wan't to get it tell like your first or close to your first item maybe. but I guess it really comes down to how much you'll make use of it. Would be cool if you could bounce shrooms off wards

teemo needs to be like gangplank to be viable in high level of play. gangplank is pretty much the only glass cannon champion played in top lane in lcs. and even he can build a defensive item. teemo is easy to counterplay against and he can't build tanky successfully. gnar is way better.

I would suggest moving some of his power budget around. Maybe a higher cooldown on the blind and/or reduced mushroom damage in exchange for greatly increased on-hit and poison damage from Toxic Shot. Taking both nerfs would allow us to increase the vision radius of the mushrooms.

Both the reason Teemo is so frustrating as well as the reason he's not viable is because of his ultimate. His mushrooms are frustrating, but since they're so much of his power budget and pros know how to play against it, he's not seen in pro play. By swapping some of his power to Toxic Shot and reducing damage from the mushrooms, it shifts his build into a Runaan's based AP/AS build with items like item 3115 and item 3091 . Now, 3-item Teemo is a force to be reckoned with, and he's a late game hypercarry who can take over games a la GP (of note, Teemo is a great matchup into GP).

I want teemos shrooms to be like Cait's traps so they cant be countered with pinks and sweeper(but i realize the stealth shrooms are a big part of teemos identity so idk if riot would do it) and something similar to what you have above. Maybe a little more range?

Teemo's shrooms deal 300 damage and can be placed...quite a lot for zone control. No oracles or detection on him might break him, lmao.

The shrooms would be visible tho

If Teemo is picked in a pro match, it's considered an accident, a joke, or an insult to the enemy team. The hate for him is teenager meme bullshit, and it's pretty disappointing to me that Riot encourages it and allows one of their champs to remain accident/joke/insult status. He has one attack and a cheesy ult. Seems to me there should be plenty of room there to figure out a way to give him some team fight capability and a little viability for lcs play. I realize there are many champs that deserve reworks, I would just like to see Tee on the list somewhere.

There are actually people who play him successfully in master/challenger, but I agree, I hate how he is considered a joke... He's one of Riot's most iconic and beloved/hated champs. I want to see him(and a few other champs...annie <3) fit the meta. If teemo has like item 3085 item 3146 item 3022 for example, he can team fight decently. I think maybe a big problem is that teemo needs as much peel as a mid laner and the adc in teamfights, and he doesnt give the tankyness/cc a meta top laner gives. I'm not sure how Riot could fix it or if they would be motivated to.

I don't think they are motivated to do anything with him. It seems to me they are fine with his meme status, and if I was on one of their creative teams it would embarrass me. There are plenty of little things about this game that annoy or frustrate me, and this is pretty high on the list for me. Seriously Riot, have a little pride in your work.

Yeah I think hes mostly meant to be just a fun champ to play in dynamic q.

Warmanreaper1 votes

You basically want to buff him?! Jesus christ what has this community come to.. They need to nerf him.. Make him a skill cap champion or nerf him so he cant out range , out poke , out damage 99% of the characters..

He needs a greater attack range and his W should be replaced with a dash that grants a temporary shield. Do this, and he would become viable in competitive play. The shrooms are too easy to sweep and he lacks the mobility/range/tankiness to be viable in teamfights or even skirmishes if someone doesn't hit his shrooms to give him an advantage.

his Q has to be reworked, a point & click blind is OP, it has 0 counterplay
