How to make Teemo less Dodge'd?

Kotex·Jun 13, 2015·3 votes·622 views

Greetings, forum dwellers, and gankers. I come to you today with a topic of great philosophy. To the point: How could Teemo be changed to be viable? Or at least a pick that people wouldn't doge 90% of the time they see him. Whether it's a Team builder lobby, or a pick lobby, people will more often than not dropout or kick/refuse if they ever see a teemo about to be on their team. No matter what role or position he is, top mid or bot, absolutely nobody ever wants to play with one for like any reason.

I mean i have played with and against some good teemo's and bad teemo's alike. But no better or worse than any other top of the charts meta pick that someone is playing well/messing up on, so specifically what is it about teemo, and what could be done to him to make people say "oooo a Teemo" from "Hell no not playing with a teemo :v"

I have never once been on a team where someone dodged because they didn't want to play with a Teemo.

I personally see it all the time oddly. Could just be a coincidence on my part. Doesn't seem like it though.

If it wasn't for the damn support and mid teemos in your damn promotionals.

I have literally never seen this happen. I play teemo and play with teemo ALL THE TIME.

I dodge teemo most of the time, just had one "support" our team by going 1/17/5.

The only time I'd ever consider dodging because someone picked Teemo is if they totally fucked the team comp (though it takes more than one person to do this) or picked Teemo into Yorick.

The thing is (at least in low levels of play) support Teemo can be viable. Mid lane he sucks because he's too immobile, too squishy, and doesn't have the range to farm against mages.

The problem with Teemo is that he screws up most team comps, but that's true of any squishy top lane champion. People dodge Quinn tops for the same reason. It isn't because Quinn top is bad (she actually counters a lot of top lane picks), it's because she forces the jungle and support to both tank.

I can agree with this :D
