Teemo Buffs?

From the PBE (I Know it's work in progress but shush) it looks like Teemo is getting buffs

Stealths after 1.5 secs instead of 2 Stealth twice as fast in brush Can move without breaking stealth in bush W now allows him to go invis instantly during it's sprint R "Tosses" a trap, if it hits another trap it will bounce 3/4/5 more teemos Actual unit of measurement before exploding Increased range on trap placement 230>300 Possibly lasts only 5 minutes instead of 10 slow decays now

Why does Teemo need a buff?

It's irrelevant. His mushroom timer's been halved. He's going to be garbage unless people play him as some kind of guerrilla teamfighter, where he'll probably end up as mediocre.

He can effectively have HALF as many mushrooms on the Rift. This is absolutely a significant net nerf.

Teemo does need a buff but that R time being cut in half is HUGE.

As a Teemo main:

I used to be able to shroom up top, go help team with drag, and old shrooms were still active. This happens 2+ times a game. At 5 minutes this won't work anymore...

These "buffs" are just nerfs in disguise. I swear when people stop bitching and Riot makes him viable, I and many others will finally be able to enjoy him.

He doesn't need a buff. He needs to be deleted.

I just lost against a Movespeed Teemo backcapping on Dominion. It was the most annoying thing ever. Now you're telling me Riot is buffing that?

This is not much of a buff, more of a nerf really. I'm pretty pissed that the duration has been halved, and the slow is less as well. Teemo is an annoyingly effective split pusher IMO and can control top well. Now I'll have to go crazy shroomthrowing tanky teamfighter Teemo rather than what I want to play him as. Also, I tried out the rework and throwing shrooms was too over hyped and is not really that great to be honest (I rarely ever bounce shrooms, as there is no need to most of the time). It's hard to actually get anyone in a teamfight since the shrooms are just not for that, with the long setup time and all (yes they nerfed that too, funny because they wanted the shrooms to be used in teamfights more). Teemo's shrooms were fine with the inderect scuttler nerf, pink wards, and sweepers. There was really no need to drastically nerf the shrooms like this. Anyone agree? disagree? I just wanted to get my feelings out about this because I dislike these changes and felt them unnecessary.

Nice of you to dedicate so little text to the two massive nerfs that are included in this set of prospective changes. And then call the totality 'a buff'.
