Teemo's Blind could use an update

Well I'm seeing this as a common thing now, as I'm a Teemo top player, that Quinn basically counters him pretty hard due to her longer reach on her Blind skill as well as the fact that it is a TOTAL Blind, blocking full vision except for the small circle around you. Since Graves has a similar Blind and I don't know many over champs with a Blind affect at all, I thought I'd ask why Teemo hasn't been given this Total Blind like the others? I know the first thing some will say "but Quinn and Graves's blinds are SKILL SHOTS and Teemo's is just 1 click auto hit". Yeah well it also doesn't have the same range the others do cause they can hit theirs before mine is in range with it, I know I've seen it as I will lead with my Q when I know I need to. Also Teemo's Blind is Single Target whereas Graves and Quinn's is AOE.

As much as I know Teemo is hated by all, he needs a bit of tooling in his kit, it's also an issue that the shrooms are having smaller trigger zones than what is displayed by the circles around them when they are planted and steathed, players need to be fully on top of them instead of the listed area they will trigger from, even have seen them brushed against and never triggered. Updating his Blind to a Total Blind like Quinn and Graves, and making sure the trap trigger zones work properly will give this champion what he needs to fit back into the mold without people whining too much about how weak he is or how he is taking the place of (tank in top, mage in mid, and adc/support in bot) the lane he is in. He can still do well 1v1 against some champs sure, but his lack of tools for team fights outside of shroom slow makes it hard to get the team to support your decision to go with Teemo, no matter the position you're in. This leads to some toxicity and rage which then leads to feeding and reports when the team tries to punish the "troll who picked Teemo" even when it's someone just going with his best champ.

Quinn's blind's damage is AOE, only one person is blinded by it though.

You're asking for Teemo to be even more invalidated by Oracles. His passive and R is already countered by it, and with Q as well, Teemo would have very little outplay than he already does.

Teemo needs his blind because he is a squishy furball, without it he'd get instantly deleted and would probably be stuck playing his Mallet/Hurricane build, completely killing AP

Teemo's blind is point-and-click.

Quinn's isn't.

Point-and-click pretty much has no counterplay (aside from spell shields). Remove his point-and-click and make it like Quinn's, then it can receive a rework. :)
