I don't care what you say, Teemo, Aatrox and Darius need MASSIVE BUFFS.

Haven't seen Teemo, Aatrox or Darius in competitive pro-play for ages. These champions are unviable and need some MASSIVE BUFFS to become viable. This is a fact, don't even bother saying otherwise.

Logic please.

  1. Aatrox : He needs a small buff - more so in maintaining his tanky aspect or improving his dueling abilities. Aatrox either gives up damage or sustainability and his sustain isn't enough on its own and makes him get shut down quickly in most team play situations. Also, Aatrox is a duelist vs being a tanky crowd control. He truly lacks any hardcore CC besides a small area knock up and a few slows.

2.Teemo : He doesn't need a buff because he isn't necessarily bad. He's just easy to counter - but that doesn't mean you should insanely improve upon him. I see Teemo as more of an annoying harass poke rather than an executioner-PENTA God. So with that being said - Teemo is in a good place. LCS players don't use him because all you need a bursting Khazix Akali Diana Kassadin to put him in his place.

3 Darius : Any good player knows CC fucks Darius in the ass. Hard. Snares, Stuns and slows are a darius's nightmare while the enemy team dances around him and kites him before a jump-in assassin execution. He's simply TOO IMMOBILE to do anything. But good Darius's take this into consideration and itemize correctly to mitigate the crowd control put onto him. The reason he isn't picked in LCS is because Darius is immobile - his kit is massive damage and heavy ass dueling - simply kiting him is enough to shut him down. With ADC popular picks being: Ashe Vayne Caitlyn Jinx Graves - Kiting is just bread and butter and makes Darius useless in almost all scenarios.

teemo aatrox and darius opest champ in lol need a buff. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

AHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA

teemo ap with 40%CDR and luden echoe does 1300damage against 100Mr resist. and there is no oracle. good luck with that and teemo mushorrom with 40%CDR is insanely low. http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/5g6A2dnB-teemo-mushroom-does-1300damage-on-100-magic-resist-4000hp-target

aatrox is extremly op. With mercury boot, frozen mallet, botrk, ga, malmortius, thornmail he has 270armor, 200mr and you cannot kill him because he lifesteal too much with his 300+AD. also he get ton of attack speed from passive and ulti. He's litterally unkillable lategame. not to mention GA+revive = 2 lives. it's instant win in teamfight you can't kill him. he's second most op champ.

darius is extraordinarly op too : http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/pmiu16i5-did-you-know-darius-had-40-perma-as-reduction-debuff?show=flat

40% attack speed debuff, is extremly op, not to mention his PERMA SLOW !! yes perma slow with full CDR.

it's because lcs player are noobs. they change every year their build, but almost nothing happened. well actually they increase over time but i still find lcs player noobs. They were etremly noobs in 2012-2013 thou, so they are better but still noobs.

Teemo will likely get a small rework to replace his E with an active ability, giving him poison as a passive somewhere else.

Teemo doesn't need a rework, he needs a buff.

He needs a rework. His ult is useless in big maps. His E is pretty useless early game. His W is decent, but is one of those abilities I rather choose Q over. His passive is terrible.

His ult is amazing, his E is very good :)

DrCyanide1 votes

His E is good, and is key to him, but it's eating up a full ability slot in a League where those types of abilities are passives on active abilities slots. Look at Ekko's W, Kalista's W or E, or others. You won't find a new champion with an ability slot that's just a passive.

What will most likely happen is that he'll get an active ability that deals damage, getting the E as a free passive, similar to Ashe's rework.

So that will be a buff, fine by me :) Buff Teemo <3

When you get ganked, drop shrooms and kite around them, they are very active, gitgud breh, there is a reason I have diamanda icon, I know what I am talking about. Teemo has great design, but needs buffs. His shroom damage got nerfed a long time ago, that was a mistake, he needs massive buffs.

karruck1 votes

will try that...like i said i love teemo,the many diff builds you can use to be great top lane...or maybe any lane dunno i go top with him while playing with the wife and he rocks

Wait what?...

His E is very strong early game. Twitch is the one with a weak poison early game. Also his is good no matter what map you're on. There are choke points everywhere.

DrCyanide got to the point. Not to mention Twitch avoids Magic Resist.

In terms of balance, yes Aatrox could be buffed in a way. But for the other two Darius Teemo, no. And here is why you won't see them in the LCS. Both Darius and Teemo have MASSIVE counterplay mechanics. Pro players can exploit these mechanics and get shut out for an entire game. By your logic then Heimerdinger and Malzahar need buffs then too. Pro play does not make the champs played OP.

Buff Heimer and Malz, all champions should be strong enough to be picked for Pro-Games.

PolarTroop1 votes

Both are strong but it doesn't make sense to have champion suppress himself in a fight and Heimer can have his turrets destroyed. They both are actually strong champions. Its just the counter play potential against these champions.

Okay, if you suggest that 2 of the top 3 highest winrate mid champs in plat+ need a buff, then you're an obvious troll.

Yeah, when he was released, not now.

EffectFX1 votes

Not just when he was released. He was seeing EU LCS play more than a year after his release, including play time at Worlds last year and consistently performed well.

It's funny because people keep suggesting the wrong buffs for Aatrox (never mind they keep building him poorly). This current meta isn't too terrible for him either.

Wasn't Aatrox seen during the LCS Spring split? Forgot if it's NA or EU.

Darius no way Teemo not really. Maybe a tweak on his W, but he's fine. Aatrox Yes. I'd say increase his base stats and decrease his healing so he doesn't have such a difficult time during the laning phase.

Marthian1 votes

Teemo does NOT need buffs on his already toxic kit (no pun intended.) He needs reworked.

Teemo doesn't need buffs.

Pros actually buy wards.

NemeBro1 votes

Before Darius gets a buff he needs a bugfix.

The fact that his W doesn't apply the attack speed slow is a big blow to his dueling ability.

That his bleed doesn't do the full damage is another big problem.
