So Teemo is getting nerfed again... why exactly ?

Did C9 use it in another shrooms-packed victory against TSM or what ?

As a Teemo main, let me tell you that these PBE "changes" are a nerf of the magnitude of that insane 30% damage reduction on shrooms...

Decaying slow and increased arming time ? WELP I'M NOT ESCAPING A GANK WITHOUT FLASH EVER AGAIN.
Might as well auto-lose all trades vs any kind of dashing champ while we are at it.

10 mins duration to 5 mins ? Make my ultimate 50% less effective why dont you... I love how you didnt even increase the max amount of carried shrooms by 1 or 2 to give Teemo remotely any kind of objective's presence on part of the map where he actually needs more than 3 shrooms to DO ANYTHING.

**But oh look ! it bounces, it's so cute. ! Yeah because I really needed that shit to be useful in a splitpush or a teamfight. ** It doesn't even bounce twice to give shrooms' placement some kind of cool / edgy meaningful placement interaction. It could as well not bounce and just say : "If you throw 2 shrooms in a row, the casting range of the second shroom is increased by 30%" What a waste.

Also stealth is still useless and always will be if you think Teemo's gameplay should be about camping bushes and staying immobile AF to try to 1v1 random facecheckers. Heck, controlling the bushes pre-6 and all-ining Teemo if he tries to stand and fight you in melee range is actually one of the strongest counters to Teemo's supposedly godlike lane bullying (which actually only really works vs non-gapcloser, auto-attack reliant, AD Melee champions... how many is that again ? OH YES NASUS.)

Do you guys even PLAY Teemo or do you just go "Man, this serious Teemo's skin was such a bust according to Marketing... We need to go back to the cuteness' well ASAP : Poro Teemo's skin ? Fizz's Teemo Skin ? OH WAIT B O I S ! I GOT IT : Bouncing shrooms ! Pass me some of them while you are drawing the new Fiora's splash, Steven..."

I'd rather have it removed and get PD or Fizz move-through units' passive (which should be PASSIVE IN MOVE QUICK ANYWAY).

** I would at least have partially understood if Teemo was picked somewhere in some LCS (like Veigar Support was in KR / CN before his amazing NERFWORK) or if he had +50% win rates in some ELO (49.23% monthly overall atm).**

RIP in Peperino my sweet dark prince of the Hellish NetherRealms

EDIT : ALSO DAMN SCUTTLE CRABS STILL RUINING MY SHROOMS IN RIVER !! How many champs get their ULTIMATE countered by SCUTTLE CRABS ?! THAT'S RIGHT ! SAY MY NAME !

You didn't mention the buffs though.

The shrooms were given more utility in team fights since you can throw them 900 range at max rank
