About Teemo.

Please, do something about Teemo, his winrate has gone from 52% down to 49%(according to op.gg). There is only one real core with Teemo, which is just Nashor's tooth into Liandries(which is Teemo's huge damage spike item that got nerfed too), and another problem with that is he's too squishy for top(because of the durability nerfs). Additionally, on-hit Teemo(bruiser style gameplay) is DEAD, straight up DEAD. Was it Riot's intention to just gut Teemo like this, and force every person to play specifically AP Teemo? Who knows.

I've reached Plat 1 using SMITE Teemo last season, Teemo's builds were so interchangeable, and you can experiment all you wanted on him. I didn't even NEED smite but what I mean by just having smite says that experimental builds like bloodrazor Teemo top makes him really versatile and adaptive.

Yes, I do agree that he needed a nerf due to all the rune changes, and how he meshed so well with aery. But in retrospect, now they are just too harsh. On-hit Teemo relied on his AD scaling, and frozen mallet(which is.. you guessed it, nerfed). All the alternative playstyles of Teemo are just erased. I have more than 1.4 million points as a one-trick Teemo, I could spend HOURS playing him, but now I can't even play him for more than 2 games without feeling sick. Moving on towards a new champion just doesn't feel the same.

I can not, and will not agree with this statement.

OP.GG giving statistics on a champ that averages it's ELO to Silver doesn't surprise me. I have a fluctuating WR in PLAT elo, of 51-53%

I build TANK and I build FULL AP. I used to play on-hit but now it is too obsolete to build.

Nashor - Liandries - Void

Nashor - Liandries - Morello

If I lane against Pantheon, I do my favorite thing. Tilt him beyond belief by going Frozen Heart and Liandries.

With Grasp BP and SW.

You have to adapt your playstyles rather than complain he is useless. You make the best of a champion through your knowledge and laning abilities.

I absolutely suck at CS and countering. I however do very well with countering a counter. ((My CS still sucks either way averaging at 150))

So no. I do not think he needs a change. 1.5million Mastery.

Teemo is stronger than ever.

I don't think 49% is reason to beg for buffs, at least not yet.

The problem with Teemo is that Riot out and out refuses to touch his kit. It's the same problem with assassins - if he's too strong, he's going to dominate and be oppressive. If he's not strong enough he provides nothing to the team and is really just a dead pick. He has no real utility, other than maybe having some vision when using his ultimate.

Teemo just needs reworked, and I say this as a frequent Teemo player. I'm tired of him fluctuating in usefulness all the time. -.-

Other champs that were nerfed because they were good with runes that later also got nerfed got some power back (like sona for example?) why cant teemo get something back?Teemo

Firstly teemo got indirectly fucked with rune nerfs, then directly fucked with stat nerfs, then indirectly fucked with buffs to all the sustain and tanky champs, directly fucked again on ap item changes, and indirectly fucked even more with shit like vlad and swain being so relatively powerful and also being played regularly in top lane.

I used to could fuck up a vlad if i played it correctly and now there is 0 chance to win lane or punish the fucking idiot hardly at all even if u do kill him a time or 2.

I Think its more that the new runes removed the abilty to do unique builds. You accidentily get a more balanced game but lose the identity of the characters that YOU built/desinged and adapted to the playstyle. Now its more cookie cutter and its just about picking the 5 champs that will beat the other 5. if you happen to pick wrong you get roflstomped.

Just because his win rate got low that doesn't mean he should get buffed...also no one likes fighting teemo

Bronze and silver tiers are clown fiesta, everyone builds full dmg almost every game and this elo is a joke. DO NOT BALANCE TEEMO BASED ON THIS ELO! Make him viable on the higher elos, I DON'T CARE for low elo, if its OP in low elo, they'll ban him. I want to play my Teemo in higher elo without feeling sick of how weak he is every time I play. It is time for Teemo to change for better. It just sucks to play teemo in plat+ elo.

It's all about support Teemo my man, trades are insane, and using stealth well can really tilt people. I have a blast.

His Q and global map presence due to his shrooms use up so much of his power budget that they'll have to nerf those in order to give him buffs. 49% winrate is actually pretty balanced, IMO.
