How much do you hate Teemo?

Okay we all have been there, sitting there enjoying a nice day of League and the suddenly you see someone on the enemy team picked Teemo and now you want to down a bottle of bleach. I can't even begin to think of how many people want to get rid of him or at least nerf him. Please if you can explain what part of him takes any skill? Because from what i have seen...he doesn't, with no skill shot and a point and click blind i think it's pretty clear why people want to end their life because of this annoying champion. However i might be wrong and have a unpopular opinion about the little freak so tell me. How much do you hate him?

I don't. He's a fine champion with strengths and weaknesses and strong strategic implications when picked.

There's a lot of nuance to his mushroom game, his range is pretty low, he's inherently squishy and can't really afford to spend gold on durability, that makes a unique champ with appropriate strengths and weaknesses.

Not at all. He's been nerfed into the ground. First they cut his shroom AP ratio in half, then the duration in half. At this point, he's a worse version of Kayle. An AA - based mage, with some utility.

And why are you complaining this to us? I mean, everybody has their hated champions, but do they say and tell people, "I hate ________" If you hate Teemo, then the champion you played might be someone's else hateful champion. Besides, it's not Teemo's fault being annoying, it's actually the person playing him.

I guess to some point i am complaining but the bigger picture is that i wanted to know if anyone hates him because my friends i do so i wanted to see if anyone else did. As i said it's possible that i share a unpopular opinion and i guess i do. That's all i wanted to know, nothing more, nothing less.

Seems like the other way around. When I pick teemo my team just trashtalks me and tries to tilt me. Not very fun.

You can say Teemo takes no skill but then again the argument could be made about anyone toplane. Braindead tank meta where you can play like trash and still be super tanky mid-late game anyways.

I mean if you think Teemo takes no skill though, try climbing the lader with him. Suddenly you'll realize it's not that easy to play a squishy champion who's been nerfed to the ground.

I guess i can understand that, it makes sense that most people that do hate him are lower in skill and don't know how to deal with him. I actually made this post right after i had to deal with Teemo mid that babysat bot so it was part venting part wanting to know why so many people play him. Either way he will always just be a hated champion for me even though i now know that it's more so the player and not the champion,

I don't dislike him so much as the people playing him. It's most likely because I'm not at a level where people understand what really makes him effective beyond laning, and that basically turns into his team losing a champion for the late-game fights before we even get there. He's not hard to play mechanically, but he requires a strong macro game that most people can't play at my level. That or they're just trying to tilt the enemy with their pick, without realizing that it doesn't usually work like that. Those ones are even worse.

Thankfully I don't see him much, as I prefer the top lane myself.

Yeah but when my friend plays Tryndemere top it's a issue...

SachabotJan 26, 20161 votes

That's cause it's Teemo's job to beat champions like Tryn in lane, and Tryn needs to win his lane to be useful, or at least be able to farm it. Teemo stops both pretty well.

So basically my friends needs to get good and stop being a scrub? xD

I won't tell someone to not do something they enjoy, but.....pretty much. XD If he dies enough Teemo should leave lane now and again and he should be able to recover bit by bit and become a splitpushing monster. It's not gonna be a fun match, but if the Tryn's team can drag it out, it's doable.
