@Riot, Teemo is still struggling. He needs a damage buff, not a range buff.

Teemo buffs lately have been all about his range. Teemo needs a DAMAGE buff, you knocked down shrooms so far, that they aren't even good to build around anymore. They get disabled by oracle, they don't even last that long(seriously 10 min to 5 minutes nerf is too hard.), and they won't produce enough damage( ap ratio nerf was necessary, but too much). You guys said that he was struggling in season 5, and he's STILL struggling now. He doesn't melt tanks at all, he doesn't even pose a threat towards juggernauts, ESPECIALLY for late game. Please do something @Riot, Teemo shouldn't have to suffer for another season...

Because he doesn't need straight damage buffs to be viable. He has different issues in his kit that make people not want to play against him.

He's only really mobile so long as he doesn't get caught; or, put even more negatively, he's usually fucked if he's caught. He took significant cuts to the largest portion of his power budget, his traps, but the rest can't be buffed because he's "perfectly viable" in lane. He has fairly decent ratios for an ap marksman, but he functionally takes a caster build.

For some reason, his poison (E) is an ability and not a secondary passive.

Whenever Teemo is good, he's oppressive because he's supposed to be the epitome of the anti-melee anti-aa lane bully. At the same time, it destroys the viable of a large portion of champions in general because Teemo's windows to counterplay his anti-tools aren't large, especially post-6. This is why so many melee champions can shit on Teemo; he's intentionally weak so that top lane melees don't have to suffer his bullshit.

Don't get me wrong, I love the little shit, but precisely because he's a little shit.

he's not meant to be viable

It's hopeless. Any Teemo thread get instantly downvoted/ignored. I should know, made a few recently asking Riot if Teemo was gonna get more follow-up since he is still struggling this season more then ever before.

I think you can see there is a problem when THE anti AA champion is not being even considered in triple ADC meta (kinda like if Malphite and Rammus weren't picked at all).

Everyone just move so fast now his W seems obsolete (not that it was ever a great ability, but now the active is so underwhelming). Also, item 3364 hurt him so much.

His kit is just so old and outdated. He need a small scale rework.

Top damage dealt in top lane role: Damage Dealt 28027 2 / 57 Karthus top is the only one (The guy that deals insane AOE damage and when ult hits every one in the map) that deals more damage than teemo. Teemo damage is fine.

I would be okay with it if they knocked it down to 7 minutes, but 5 minutes, really? Teemo is used for map control, and they knocked down the duration without equalizing damage...

Teemo will always do most damage, he doesn't need damage buffs all he needs is range/utility buffs his damage is fine where it's at already.

..He doesn't need any buffs. People just need to stop assuming they'll one shot people early game, it happens mid/late game.

Teemo is fun in every way!

His winrate is over a 49% thats a lot better than a lot of other tops atm. Buffs not needed as Teemo does the most or close to the most damage by the end of the game.

a range buff would be way stronger for teemo, he already deals absurd damage when he can deal damage.

he needs a rework, his shrooms are so toxic (pun intended). the real issue is his blind, without out he'd die immediately but with it hes oppressive if you use autos. I like the idea of him being a hit and run burst damage dealer, but his shrooms hinder in so many ways. They would better suited as a basic ability, as it stands he either does no damage, or he melts faces.

how about no

Drulez3/7/2016, 1:50:59 AM1 votes

Teemo can get reworked, but for what reason? His kit just needs mobility and more damage. I mean, they can change his E into a passive/skill hybrid like darius' W, but other than that, I see no room as to how to keep him as the most hated/loved champion and symbol of league by changing his kit.

I just want the 10minute duration back. And allow stack the damage of multiple shrooms... would ne nice.
