For God's Sake, Fix the unholyness that is known to the world of League under one name: Teemo

Every single game I fight Teemo in he's always the champion that makes me saltiest. I know he is beatable and I know there are ways to fight him but to me and the people I play with, he is the sole embodiment of the devil. His ultimate is literally the thing that makes anyone just walking through his lane have to go back to heal, his Q can just wreck if he casts it on someone, for instance Yasuo, while fighting Teemo I needed just to auto attack him one more time, which I could do but he used his Q and killed me while I was at half health and he was at 40 hp. There are many more valid examples out there and tons of people shouting for Teemo to be nerfed. Just remember this Riot, remember Teemo and what happened for future times when you make a champion or create a new patch. And for anyone coming to this post and insulting me or just saying I am bad at the game I don't want to hear it, the only things I want out of this post are either some strategies from people who know how to fight him or general feedback on this post.

If you see teemo get picked, pick a ranged caster. Don't pick a melee champion like yasuo or riven where you're gonna get bullied regardless of how good you are.

That isn't his only name. Everyone knows his other name...

Also, try not to fight him as someone who uses AA a lot. Yasuo's Q counts as AA.

item 3111 item 3139 item 3156 item 3102 Fiora MonkeyKing Ekko Quinn Irelia Yorick Akali Jax Zed Caitlyn KogMaw Ezreal Graves Kennen Urgot Many other champs + all tanks (rush item 3111 then item 3083 or item 3065 ) + All ranged mages

Rushing item 3111 or item 3155 at level 1 as an AD mêlée champ. For AP item 3001 or item 3060 .

When Teemo counterpicks my Darius Tryndamere Volibear I can normally rush item 3071 because the health is enough to survive his blind and AA then I can stick to him and finish him off before it cools down in 6.5 seconds after my blind wears off. You have to let him push lane 1st though or he can just escape under turret. Basically, if you can survive his blind, he's extremely squishy and easy to burst down.

Best method if you're having a hard time to just let him push and ping the hell out of your jungler until they gank. The only way a Teemo can really escape a tank (especially if your jungler has item 3706 ) is to burn his flash.

If you get stuck as Yasuo against Teemo again, I normally bait his blind by using sweeping blade on a minion that's about 5 - 10 units away from him, then throw out a wind wall to catch his dart before I use sweeping blade on him. A smart Teemo will also try to bait your wind wall though and will normally save his blind until you're directly on top of him.

You are literally just buying into the confirmation bias of "teemo le epic saten666"

He doesn't need fixing because he is broken, he is literally just annoying AF.

Maybe I am ignorant, but I like it when Teemo builds pseudo-adc. It cuts his burst, and makes him stay in AA range. The thing is to wait out the blind. It sucks, but it's what you got to do. Otherwise he'll just keep unloading free damage onto you. Without his blind, he's a super squishy nobody with no means to escape outside of luring you into a shroom. It's the AP you gotta watch out for, because those mushrooms/Qs hurt super bad. If you are not ADC, I'd highly recommend a banshees at some point. And for the love of god, don't gank Teemo post 6 unless you know what you are doing. People run in blindly, get shroomed, and he gets the classic "gank heimer, give him double kill"

If you are in draft and someone picks teemo, go for someone with a bit of range. Like Vayne, she deals a world of pain, as long as you are inside her zone. But outside of that, they have very little presence and have little retaliation against the likes of Varus arrows, Lux explosions, that kind of thing.
