Teemo is going to get indirectly heavily nerfed.

So everybody is talking about all the reworks and new items coming in league, but everybody forget about the poor little teeto who is going to struggle a lot following preseason.

Yes, I do know that everybody hates this little satanic re-incarnation of pure demon, but let's not put a blind eye to what he is going to become. (LeeSin approves)

So, as we all know an item called Control ward is going to replace our beloved Vision Ward. It can be stacked upto 3 (only 1 active at time), and costs only 50g.

Now the problem is, this item reveals AND disables all the traps in the area. While teemo's blind is extremely annoying, his major prowess and damage comes from the shrooms he need to place and lure the enemies into. Teemo is the champ which enjoys the greatest advantage when it comes to territory defense, making enemy carefully watch every step they take to compensate with his squishy-ness, and lack of escape (except his W if you can even call it an escape).

However, 50g will be everything needed to counter it all. His laning phase will become a joke.

I do hope that RITO doesn't forget how these new items (even other than control ward) will break (in both positive and negative way) some champs. Looks at Duskblade and then at Vayne

In reality he is getting buffed with the new mastery.

Well I mean, team-fighting against Teemo is going to be easier considering that he likes to throw shrooms into the mix of things. The enemy can just throw down a control ward to disable the shrooms you throw during the fight. But honestly, during laning phase its not really going to do anything that a item 2043 ward doesn't already do to get rid of them.
