@Riot Teemo technically still counts as a mage....

So do you have any plans for him in the so called "mage rework" since he has a few problems....

anyways personally if i would change Teemo it would be somehow changing his move quick skill its just so underwhelming and lackluster its basically a bad version of miss fortunes W at this point

He's not a mage, and he just got a small rework a few months ago. They're going to focus on immobile mages like Annie and Anivia.

ill quote you on focus anyways i mean like any minor changes to teemo and he is a mage he still casts spells,he uses AP as his main source of dmg.. teemo doesn't go tank often either so he is still a mage-marksmen sort champion he is right now just a bad mix of Corki A.K.A the magic dmg marksman and news flash he is primarily immobile only his W gives him any sort of speed boost

There are plenty of AP champions that are not mages. Most of them are AP Assassins (like Akali, Diana, Fizz), some of them are AP Tanks (Cho'gath, Ammumu). Mages is the word we use for spell casters, champions that their primary damage is through spells AND they need to use their spells frequently (as opposed to a one combo burst, which would be an assassin).

Teemo just happens to be the only AP Marksmen, meaning his damage comes from auto-attacks. You /can/ itemize Teemo for burst so that his Q will do a lot of damage (That's why his second classification is actually Assassin, because he can burst really hard). But even with a lot of AP he does not majorly rely on casting multiple spells, so he is not a mage.

Corki is closer to secondary mage, because he does rely on spamming his abilities (although he is still only classified as a marskmen).

Lots of people agree that Teemo isn't in the best spot post-rework, but considering how recent his rework is Riot probably won't tweak his kit for a long while. Instead, he'll probably get slight numbers changes. I've seen a lot of people specifically asking for changes to how long his shrooms can last.

Calls Teemo a "Mage". Majority of the time played at top instead of mid.

I'd rather leave him in the dust.

Teemo is anything but immobile.

I actually agree on that. Right now Teemo is in a very strange spot. He is both underpowered, and in the same time pretty annoying to face. So yes, i agree that he needs some gameplay update.

P.S. Miss fortune received a small rework this year, but she was still part of Marksman upgrade

What even is Teemo? Not a Mage really, not a Marksman really, not even a Fighter really. What is he?
