Teemo buffs!

CallMeDesdinova··1 votes·836 views

Teemo deals less damage and is squishier than the melee champions he is supposed to bully. Teemo's matchups vs all of these champions are imbalanced. There are dynamics that favor both the melee top laner Teemo would lane against, and Teemo himself. Unfortunately, Teemo is genuinely unplayable right now because his squishiness, dubious damage potential and vulnerability to ganks, Especially with 4 or 5 enemies while turret diving alone far outweigh the pros to attempting to play teemo. Teemo now, can only succeed by VASTLY outplaying and out-finessing comparatively poor opponents. Teemo's identity revolves around winning lane, and becoming a lame split pusher later into the game. Now, Even when played well, teemo should lose every matchup. Teemo's lane phase should be buffed with 30 additional base movement speed, and 15 base attack damage. A 1 ratio on his E, and Q should apply on hit effects. :) With these changes, Teemo should have a good chance of winning 1v1s at equal skill, but would still be easily punished and exploited by even remotely meh ganks. As Teemo is now, the only way to leverage teemo's strength and win lane is to be more than 10x as skilled as the enemy laner.

i can't tell if this guy is trolling or not, teemo is a counter pick and should stay a counter pick, if he is genuinly good vs all toplane melees he is way to oppresive

Teemo is not oppressive. He is empowering for both teams. He is only oppressive when left to his own devices, and even now, There is TONS Of outplay potential. In favor of the non teemo player. Teemo should be strong in 1v1 situations, and deserves massive buffs so that he can command jungle attention rather than just be graced with it if enemy jg wants freelo

im not saying he is oppresive rn, im saying if he was buffed he would be too oppresive, he would have very little counters topane. as of RN he is fine as just a counter pick into some matchups.

riot doesn't like champs to be part of some "rock paper scissors" game in champion select.

both of you are right. he is more counterpicky but also he can stand alone with his shroom map control and deleting ADCs

teemo cannot be buffed significantly without a rework.

Teemo needs to be buffed significantly to be at least "Okay" without any rework. Teemo is full of very GOOD game design, In his Kit already. Teemo is fun and exciting for both teams. Playing around his stealth, His Mushrooms and his immobility, blind. Teemo is the heart of league, The sun of the solar system that is summoner's rift. Reworking him would be tragic.

what part of teemo is "good game design"???

why do you think teemo is the only champ who still makes you "miss" targets?

His poison gives him hidden power

His shrooms give vision which you can't calculate the worth of and help to suffocate the game

Even his passive rewards toxic and counterintuitive gameplay

He's the only champ in the game who can be rewarded for doing something restricted only by the damn leaverbuster

stealth itself is very difficult to balance again increasing the toxicity of the champ with information advantage

There's nothing "good design" about teemo.

I'm in bronze and always buy an Oracle when against a Teemo... Not an issue.

high elo it's different. Ward clearing high elo is crazy. Teemo is useless against good teams. Also, grats, people very very very rarely buy sweeper when i play teemo. you are an exception.

Teemo isn't as rewarding as he should be. I played a game with 307 cs the enemy top laner's 13 cs Rammus, He was still able to approach the minions and cs here and there. I think Teemo needs to be more punishing
