Let's cass off Teemo.
Today, going to work, my mind went back to two of my yesterday's matches and I realised something. Both these games were against Teemo. Both were AP and had not a such small impact on the result of the game.
Now, what Cass has to do with this? Let me explain. Exuses for Cass rework are that her Q was toxic and lane bulying spell and other things. but lets focus on that. Her Q meant that when landed you would recieve huge chunck of damage without being able to do anything about it..
But are not Teemos shrooms the same, additionally you cannot dodge the shrooms. This season (and even previous one) you have little of tools to get rid of them. You have pink wards and sweeping lens. (does raptor smite buff work on them?) Both of these tools require to know where the shrooms are beforehand to be able to destroy them.
Additionaly pink requires item slot, you can place only one per person and when you destroy shroom enemy team can just show up and destroy it.
Sweeping lens is better tool, but still it is not enough. There is always that one shroom on the edge of creek. and one shroom is all it takes to reduce your ADC to half health. And if teemo is hinding there, you just lost your ADC. Tell me where is counterplay in that.
Last season thare was this NA LCS game (at least think it was LCS) where Teemo was picked. And this Teemo forced enemy team to keep out of jungle, sticking only to mid lane. Simply because they were unable to do anything with it. Is that really ok?
Lastly I'd like to state that I am not raging because I got my ass kicked by Teemo. (1 game lost 1 game won). It just got me thinking wheter or not it is OK to stumble upon one or two shrooms that will take most of your HP. Doing so much damage all over the map without even being there just seem not fair.
