Teemo deserves nerfs, but not for why you think...
Teemo is a champ that is hated by the entire community for various reasons. His obnoxious laugh, the INABILITY to fight him as any form of AD champion, The obnoxious laugh, the stupid amount of map dominance he brings to any team, the obnoxious laugh, and how teemo can fit into almost every team comp. Mobility comps, AoE comps, assassin comps, protect the X comps(as both a peeler and primary source of damage), ect. I don't really hate him too much for those, he is how he is(but fk that laugh though)
My problem with him is that he is almost exactly like another champion that got nerfed, Nidalee, but he wasn't on the nerf board(Please, 0.2 minus AP ratio on shrooms is not a nerf. Teemo laughs at your "nerf" and still builds full ap.)
Now we all have fond memories of playing against nidalee, where she throws 900 million spears, misses all but one, and you go from 100% to 1% life while she is in no real danger. Teemo is the EXACT same way unless your entire team builds specifically to counter this. And even then, it's fairly rediculous. (again, just like nidalee). He can lay an infinite ammount of shrooms(three at a time, no max limit) and these shrooms do considerable damage alone. But they're never just built alone. Most, if not, all teemo's build to max the damage on shrooms, getting liandrys, morellos, ect. Items that boost the effectinveness of the shrooms DRAMATICALLY. All the while, Teemo is invisible somewhere. Not in danger. AT ALL. Nidalle was the same way, massive damage with no danger. She got nerfed...well "nerfed" and we are all the happier for it. However teemo still hits like a truck and is almost never in the direct line of fire.
Don't get me wrong, i love teemo. I love his kit, his slipperiness, I love the IDEA behind teemo. But execution fucked up somewhere and now we literally have devil incarnate roaming the rift. Laying mines of anger, hatred and salt. And waiting. Cause one misstep, one absent minded click, ONE STEP into the jungle...and...
Penta-Kill!
I feel like something needs to be done about teemo. Maybe turn the shrooms into something like mundo's cleavers, with no scaling, but a garen-teed(puns of damage) minimum damage and damage on skill level up. Even something as simple as a cooldown between placing shrooms, longer foraging for shrooms time, ect. would work. Or nerf the base damage. Or make them visible within a certin radius, but stealth otherwise, so tunnel vision is punished but we are allowed some kind of counterplay against him without needing trinkets.
I don't know what goes on during development, i don't see what the dev's see. I can't know statistics on pick rate vs win rate, so it's not my place to DEMAND nerfs. However, as a league of legends player for a few years, and though asking people about how they feel on teemo and taking the not "TEEMO IS THE DEVIL" answers, and compiling them, The concensus is "Yeah, he's fun to play, but if you are on the reciving end, he is just like nid" Which is what prompted me to take this thread.
I am simply asking, as a absolute lover of this game, you, the devs, the playerbase, and every single thing you guys have done.


that reveals stealth units and traps then teemo would be fixed then. Or if riot brought oracles back.
there was another post that was saying something about adding something to the ruby sight stone and possibly adding a further upgrade maybe this could be a passive on it.
line have the trap detector. I just really dislike the lack of counter play for the amount of damage the shrooms do. The only counter play are 125 gold
(which you only get one of per person) or
which is on a somewhat substantial cooldowns, which you would need 5 of to deal with all 40+ shrooms that teemo can have.
Is probably my most hated champion, because unless you are a tank with a full build, ap Fizz can literally 100-0 you, while being invulnerable and then cleanly escape (all while applying Grievous wounds, RIP heals). (Although I acknowledge that Fizz is slightly redeemed by his skillcap and squishyness if he builds full ap.) Fizz is just my pet peeve I guess.
