Some suggestions for balancing Teemo.

At the moment, I think that Teemo is more fun to play as than to play against. This is not how any Champion should be in League of Legends. As such, here are a few suggestions to help alleviate some of the animosity that that League community has towards Teemo.

First, change Teemo's Q to a skill shot. This skill was originally put on his kit to help him win 1 v 1s despite his squishy nature. However, as a targeted ability, I feel that it is all too often used to mess with the opponent's CSing instead. Making this ability a skill shot, I feel, would make it harder for Teemo to mess with the opponent's CSing while still retaining its 1 v 1 outplay potential.

Second, lower the on-hit magic damage on Teemo's E from 10/20/30/40/50 + (30% AP) to 10/15/20/25/30 + (30% AP). Teemo already does enough damage between E's poison damage and the damage from Q.

Finally, remove the poison damage from Teemo's Ult. It's already a good ability that gives Teemo extra vision and kiting potential. It doesn't need to deal damage as well. "But what about Teemo's waveclear?", you may be saying. Well, to that I say, "Just get a Runaan's Hurricane like every other marksman with waveclear issues."

So, there's my suggestion for balancing Teemo while still staying true to his character as "The Swift Scout". Feel free to leave constructive criticism in the comments below and have a wonderful day!

i think Teemo should be the only champion unfun to play against.

i mean, pissing off people is pretty much his identity and core strength.

IE, nerf him until he is useless?

There are way bigger issues involving annoying kits, and there is a huge difference between fun lanes and balance.

This is not how any Champion should be in League of Legends.

Every champion that isn't a troll pick is more fun to play as than against. Are you saying we should rework the entire roster?

Why are you trying to gut Teemo when he's barely viable as it is?
