Teemo Needs a Rework

Mérçÿ··3 votes·2,102 views

Teemo My thoughts you ask if that Teemo needs a rework I don't think that he should be able to Poison and Blind at the same time while doing EX amount of damage. I Heard multiple people complain about how cheap Teemo is and how he is unfair I think riot should do something about it yeah there are people who main Teemo but still the blinding and poison at the same time is a bit of a game breaker. This is just my opinion if you don't like it then you don't but would really appreciate it if Riot took a gander at what I have suggested. Thank you for your time of looking over this.Bard

No no, Teemo definitely does not need a rework. He's balanced, and he's extremely unique with his champion kit.

Yeah okay. Teemo is far from balanced Bard

LU Vanilla Rice 2 votes

If anything, he is slightly underpowered. But he's not overpowered mate. There is a lot of counterplay, and he has settled nicely with all the previous changes.

How is underpowered lol? When you can invisible by standing still and wiping the entire enemy with two items?Urgot

LU Vanilla Rice 2 votes

I mean, he can easily get countered. And a sweeper/pink literally counters his passive and ultimate. As well, if he were op, pros would be picking him, but he's not...

His Passive and Ult Aren't the problems he shouldn't be able to face roll someone like olaf at level 6Nautilus

You have to remember, teemo does well into people who require auto attacks and can be kited, in which case Teemo would do well into Olaf. Now I am not sure if Teemo blind works on Olaf when he ults, but Teemo has great kiting given his w movement speed. Olaf would need to land an axe to slow Teemo beforehand, but Teemo is quick enough that he should also be able to dodge that. It's not about Teemo being op, it's that he simply does well into Olaf. There are plenty of other champions who do well into Teemo, if not shit on him.

Still shouldn't let a champ poison and blind someone at the same time

LU Vanilla Rice 2 votes

Um... Cass can stun multiple people for a significantly longer time and poison the entire enemy team... I am not too sure why poisoning someone and blinding them is an issue...

You don't see the issue lol when teemo is hitting you with poison darts and getting blinded in which you miss teemo with every hit you swing at him lol tell me when that is not a issue

LU Vanilla Rice 2 votes

No, I don't see your issue with it. What's the difference between a blind and another form of cc or disable? What makes Teemo's blind so op? It's not. You can still cast spells and move freely with a blind on you, but with a root, knock up, stun, or even nearsight, you're rendered practially useless. The combo of Teemo's blind and poison is very tame compared to other forms of CC. So yes, I don't see the issue; why do you?

Mérçÿ1 votes

Yes you can cast spells and yes those are worse but your not going to be hitting anything with a melee champ when you're blind.

LU Vanilla Rice 1 votes

Yes, but it has a short duration and it only really works on aa champions. The trick is to just use spells during the duration.

Meanwhile the scuttlecrab removes like, literally the only reason people pick Teemo; global pressure while split pushing.

Teemo is balanced,you just think he is not balanced because you don't know how to counter him.

Listen,i am a Teemo main and i know everything about him. So i am going to explain to you why Teemo DOESN'T NEED A REWORK.

1.He is weak at the beggining.You can ask your Jungler to early gank Teemo so he can either kill him or to get him to low HP (so it would be easier against him in lane)

2.I know,all of us hate Teemo's Mushrooms.Here is a simple solution: buy item 3341 .

3.This is the most important part that you should know.DON'T LET HIM FARM.It is hard to stop him from farming but you can either ask a jungler to gank your lane or you can play a Ranged champion so you can poke Teemo too.

Teemo doesn't need kills.He can go 0/5 but be strong cause he has 150 farm in 20 minutes. I know that because i could get to more than 200 farm in 20 minutes and be unstoppable in my lane.

The only way to stop Teemo is to ask your teammates to help you.This is a team game,not 1v1 game. Or the best solution is to ban Teemo in Ranked.

Problem Solved.... Teemo doesn't need a rework.

Mérçÿ1 votes

But still teemo shouldn't be able to 1v1 every champ that still doesn't solve the problem of him being able to poison and blind at the same time lol

I feel like you've been taking melee champs into fighting teeto and getting your face smashed in....

But still teemo shouldn't be able to 1v1 every champ that still doesn't solve the problem of him being able to poison and blind at the same time lol

So you are saying that Teemo needs a rework because he is not allowed to 1v1? -_- I don't care what everyone is saying i have my own opinion: Teemo doesn't need a rework. I explained the best ways to counter him but you still talking about him and his abilities being a problem....

If Teemo blinds you while you are in the battle,don't engage with basic attacks use abilities. If Teemo's poison is too strong,BUY MAGIC RESIST! -_- I'll say it again: If you have Teemo on the enemy team and he put a lot of mushrooms,BUY item 3341

I don't understand people like you who cry about champions that are very annoying to play against.What about Fizz? Is he next for you to complain about?

Here i explained some basic things that you should do when you have Teemo as an enemy.

P.S: If you really don't like Teemo,simple solution: BAN HIM IN CHAMPION SELECT![zombie-brand-mindblown]

So your saying that when i play and get poisoned and blinded i shouldn't engage lol? So just stand an let him kill that still doesn't change the fact that he blinds and poisons on the same move. Magic resist doesn't help with blinding the target and when the poison lasts as long as Morgana's stun. How is that easy to counter and i don't care that he can go invisible and the mushrooms

LU Vanilla Rice 1 votes

Okay, so you don't care about the shrooms or invisible, that's fine. Let's address the blind poison abilities that you believe are op.

Teemo's blind duration is 1.5-2.5s depending on level. Now that can be very deadly, but what BoeBu is trying to say is that you use abilities when blinded. You don't have to forego engaging altogether, simply know that your auto attacks won't do anything, and using abilities is the correct way around it. This ability is needed for Teemo to survive, but there is very easy counterplay available.

As for the poison, the poison may last a long time, but that should tell you something. In an extended fight, Teemo will outdamage many other people given the fact his poison lasts a while, and he can continuously reapply it. Short skirmishes with magic resistance should be the proper way to play against it. If you're looking for an absolute counter, a spectre's cowl significantly increases regen when taking damage, and since Teemo's poison doesn't do a lot of damage at once, but rather over time, then it continuously activates cowl's passive.

I hope you understand Teemo doesn't need a rework as he is fine just the way he is.

Buy item 3111 it lowers the duration of Teemo's Q and gives you magic resist.

I don't know what else to say,i told you the best ways to defeat teemo.

Don't let him farm,always take ranged champs against him because if you take melee.... well your done .

Take the best champions that counters him.

The best champion that counters Teemo for me is Yorick. His abilities are so annoying i couldn't even farm in my lane.If you want to win against Teemo,Yorick is your best shot.

Well, except for the fact that Teemos normal build includes about 65% magic pen. With runes that goes up to 70%+. And if everyone buys a item 3364 then there would be no wards on the map and you would lose that way. You are saying that to stop Teemo you sacrifice vision, which is stupid.

Teemo is by far the champion I hate most in league, whether they are on my team or the other, and you can't really ban him in champion select because not everyone plays him so it'd be a waste of a ban.

And what do you think of the ADC role? Just because a Teemo has 150 cs doesn't mean that a single shroom should be able to bring a teams main damage dealer down to half health just because they were walking through the jungle, especially when you are no where near them.

Teemo is what I would classify as anti-fun. And yet the champion that riot has pegged as anti-fun is Yorick , like WTF? In comparison to Teemo, Yorick ten times more balanced and has a lot more ways around his kit. Hell his ult doesn't even stop his death, its like a glorified Sion passive. But you know why no one bans Yorick? Because only a handful of people and I play him. But look at that, Yorick rework is the next thing riot is working on. So why hasn't teemo gotten a rework? Everyone finds him anti-fun to play against.

And btw, fizz is getting a minor rework, Riot knows Fizz is busted right now and they are trying to fix it. So why haven't they touched teemo?

I love to play Teemo,i love to annoy the enemy team with shrooms.The reason Riot hasn't touched Teemo is because he can be defeated easily.

Maybe he has Q,E and R,but he doesn't have escape except his W.This is a team game.Ask for your jungler to gank Teemo.

P.S: Don't get angry at Riot because Teemo is in enemy team.Blame yourself for not banning him.If you really think Teemo is not worth banning,then it is your fault if you lose.Period.

The answer to a champ should not be "gank him."

That's not a counter. That's a counter to EVERY CHAMP IN THE GAME.

Nah, not really. He could use some changes along something like what maybe Annie or Fiddlesticks got in the Mage Update, but his kit is pretty solid and easily claims it's own identity in the cast of characters. He isn't broken by design nor is he OP. He isn't even super UP really after some recent buffs. He just takes some getting use to and requires good vision control to see where the enemy commonly travels and how they move. To be completely honest with ya, Teemo is probably the best champion in the game when it comes to pure strategy and planning on a large scale rather than fight by fight basis.

If TSM actually knew how to play him in that LCS game and built AP instead of on-hit I bet you riot would have nerfed him immediately. The only reason he seemed weak was because the top laner (Bjergsen?) didn't main him.

Fuck Teemo. I want them to delete Ekko. Saw some shit today that wasn't right. Ekko took me from 85% HP to grey screen with a single ability in less than a second. I think it was that teleport blink ability. No assassin, not Fizz, not Akali, not even Leblanc can do that. Every assassin except Ekko needs their full rotation to kill a target. Nah fuck that. Teemo can wait. This bullshit damage on Ekko has to be dealt with first.

We all know teemo is an annoying fk but he is no where near broken. The counter to teemo as a meele champ is to find a way to burst him down. Teemo lacks burst without his items and thus why he excels in kiting. Teemo is somewhat a lane bully but not the best one , looks at jayce, nor is he great at team fights or even scouting (which is his true purpose). His performance has been dropping after the rework, plus no professional players uses him anymore because of his low team fight potential. He was meant to be used as an scout but because of oracles and losing map vision (5mins) he has somewhat lost that too. The new oracle system has completely made him under powdered if anything. You can be a teemo and annoy the fk out of your opponent but you can't carry your team if your fed or ahead in farm unlike many other champs.
