They both perform the same function: make your target unable to autoattack. But unlike Teemo's version, Irelia's straight-up stops you from trying to autoattack rather than making all autos miss.
Is this a sign that Teemo's version might be obsolete?
ViciousSummoner5 votesThey're gonna rework Teemo's Q to be more thematically correct. Teemo chops off his target's hands permanently making them unable to attack for the rest of the game.
Pokemonred2004 votesNot really, since blind causes empowered AAs like Nasus Q to be consumed after they miss, IIRC. Because Disarm stops you from being able to issue the command at all (as seen with Amumu's ult, which is a disarm and root at the same time), the empowered AA cannot be consumed and may still be used if the timer hasn't run out by the time disarm ends.
Jinzo Torrance3 votesThey know that their Blind coding doesn't work since some on-hit effect go through it and some skills like Illaoi long-range W goes through it completely dealing full damage, they don't want the new flashy champion to show that to everyone.
darkdill4 votesI think it'd make more sense, personally, if Teemo's Q were reworked to apply Nearsight, not Blind. Blind doesn't work against non-autoattack enemies like Lissandra or Ryze, but is oppressive against autoattackers like Tryndamere. Nearsight would both be more universal and would allow Teemo some interesting mindgames, like being able to throw down a shroom while his opponent can't see.
Of course, his Q would have to receive several balance tweaks for that to be fair, but it'd be better IMO than the old Blind effect.
Spoofghoul2 votesI'm all for this especially since you can nearsight your opponent and then go stealth

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM interesting idea.
Shroom KABOOM1 votesHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM interesting idea.
Except for the fact that if nasus, master yi, trynd, braum, kled, camille etc.... jump on you and stick to you, your blind is useless. Teemo is one of the best counters to trynd and yi in team fights at the moment. So No thanks, I'd rather add a Nearsight effect to existing blind, rather than replacing the current effect
Sex With Annie2 votesWell one is an ultimate ability and requires the target to walk into it
the other is on an 8 second cd and only requires one to be in range to use it
General Matty1 votesTeemo is a pretty obsolete champion in general. He really only serves a purpose to bully AA top laners. He doesn't contribute much to teamfighting other than trying to blind the adc, which could get him blown up, or throwing shrooms and HOPING they do something in a fight.
