SirΤeemο··29 votes·2,617 views
  1. it's fun
  2. it's even more fun when people are tilted by shrooms
  3. it's fun when a low health enemy walks in a shroom and tilts in chat
  4. it's funny when you ks with a shroom you placed 4 minutes ago and u totally forgot about it.
  5. it's healthy against yasuo,jayce,riven
  6. it's fun when people rage and rage quit.

you are welcomed to dislike the post, but you know it's true.

I can play like one game with him and enjoy it immensely, but I wouldn't be able to constantly playing. I'd get bored

That's my main issue with maining anything. I get bored. I always come back to the same champions (including Teemo of course) but having a single champion to play? boooooring.

Teemo does have mini games of his own though which make him very entertaining.

My point for maining Teemo...?

Well...

I used to play Lux.

Those were the good old times, when even against assassins you could more or less play safe and shine later. The glorious moment when you sniped someone who had escaped the teamfight with low hp.... Hehehe... It was before people started spamming Yasuo. It tilted me. Seeing 3 of my abilities absolutely negated by his wall tilted me beyond what i could imagine. So i quit playing Lux and shifted to Teemo. We made a deal. I would main him and he would grant me with the power of making Yasuos rage until they afk'd.

It's not a good life. People call you a noob. Nobody in your team wants a Teemo because they think he will feed. You lack a tank for teamfights.

But I don't care. I think it's a fair price to pay for cleaning this game. My crusade is against Yasuos, and it shall not end it until my thirst for revenge is satisfied and the last one of them is exterminated from the Rift.

Good luck in your noble task. I'll pray for you. May your ennemies drown in their own tears.

I don't mind people playing Teemo if they know what they are doing...besides generally it takes pressure off the other people because everyone just wants to focus and kill Teemo XD

Exactly this, ive had 3 people come top or mid to kill me while 4 of my teammates are pushing for turrets xD

That's the only answer you need.

I can certainly appreciate this. Late game teemo shrooms are absolute landmines and against a good teemo it seems like theres one in every brush.

I've just ended up w/ a lot of bad teemos on my teams (comes w/ the bronze territory i guess), and teemos that were game changers on the enemy team. Thats why I'll sometimes ban him if i see my team hovering mostly champs that don't tend to build tanky (MR), because i know a good teemo will have shrooms everywhere and a couple shrooms can swing a whole teamfight.

I think my least favorite game vs a teemster was a few months back, enemy teemo vs yas toplane (im jax jg).

Yas says in /all "gg teemo ez toplane" and then proceeds to go 1-6 solo against teemo, going in a couple times a bit before i would've been there to help.

Teemo is lvl 8 while yas is 6 takes FB turret in top then proceeds to roam and turn the game into a damn Minesweeper mini-game for our team the rest of the game Edit-While jumping lane to lane and slaughtering my team w/ poison darts and that little yordle laugh.

Good god it was brutal, i couldn't even walk thru my own jungle without stepping on at least 1 shroom and getting chunked for ~25% of my hp, rarely have I wanted to just afk as much as in that game.

CannabisOverlord2 votes

That is what a good teemo is like on your team, even if i dont get fed, i always shroom up the enemy jg and bushes

Spice POWAH2 votes

That's also what a bad yasuo is like. I've seen Yas somehow manage to lose to frickinAurelionSol when it seems like it should be the easiest matchup possible.

Literally all this OP said lol

I too enjoy playing teemo, what bothers me, is when people ban him when im hovering, or i get junglers that say "I never gank for teemos"

SirΤeemο3 votes

teemo is easy to kill , but only once he uses his Q . if he still had it , it's a waste of time to gank him with champions like graves or hecarim . at least early game.

CannabisOverlord1 votes

Im saying, receiving ganks

Early-mid game Teemo Q gets incredibly annoying because of it's 6 second cooldown and 2.5 second duration, not to mention Teemo will do a lot of damage in those 2.5 seconds.

One of the tips against Teemo is keep your distance until you're ready to go in, but in reality, you gotta either bait out the Q, then go in, kill him in 3.5 seconds (else you die), or have enough damage to kill him with abilities.

teemo is an easy to be killed against mages and burst champions.

Yeah, but I don't play mages top D:

And the burst champions that go top also usually rely on autos for a big portion of their damage. While they can usually tank the 2.5 seconds blind and then do their damage, it really, really, hurts.

Since im guessing you play teemo a lot tell me, what do you build on him?

CannabisOverlord3 votes

Nashors, liandrys, boots, deathcap, bork, rageblade

Nashors, liandrys, boots, deathcap, bork, rageblade

I should try rageblade, sounds really strong since it got reworked. I never took the time to try it as I hated the previous iteration. I usually rush sorc boots and haunting guise, get nashor, finish liandry's, get a lichbane, deathcap and either get a luden's or void staff depending on enemy MR.

I find Lichbane to be invaluable, giving both burst and sieging power. More move speed too ;)

meh.. that's lame build for bronze games ... the big dick build is item 3146 item 3115 item 3151 item 3089 item 3020 item 3135 1 shot build + 900-1200 dmg from shroom

CannabisOverlord1 votes

I shall try the big dick build xD, especially since in normals its mostly bronze and silver you come across

SirΤeemο1 votes

feel the power my friend.

Sozan51 votes

Hah, that's lame build for silver games - the bigger dick build is: item 3146 item 3089 item 3100 item 3135 item 3115

In that order.

SirΤeemο1 votes

the real big dick build is this . item 3146 item 3020 item 3115 item 3089 item 3135 item 3151 this item 3100 ... not important , at all

SirΤeemο1 votes

gunblade for heal + extra active shoes for penetration nashors for attack speed = faster heal death cap more power void+liadris more penetration = more power on shrooms/Q

Sozan51 votes

Lich bane is absolutely essential.

With this build, you can kill literally anything in 0,5s.

Also, Liandry on Q is meh. You build Liandry if you focus solely on shrooms.

SirΤeemο1 votes

liadris provide extra magic pen. that will make your Q powerful , i tried both builds many times, and my conclutions is that my build is stronger in damage . because as teemo , you will have to do burst damage 1 shot people or you might died, because of "squishyness " idk if that is a real word ;p

Sozan51 votes

Yes, and Lich Bane increases your burst significantly more than Liandrys. In order to outdamage 600 AP Lich Bane proc with Q Liandry proc you'd need a target with 6,3k health (and arguably, even then it wouldn't outdamage Lich Bane, because the Liandry proc decreases in power with each tick of damage, but I didn't feel like taking that into account). That said, shroom Liandry will outdamage Lichbane against targets that have decent health.

Of course, it's important to note that when you actually do a burst damage, then Liandry is even weaker (If you AA-Q-AA for 60-70% of enemy health then Liandry proc is only burning those 30% remaining - no matter when you hit the blinding dart).

The biggest pro of Liandry in burst-damage playstyle is the 15 Mpen - it can potentially increase your magic damage output by 15% (rare case though, usually even against squishies it will be around 10% - but in some other cases, it can actually be significantly lower (even as little as 0% - if the enemy simply has less MR than you have pen already).

And believe me when I say I tried a lot of Teemo builds (over 1 million mastery).

SirΤeemο1 votes

well.. if you wanna buy lich bane , it highly depends on what enemies you have , if there are 3 tanky enemies you have to take liadris , if there are 3-4 squishy ones like ashe you can buy lich bane because it doesn't matter they are 1 shot

Sozan51 votes

Well, of course itemization depends on what you are facing. But in general I highly prefer LB over Liandry.

It's really funny when I'm dead but get a double kill (aram) while dead, cus hehe shrooms. Funnier if enemy rages in chat, too. Still funny when it keeps happening in the same game.

I used to play Teemo alot I think in s5 when the mastery levels just came out and my favorite thing about him was that he felt like the only champion that could take control of a whole area without him being there.

Any good Jayce player can wreck a teemo.

SirΤeemο1 votes

any good players with any champion can wreck teemo anyway.. specially jayce because of his broken combo dmg

when the evil overlord inside all of us intensifies.

thats when you play teemo.

Arcus Diabolus1 votes

I just kinda wish he couldn't quickly disappear once he jumps in a bush. If he can have that, then at least give us a way to kill him before that, or I'll be forced to start bringing AOE mages top just so I don't have to target him with anything.
