There needs to be an MR starting item.

So, Teemo is a piece of garbage and annoys everyone he goes against. What would make his early game weaker and less annoying (still will be annoying because he is Teemo)? A starter item that gives MR. There already is a cloth armor for those bruisers in lane, so what happens when you go against an AP champion? There doesn't have to be a new item. Just lower the cost of like negatrom cloak or something to fit in the price range of 475 gold and leave room for like a potion or two. Without this, it gives AP champions an edge early game and helps Teemo, and Rito, do you really want to help that Yordle nightmare?

The issue with an early starting MR item is the fact most APs need levels to scale, which is the vast majority of them since their spell/cooldown/resource dependent. Any starting MR item would further weaken an already exploitable stage for APs. There obviously are exceptions to this like Teemo, Cass, Swain, etc but it's probably not a good idea to make such an item.

In the case of Teemo, I would start Doran shield against him if I'm playing a champion with innate sustain, flask if not. D shield works on his Q and the majority of his poke is still auto attack based, mitigating dot damage is pretty difficult even with MR so generally the hp from d-shield helps. If you feel you're that vulnerable to early death and can't play around it, run flat MR blues which should push you're starting MR into the mid 40s on most melees (personally I will run scaling MR vs everything since it outscales flat MR by level 6/7).

I agree. We need an early game MR item.
