Dear Teemo "Support" Mains

Woodakoodashooda··5 votes·779 views

No one wants you in their games. You offer nothing in the way of peel. You take kills from our ADC, starving them and making late game hell for the rest of the team. All you do is run and hide while the team dies because there's nothing you can do to stop it except end up dying yourself. There is no niche in which you belong. And I will ban your champion every time I see you hover over it.

Oppressive Supports like Teemo actually work pretty well in low elo. The enemy Support tends to think they are supposed to be passive and can't take a hit, so when you are hyper-aggressive they cower and lose lane hard and just feed you. Teemo might not be the best at it, but his Q makes most ADC's worthless for the duration and his shrooms provide protection from ganks and vision that no other Support can really provide. Sure he probably kill steals a lot, but that just means he puts out lots of damage too.

I'm Plat 5 and would still respect an enemy Teemo Support. I'm not even sure at what point it'd be so bad that you have to be a jerk and ban your ally out of it.

Another thing, I tend to get Frozen mallet, zzrot for pushing help and then full tank so I can stick to targets without dying. Adding the frost Queen's ghosts and shrooms, I have slows for days, good to help even the slowest champion on my team catch up.

Low elo Teemo Support also provides vision up the ass because he's not gated solely by the ward limit. A good Teemo Support can have active map awareness for both bot and mid post-6 in laning, and provides hard vision control for objectives in the level of play that almost actively refuses to get red trinket and pink wards.

Pretty much. Only tend to roam after we wiped out the enemy bot, but it can happen.

The only real reason that works is because everyone hates Teemo, thus, everyone targets him and not the adc.

Then the enemy bot lane deserves to lose for not keeping the right focus. That's all I got to say.

Any decent player can just shrug off Teemo and then step on him once his ADC is dead.

This is true, I have a friend who's seen numerous enemies lose bot lane after getting the adc on a killing spree just because they made poor choices.

Granted, Teemo support will always hold a special place in my heart... The part used for hating... Because I thought I was going support, wound up going top with exhaust, worked my butt off carrying through major objectives (I think I got over four towers in that game), and then the Teemo support that had ignite, cottontail, cs and kill stealing, said he "carried this noob team". Just when I think I stop hating a champion, another person like that shows up.

That's why my job is getting rid of said people. They just have to stop being mean with my main... Or with ANYONE at all since being mean doesn't help... Ever.

I met one friendly Yasuo main. So I know there's hope out there for every toxic champion. But that doesn't stop them from severely ticking me off!

JayHog19921 votes

I once met a friendly Draven who was kind to tell me who to focus in a 2v2 duel while I was Lulu. After listening to his advice, we started winning lanes more often and then the game.

Sometimes it surprises me when the community ends up wrong at some stereotypes.

Yeah, I actually feel sorry for the few sportmanlike players that main a usually toxic champion.

JayHog19921 votes

Like Boxbox when playing Riven... Or Hikashikun when playing Teemo.

Both just seem so nice...

Mine's not going to be considered toxic, just weak. Thanks to the Star Guardian Poppy skin, her ban rate shortly rose above Teemo's just because people were doing so horrible at her and nobody wanted her as a teamate. It's lowered now, but her winrate is still in the trash. I can almost taste Mastery Score 7!

JayHog19921 votes

Also have to get my own share of level 7 Poppy. Somehow. Already got her at level 6, so halfway there.

I really need to crack down on getting that score. :P

Dear Yasuo "any lane" mains,

No one wants you in their games. You offer nothing in the way of peel. You take kills from our ADC, starving them and making late game hell for the rest of the team. All you do is run and die while the team dies because there's nothing you can do to stop it except end up dying yourself. There is no niche in which you belong. And I will ban your champion every time I see you hover over it.

Whether you want us or not is irrelevant. I don't want to play with a unskilled meta whiner but yet I get you all the time in my games. Deal with it.

You ban my champ, you're gonna get something much worse. A tilted AD Ryze Support.

Good response to the situation. We should value your opinion.

Look, teemo support is a complete troll pick because he has no hard cc.
