RIOT do something: If Teemo could throw his mushrooms he would kill everyone

You want to see four people's head explode? Pick Teemo bot and say, "So who is my support?"

I would love a Teemo rework. But just to change his ult. I still like the idea of a little guy lurking around in wait. When I was new to league i would fear Teemo cause he was scary to be somewhere and you not know it. Or you would make it out of fight with a sliver of health and be afraid to move. Now I look at him and say, "poor little Teemo. No one wants to play with or against you." Whatever you can do, there is someone else that does it better. There is no place for you in the meta.

I just played against a Teemo jungler in a normal game. The saddest thing you ever saw. What is a cute little guy to do? Maybe if he stayed stealthed until he moved 800-1000 units? Give him something take something else.

How is he an assassin among the ranks of Kat, Kha, and Lee. He's not an adc or a good jungler. With DFG gone he has no burst compared to any of the other mages. People say he is good top. Please. Does any champ released in the last 2 1/2 years shit his pants when he sees a Teemo top? Did they ever?

Please don't counter my arguments with anecdotal "diamond+ level" player examples. Riot uses Pro player execution to balance the characters but a champs potential should be reflected in the common player as well. I just want to get the little guy some help. Admitting he has a problem is the first step to recovery.

I'll say this in every Teemo re-work thread...

Give Teemo shrooms the Heimer treatment, where they are armed and will explode when he is near, but will only provide vision and not explode when he is not near. Shrooms also age faster when he is not near. Now his shroooms can be buffed and decent in a fight, but not so annoying outside of one. Opens him up to having the rest of his kit examined as well.

I still have to laugh at how Riot nerfed Move Quick because it made Teemo hard to catch. This was way way back in season 2, when mobility was rare. I guess it's ok now, but Teemo gets no love anyway.

Now that there is a crab in river I wish shrooms wouldn't blow on minions but I know it helps him on wave clearing. I feel bad for him cause he is helpless around anyone that nukes with abilities. Across the board, why don't blinded champs have their skill shots shoot off in random directions. Or maybe on skill shots hit and the auto lock abilities fire wrong. You are blinded. Why are only your aa effected.

Increase his ult range and have him toss a mushroom to the target. It would work exactly the same as now, it just has some range.

That is what I thought. Range would make him better. Even if a tossed aoe shroom did not slow I would like it.

Leave. Teemo. Alone.

I do not want teemo with stacks or skillshots.

STACKS?!?! Never utter such evil.

Teemo is not a marksman. He is not a mage. He is not an assassin.

He is Teemo, the legendary evil.

Don't touch him.

His kit is fine, he just needs a buff to his on hit e, to compensate for his huge shroom nerf. (Tossing shrooms is a cool idea, he could add more to team fights, which everyone complains he is lacking in.) Increasing his aa range would also help him in team fights, he is so squishy, a bit more distance would help.

Indeed.

Teemo, as he is, a trap setter, ambush champ, and also a champ that makes controlling the river objectives easier on the ally team, and general nuisance for other team after level 6.

He is fine. Yes, he wouldn't help much during a team fight but he is mainly there to be an anti-adc with his blind and as anti siege or disengage with his shrooms when the fight turns ugly.

I agree with everything you say, but play styles shift away from some champs so hard that a team can not organically bond around one persons abilities. A team should harmonize around strengths of a champ not win in spite of him being picked. I play Teemo I am aware of prejudice people have towards him. Regardless of what happens it will be Teemo's fault. You want to attack a fed mage and Teemo comes with you... you both die duh. Why? Cause he isn't meant to take down mages. I know this, and you know this.
