Patch 6.9 notes

> Alright. We know people are going to come into this section thinking ‘Why buff Teemo?’, but let’s be honest with ourselves. While Teemo’s always been a serviceable laner, the Swift Scout has been on the weaker side of the spectrum for a long while. The root causes are many, but we’re targeting two: Teemo’s awkward mana usage, and his inability to set up the mushroom fields he’s known for.

Thanks for making Teemo's mana costs and scaling a little better!

But as a Teemo main I must know, will he get a rework soon? "..the Swift Scout has been on the weaker side of the spectrum for a long while. The root causes are many.." Based on the wording in the patch and the little that was done to him, it looks like you are preparing him for a rework and patching him a little to hold people over till it's finished. If he is, I'd love to see his lore become more apparent in his kit; he's got very little poison damage even though it's supposed to be his main thing.

Thanks again for the bit of love to those of us that still play him! [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

I'm against a complete rework I think just tuning the ability's he has will be enough. The Mana Cost buff on his Shrooms and blinding shot were a god send. I know that it was barely a change but it helped Teemo so much by changing such a little thing.

I was super glad about it

Hopefuly they'll rework into making him a more serious captain and remove that whole mental thing that's pretty normal for a soldier.

I like him being a psychopath, tho.

Also not all soldiers have mental problems, which I think you mean ptsd, which is from being put in awful situations. With his current lore, Teemo was always crazy. His Omega Squad skin goes more in depth with that, but it's not ptsd.

I get what you mean though.

Well, you're not a soldier if you let deaths of people trying to kill you affect you. They follow orders, that's all.

But yeah, was hoping that his lore would just be of him showing more care towards his people, explaining why he doesn't let himself get affected by his kills. Because he would be doing it for the best of Bandle.
