Was reading about the new Teemo in the PBE notes and it was all good up until I read to the very end. Trap duration lowered to 5 minutes from 10 minutes. If you're not going to lower the cost for the shrooms it does not justify the 50% duration nerf. Anyways, whoever thought of the duration nerf should be shot.
Should have just left Teemo the way it was.
Teemo will continue to be trash.
Lyane3 votesYou guys are forgetting about his Shroom Duration, it's been nerf by 50%. THis is fucking stupid.
SuchLikeWhale1 votesI actually agree, because of scuttler his shrooms can't control baron or dragon nearly as well as they used to, and shrooms slow for less and take 50 percent longer to take effect. At least leave the duration alone Riot! :(
Deep Terror Nami1 votesChampions that are rarely played and have a reputation of being toxic are a pretty good candidate for a rework imo. His rework is looking pretty scary so far.

Deep Terror Nami1 votesThen give me a name to call it and I'll call it that.
1011001110001 votesThey're literally just balance changes. A rework would be changing the functionality of his abilities, which neither of these changes to his Traps or Camouflage are really anything but number and balance changes, and the addition of a random bounce mechanic to his mushrooms.

"Change the functionality"
"This skill is now faster in brush and does not cancel itself upon movement commands in brush" "This skill is now a longer ranged thrown object that can also bounce for extra range instead of a placed object"
The functionality was changed. I'd call this a small scale rework.

Scary? Shrooms from 10min to 5min is scary? lol
Deep Terror Nami1 votesNo, the bush invisibility buff and ranged mushroom placement...
Pupel1 votesIts not a rework but its not just balance changes a rework to me is creating or defining a champions identity into something it wasent before. Teemo is still Teemo. What they have done is kinda like what they did with Singed in giving him a little more interaction with his abilities. i would call it a tune up
DrMarshSwamp1 votesI'd be fine with his shrooms being 10 minutes so long as he can only have a set number out.
While this nerf was harsh I still think its better than when he was able to just litter the entire top lane and jungles with Shrooms for almost the whole game, with the only way to counter that being pink wards (which you can only have one of and can be destroyed by Teemo) or Sweeping Lens (which covers a limited area, has a limited duration, and has a much longer cooldown than Teemo's Shrooms.)
Snuffyx1 votesYup, this is a bad Teemo nerf. Sigh, people down vote when they disagree instead of looking at the quality of the comment.
