Teemo needs a buff or a rework.

Ok hear me out I know everyone is gonna get mad due to everyone hating teemo but honestly think about it. When has a teemo ever carried a game so hard that he's the single reason why you won? Or if you have seen it how often? With characters like irelia, Yasuo, zed, kai sai and other champions its easy to picture them carrying a game or winning the game because of how bursty they are with dmg. But teemo? you practically never see it at all.

Teemo is a champion that a lot of people seem to hate because of his blinding ability and his mushrooms. But thats pretty much it. Sure he places mushrooms but they never kill anyone unless u are on 100 HP and step on top of it. Its mostly used for anti-ganking and its slowing ability. But once you buy oracle his mushrooms become completely useless. Just use it, Destroy mushrooms, repeat. And sure he does a lot of poke early game but buy any magic resistant and his dmg becomes useless.

Teemo is very situational, Has no hard cc, No team fighting potential, Very bad/no scaling, and he's the most hated champion. Also his W (his movement speed) is almost completely useless I mean they literally called his ability "move quick". And his passive guerllia warfare is not used 80% of the time and when it is someone that has a area of effect ability can just cast it and poof teemo comes out of his passive ready to die.

His Q (Blinding ability) just makes people not able to auto attack him. And thats... pretty much it. Unless you are going against a champion who relies on auto attacks its not really helpful. His best ability is his E which does toxic dmg over time which is the only reason why he even kills people in his state currently. I mean yea he is a bit annoying but to play teemo well you need to have a lot of planning, skill, finnese, and just lucky situations where u are gonna do well on him.

Conclusion. Teemo is one of the oldest champions in the game. He came in the 17 champions to ever be released and the other 16 are doing fine in the game currently because with the right item buff they fall right back into the meta and just exist meanwhile teemo on the other hand doesn't get help at all from riot. I mean he is never chosen in high Elo ever pretty much and when he is chosen he either feeds, doesn't help in team fights, or is trolling. Sure teemo is annoying but come on guys have some sympathy people only hate on him as a meme but when they play him as a champion he's just not that good. If you are going to rework him just make sure he can still place mushrooms and blind enemies but everything else needs to be changed. As a teemo main I hope to see more from him in the future. Also with his little devil teemo skin why not change his voice to be more idk satanic? I mean the skin itself is really well made but his voice is still the same which kind of bugs me and a lot of other teemo mains too. In all I hope teemo gets the right help and gets put in the right direction to be actually useful.

A REWORK YES. Fuck this little shit and all his targeted damage. When he's strong, there's no counterplay to his damage other than killing him. He has no skillshots or anything with any chance of misuse outside of his ult.

If he had more unreliable damage, they could buff up the damage as compensation so he can actually be viable without also being oppressive.

I like how he is designed. Yes, it's straightforward. Yes, it's not a champion that carries very often (but happens). But he's also the most versatile champion. He is like the blueprint of a ranged champ. You can basically play him in every position, and with a ton of items and different strategic goals. And I personally love to try out new runes and builds on Teemo every now and then.

Other opinions?

Hes annoying at best to play against and desperately needs a rework. hes too binary and a stat check. If he was ever balanced hed be op. Most of the original champs have at least been minorly reworked at some point and i truly believe its time teemo got the same.

For me as an idea what Teemo needs a rework is the entire kit except his Shrooms. that can stay and is basically core to his identity.

His poison shots (e) should be moved into his passive because lets face it. its up all the time and is just a waste of space that can be improved towards his kit.

His Q is aids incarnate because its a pain in the ass as a point and click ability. but its not the worst for the game but its a nightmare against so many champs in the top lane. If they do plan on changing it, i hope the make it similar to Quinn Q blind. Its not as painful but it gets the job done and offers some level of skill.

His W is too basic and needs a massive overall, No need for dashes but something that will help his kit overall~~(like we need the thousandth dash in the game)~~ Like something that encourages for him to earn his speed boost in fights so that he can escape or chase against his enemies.

Speaking of his E being moved into his passive. it would be nice to give it a nice skill that makes him an annoying spirit. Something that gives him extra means of making an impact in terms of team fights. hell, the poison shot can the passive for him instead of making his current passive massive texts to read and understand.

I know almost everyone hates Teemo _(Hell i call him the little shit Teemo)_and his basically a punching bag at this point. but damn does he not deserve it as badly compared to most champs cough Yasuo cough

I just hope Rito finds a way to make him better so that I can proudly use his Satan skin.

They should not totally rework Teemo, he's well designed. He's not great but this can be fixed without a VGU..

Probably a just a tweak som3 of his abilities would do, say if W(move quick), if the move quick active could be changed to a type of dash that has increased attack speed at the end, that would do it, it would also add scaling to his game. (As a "marksman", aspd is his best stat for scaling).. He would need to lose his passive attack speed for it, but that's fair-- perhaps instead of attack speed on passive he could gain bonus range on the first auto from stealth. The range increase would play well with his W as a dash; stealth, catch enemy with long range auto- then dash into range and more autoattacks. Yes, overall that's a buff. They could lower E impact damage if that's too strong.

Just little adjustments are all Teemo needs, I do not want them to VGU him. VGU's are for bad designs that need to be rethought. Teemo is good.

Buff his range? I'm just wondering if he'd become a decent botlane pick if he got like 50 extra range. might screw over alot of the toplane roster tho.
