You know what's really sad about Teemo?

It's not his blind. It's not his shrooms either. It's the fact that whenever his name is spoken, everyone instantly compares him to Satan and Cancer.

Let's look at the facts. Teemo, by his very nature, is a lane bully. Lane bullies take advantage of the time where everyone is comparatively weak. This makes laning against a bully very frustrating, even though you may eventually outscale them. It doesn't help that Teemo is a relatively cheap champion.

Because of that fact, Teemo is usually played by people when they are low level. His adorable face and cheap price draw many new players to him. That means that many other new players encounter him in game, and then realize that they hate him. This process coins Teemo's signature nickname, Satan.

Today, because of that exact reason, it is impossible to suggest any good changes to Teemo. His identity does not allow it. Even though he's not a hard champion to beat, because everyone just plain hates him for existing, Teemo can never be viable. And that, to me, is just sad.

People dont hate Teemo, at all. His identity is just of an incredibly annoying champion that will make your life a living hell through his amazing zone control, blind and movement speed, while spamming the cutest laugh in the game.

Most of the remarks are just kidding or exagerated for the sake of comedy. He is getting buffed on the PBE and just about everyone that complained was just jumping on the ''Dont make Satan strongth!!!'' meme/fun.

It's because his whole playstyle is about never letting the opponent actually do anything.

You want to get close? Movespeed.

Hit him? Bah, blind.

Do anything at all on the map? Lolshrooms.

Face it. He is cancer.

I'll phrase it slightly differently:

His whole playstyle is about passively never letting the opponent do anything. Teemo doesn't really have to do anything himself, other than point and click and place shrooms.
