Why is Tankmo still a thing?

Why doesn't Teemo take the Ekko treatment? Currently, it seems that the most successful build is Frozen Mallet into Runaan's, without building any AP at all. This is extremely obnoxious because he is a ranged champion, and he doesn't need to build too much AP because his utility on his Q and mushrooms, paired with the perma-slow he offers, more than enough makes up for it.

Please just gut Tankmo, it is extremely obnoxious to play against.

the reason why he is not getting the ekko treatment is because he doesn't do anywhere near the amount of things that ekko can do. Ekko builds tank and then proceeds to literally eat your face in with the amount of utility his kit provides while still doing decent damage and if things go wrong for him he just ults, dashes and slows you down for ages while he kites you back until he can escape. Teemo's kit has little to no utility and no way to actually get away from you if you manage to get near him. If teemo isn't building AP then his damage is laughable to the point that you can almost completely ignore him. If a teemo is building tank and is still beating you then there is something terribly wrong in the way you are using your champion or the way you are building

That would largely be because Teemo is less of an issue since he lacks mobility, hard CC or percentage-health damage.

I'm not even sure what Teemo is supposed to be anymore. Like his strengths and weaknesses.

because tankmo isnt actually tankmo, its an off tank ranged tank buster, basically a shittier version of kayle who dies easier.

Pretty much any anti-teemo thread gets insta downvoted.

But the truth of the matter is that teemo is doing the same thing that ekkos been doing yet no repercussions.

Im not being biased im being truthful.

Cuz Ekko turns you inside out while Teemo just annoys you with DoT.

Because Teemo doesn't have any crowd control so building Tank is basically a pretty neutral trade off for damage for him. Now, if Teemo's mushrooms stunned people it hit in an AoE, then we might have to look out for Tankmo. (dont get any ideas Rito)
