Does anyone even use Teemo's bounce mechanic?

Not a mechanic that can be effectively used as much as one should. I agree it has almost 0 value

the problem is that using it basically gives away one of your shroom locations, so using it pretty much guarantees they will avoid the mushroom you bounced off of even if it isnt revealed.

there are time when its good, but mostly no

Yes.

teemo has been shit since shroom duration nerf

i miss having 40 shrooms on the map

People play teemo?

i've seen a teemo use it exactly 1 (one) time. that was also the only time i've seen a teemo since the rework.

I've used it to try and harass the enemy team while they do Baron. Lets me get them in without getting too close. But Teemo is unplayable right now since his shrooms don't proc spell effects right now anyway.

Teemo's mushrooms have a bounce mechanic? Since when?

accidentally i never use it on purpose

I sometimes do when defending a tower. It's pretty safe standing behind the tower and bouncing one into the enemy siege. Same concept when a full team vs team is about to occur: there is that front line that no one crosses just before initiation that you can bounce a shroom for poke (though that bounce is usually destroyed before it arms). Dragon or baron from behind the wall. How often does that happen? Maybe once a game, because the distance of a level 3 throw is usually long enough, and the short distance of a level 1 or 2 will get you killed.

i do occasionally use it, gives the ability to throw shrooms over walls early giving a chance to cut off running opponents and even able to safely shroom Baron and Dragon as well as most of the jungle buffs. It is not an offensive ability but a utility and defensive ability giving control and the ability to truly make your shrooms everywhere. :) learn its limits and you will a much better sneaky little yordle.

Pretty good in ARAM, you can sit in one bush stealthed and far back and bounce a shroom into the other.

Probably good for checking bushes from even farther way in SR, but I haven't played much Teemo since the rework (like 2 games).

I forgot they did that.

I do. But his shroom CD is too long to really take advantage of it.

i use it all the time you can launch shrooms pretty far when its maxed
