Why is Teemo under "Marksman"?

desertoflame··2 votes·2,102 views

In the league client. under champions there is a filter option for...tanks, supp, mages...etc Teemo is under "Marksman" Can he be moved to "mages" or have his own "Hell-spawn" filter I do not want to see Marksman Teemo in my games

Oh, he's a mage, not a marksman? Guess I was just thrown off by the blow dart gun that he uses for all his damage except the shrooms.

Let me add some summoner 13 , I guess what I am trying to say is that the "Marksman" role is filled with the "adc" champions. And Teemo sticks out as one who would build ap over ad. So my logic is wrong that he isn't a mage because "marksman" is not "adc". But still I think it could be looked at a bit more

You got it backwards. The ADC role is filled with the Marksman champ.

Teemo is a marksman, because he is based on ranged Auto Attacks, But simmilar to Urgot he is not well suited as an ADC.

Marksmen are those that rely mainly on Auto Attacks, which Teemo does.... therefore he is a Marksmen.

I love when I go Teemo top on Team Builder (and use the tag Marksman because why the hell not?) and people flame that I don't know how to play Teemo.

It's cause Teemo IS a marksmen, just like Corki, Tristana...

He used to be listed as a support, which was horribly wrong.

Wanted to say that "satan" is not a role yet but got shen'd by op item 3070

Teemo is a marksman, he just also works great as AP, like Tristana.

Those two have little to do with each other. So as you said, they are not exclusive.

It depends on what you call a "marksman".
