I can imagine someone at Riot finding out about this and fist-pumping in celebration after having indirectly nerfed Teemo.

I like teemo, and the game is better with him. He brings a new level of strategy to the game, and the ONLY reason people dont like him, is cause they dont want to have to play better.

This comment bugs me. My cousin is a Teemo main and thinks he's so fucking good at this game because he can 2v1 melee champs so easily after 6 and bully his lane so hard, and kite entire teams with his shrooms. He does this all whilst being pretty terrible at this game. He's only gold because Teemo is so easy to play whilst he doesn't understand basic concept of this game. He makes retarded decisions as Teemo too, but he gets away with them because he's playing Teemo.

So in response to "just get better" why should someone have to play several levels better than their opponent to defeat or just go even with them because they're playing against a cancerous and easy champion.

Just going to once again state, that it bothers me that Teemo mains often forget how damn easy their champion is.

Hmmm - Looking back, i kinda do sound like an ass there O.o sorry,I will try rephrase:

What I like about teemo: he punishes players for making mistakes, and does so VERY WELL. I like also, that if you are not careful, against knowledgeable opponents, you will be killed very quickly. I like that he both has high potential to be countered, and to counter, but that in both cases, it is not a hopeless cause for either player.

Finally, I like that he excels at playing against multiple enemies, but only if the player is careful (although, admittedly, careful in a manner different from what most champions consider).

But finally, I like that he is different: that you can play him REALLY wrong or REALLY well, and that a smart Teemo player can truly control his area via strategy, especially in higher level match-ups (higher level match-ups is relative: I am in silver - this is what I have seen friends who are better than I do)

But what I do not like, is that this is becoming a thing of the past. Rather than accept it as a style of play, and work to be better against it (here, I know, I sound rather prideful; this applies to me as well. I have trouble against certain champions, and I need to learn to do better) - instead, all I see, day after day, is people qq'ing to Riot about the champion - and Riot responding by nerfing him, despite the fact that when he sees play in LCS people immediatly assume the player is trolling.

Just for playing Teemo in NORMALS my team has immediatly named me a troll, and reported me. Even if I do well, I get reported, because "doing well while trolling, is still trolling."

Why do Teemo players have to deal with this kind of literal anger and toxicity from the rest of the community? I dont like Vayne. I dont like Irelia. I dont like Gnar, Zed, Olaf, or Poppy. I DO NOT call for their being nerfed. I DO NOT say that people who play them are bad, noobs, or try-hards. I accept I need to be a better player, and move on with my life. Why cant the community do the same?

Who puts Shrooms in the path crab follows? I put my shrooms at choke points where people enter river or engage Baron dragon at.

People keep complaining about the scuttler hitting shrooms, but it's not actually a nerf to Teemo. This change was a nerf to everyone who doesn't know how to adapt and change their shroom field placement.

MatthevvNov 27, 20143 votes

Well, it is still a nerf to Teemo, regardless of how you look at it. You are forgetting that players are typically smart. When they travel through the rivers, they will follow the scuttle crab pathing. How do you adapt your shroom placements if the enemy only travels along a path you can't shroom?

Sure there are choke points to the river but you only get to plant 1 or 2 shrooms at each. The shrooms need to be spaced out or else the extra shroom damage is wasted. Sure you could hope your opponents are unskilled and don't follow scuttle crab pathing, but that doesn't help us high elo teemo players in the slightest.

River shrooms should be used to keep enemies from retreating now, instead of entering your lane. You want to use lane shrooms for your own defense instead.

MatthevvNov 27, 20141 votes

A nerf is a nerf man. The previous Ideal locations for shrooming are now no longer viable. The river brushes being prime examples.

redniwediSNov 27, 20141 votes

In this case it's honestly just a change. You can pull off the same type of defensive grid with different placements.

MatthevvNov 27, 20141 votes

This change is a nerf, plain and simple. The most optimal defensive grids have already been established. Removing it is nerfing it.

Yandere CarryNov 28, 20141 votes

well then teemo got nerfed. what are you saying? it's a change in the game. The oracles change buffed teemo, this change nerfed him. Oh well.

Leblancs BoobNov 28, 20141 votes

I'm fine if it means less players will play Teemo..

KesseranNov 28, 20141 votes

How is that a nerf? It's considered a neutral monster. If you want Riot to remove shroom capabilities off of neutral monsters then that removes all hope of Teemo ever getting jungle farm if he's behind. What, are you gonna tell me you are willing to take golems/wolfs by blinds and not the slow/damage from shrooms? What a joke.
