Teemo Rework: Swift Scout is neither Swift nor a Scout.

I like that Teemo is getting some love, but I think the current rework ideas are a bit iffy. In my opinion we need to focus on his W and his new E. His passive and Q reworks are fine, with some good tweaking.

E - It's been said before, taking his invisibility and giving camouflage hurts. I liked the suggestion to give him camouflage while moving outside of bushes, but regular invisibility inside of them. People walking right ontop of you is primo teemo gameplay.

W - It's a dumb ability. It does nothing and it's basically useless unless you need a fraction more movement speed to dodge something for a second. It hurts. So here's my suggestion, add some synergy to Teemo's kit with his invisibility and his W.

Remove the slow on his new E, maybe give him a little extra movement speed like Twitch gets, and allow his W to synergize by VASTLY increasing his movement speed WHILE invisible with his E. Give Teemo huge mobility, he is the SWIFT SCOUT afterall, and if Teemo could push lane and speed through the enemy's jungle placing wards and scouting buffs or jungler positions, hiding in bushes and making it back to lane in time to defend his turret his macro skill expression could be vastly increased to help his high-level play. Having Teemo able to scout for his team could be invaluable for ELO's where vision is king.

Then again i'm copper so I don't even know what vision is. [sg-zephyr]

I really wish the Rioter working on this Teemo rework would just give up and let it go already. The rework completely misunderstands why the champion is so popular and fun to play.

Hopefully we've seen the last of that "rework", it was crap. Teemo doesn't need any rework, we don't need to see him in pro play.

Do you guys think it's possible that they'll just drop it? I've been under the impression that it's happening no matter what we want, and we just have to direct it to be the best we can.

It is should it not be well recieved. If I am not mistaken Karma rework has been delayed or frozen given that I saw no update, though this one stopped before PBE, they were just exploring ideas. Teemo's work is quite advanced though given the bad track record of mini-updates (from the bundle updates, Tank Updates, Assasin Updates etc.) I think they'll be much more careful with mini-updates now.

With how often the Teemo rework keeps popping up on the PBE, I'm guessing they are probably going to push it through no matter what at some point. If it had not been brought back to the PBE after it was first introduced months ago, then I would say it is dead. However, it has found its way into several different PBE cycles at this point which makes me think that the person working on this will pursue it until something ships.

"Then again i'm copper so I don't even know what vision is."

I like this mentality.

step 1. explain a game mechanic step 2. describe how a change could be beneficial to the game step 3. call out inconsistencies between different levels of play step 4. point out one's own lack of rank step 5. insult everyone including yourself with a stereotype based on that rank step 6. have others assume that you're wrong because you don't think your opinion matters. step 7. never receive credit for your contributions regardless of validity

If you really wanted him to be a swift scout the first thing you should do is allow them to get rid of his R, scouts have no need for illegal substances its against the scouts code.

He's also guerilla, the shroom is supposed to be trap turning environment to his advantage in known area.
