All blinds(including teemo) should be replaced with this new 'blind'

Quinn's new 'blind'? Awesome. Can we have this for all blinds?

This would fit Teemo a lot too, and the counterplay for it is really interesting(get near them). It also makes teemo about the same vs. other ranged champions, but melee champions are better vs. him. Also: DID HE STEALTH IN THE BUSH OR KEPT RUNNING AWAY! YOU DON'T KNOOOOOOW CAUSE YOU BLIND

A 'blind' on shrooms as well would be funny, but probably OP without a lot of other changes. Lets stick with the new blind on Q to begin with. I love how it's literally a 'blind' gameplay-wise as well, as you literally can't see everything. And it's not unique to Quinn right now anyway, as both Nocturne and Graves already have this new 'blind'.

tl;dr: Teemo blind should disconnect allied vision and reduce vision range to 300 like Quinn's new Q, because it seems much more fun to play against and much better thematically.

Yeah, a Blind shouldn't be a "Oh, now you can't hit something with your fist but you can hit them with magic just fine". It should, I don't know, take away your freaking vision.

Teemo is literally the only champion left that has Blind, there is no "all blinds" anymore. In fact it was only Quinn and Teemo before pre-season.

Shows how much you know about the game.

Teemo is already underpowered, the only place he can go is top, against very specific match-up (melee AD).

Removing blind would kill his only niche.

No, it's not a good idea. Teemo dies easily

No, the problem with old quinn's blind was that she was also a ranged adc, that is a nasty combination. Teemo's only tool to retaliate against people just going all in on him is his blind that helps him trade.

EDIT: PLZ dont let riotrepetoir know that teemo has blind... i fear he might get reworked with a screwed blind and have a new ult:

bump shroom: that has 2 secs channel and let him have 500 mov speed, he goes bumping where he wants (tough its hard to control) and when he decides to stop the ultimate he drops a harmless shroom that works as a ward debris

It's not as much "Quinn's" as "Graves'" originally.

Isn't Teemo's niche that he is strong against melee tops?

Thus nerfing him against Melee is a flat Teemo nerf?

Thematically, I think this would be a fun direction to take, though they would need to do something to make him remain viable

I don't think that this would be good for Teemo. It would make him weaker in the top lane tbh, and he's already not that good. Yeah, he's super annoying in lane, but it's not like he's very strong right now. I feel like this would hurt Teemo more than benefit him.

Is all a small and stedy move to remove them just like GW on champions miss fortune loss hers fizz loss his watch varus loss it soon

As a master yi main I approve of this change

shouldnt teemos blind come in after a second delay? let me explain, teemo is all about that DOT and it might fit in better lore/thematically might so after one auto you get blinded in your idea i havent read the champion update/ideas so how wrong am i?

Teemo's blind should stay as is. And please fix his traps (Deathfire Touch, Items effects, dead wards...) before changing him.

There's already more "counterplay" for blinds than there is for silences. Mages for equal treatment!

The blind ONLY counters aa champs. He is toast against ability casters/bursters, cc, and gap closers. Just because his blind counters a SINGLE target aa for a short period of time, doesn’t make it op. Jax and Vlad have a similar mechanism, except it can counter the ENTIRE team’s aa against them. Many champs have a form of complete damage mitigation for a small period of time.

Valor Bot11/24/2015, 2:39:51 PM1 votes

I think they've stated they want him to keep his current iteration of the blind, as it is his only defense tool---apparently, it was problematic on Quinn because she had both the blind and Vault to reposition herself mid fight, as well as her ultimate to force engagements.

They also said they wouldn't hesitate to put a blind on a new Champion if it fit thematically.

Koechophe11/24/2015, 7:10:58 PM1 votes

As long as you make it AOE and buff him elsewhere, sure. The blind Quinn has IS less powerful than teemo's, and is only comprable because it has longer range and an aoe.

Vikíng11/24/2015, 4:03:19 PM1 votes

Only if you make Teemo's Q a skillshot. Otherwise, that is basically a perma blind.

Aír11/24/2015, 6:23:56 PM1 votes

I have an idea for Teemo's ult:

When someone steps on it, have the screen go all wavy and start flashing rainbow colors. Hipster music would start playing in the background and there is a 40% chance that you will go a different direction than you intend to walk when you click to move.

Being high is fun, he said. Being high isn't dangerous, he said.

Teemo's role in the top lane has been to deny farm by blinding the enemy champion whenever they go for a minion, and by zoning melee champions. He will not be able to deny them farm by blinding; and if he gets jumped on he's also screwed. He will have near zero trading potential against many champions he once countered, or at least had a chance to lane against. If he gets the new blind he needs a real escape and/or a cc removal on his W for whenever the enemy gets too close to him; else they will pop him.

Abyssphere11/24/2015, 5:46:27 AM1 votes

I think this would be a great change for Teemo, but I imagine it'd require some more follow up. Teemo's kit is pretty awful just because he has constant targeted harass + the blind to make trading back difficult. Take away his only form of real defence (the new "blind", while strong in its own right, would not be reliable) and I imagine his kit just wouldn't function anymore.
