Poor Teemo

Played a game as Teeto earlier where the enemy jungler would gank/dive me while I was directly in front of my tower or behind it.... and... and... just drop a stinkin control ward down completely making my shrooms useless while they proceeded to bend me over in my safe zone. item 3070 item 3070 item 3070

Can we give Teemo's shrooms some love? 🙏🏻

They need to make the Traps visible but not disabled when revealed by sweeper or control ward

Let's see. We're going to let Vayne disappear and roll all over the place and erase people yet any character whatsoever need only place a control ward to disable Teemo's ult. Yeah that's fair.

Let's give them % Max HP true damage if they have less than 30% of their duration left.

Definitely agreed; however, Teemo needs help in other parts of his kit other than damage really as that's all he has at this point of time. With his shrooms being so easily disabled, it makes quite an impact on the champion as so much of his power is stored within those shrooms. With his laning phase also being really strong - I think Teemo would benefit more from better utility in his kit as opposed to buffing his shrooms or base damage really.

Teemo is meant to be a lane bully; however, his mobility is laughable and he's quite simple to gank in the earlier levels (and even later levels if the Teemo player doesn't position shrooms accordingly to protect themselves). Right now, he's lost a lot of his map control niche ever since his shroom timers went down to 5 minutes and the extra vision tools just make his shrooms even less reliable. Do they need counters? Definitely. However, at the same time - Teemo provides very little else to his team as his range is low even as a marksman.

Perhaps the idea with the tracks could help Teemo get a new niche to help out his team as seen by another highly rated topic on the gameplay board this week. I feel his W really could be better as Teemo barely represents much as a scout and is hardly swift to boot either considering his weak form of escape. Regardless - Teemo really doesn't need more damage at all...but he needs more utility to bring to his team as right now, the shrooms are pretty much his main form of defense and damage after laning phase for AP Teemo players.

Indeed Riot sees Teemo's kit as iconic; however, perhaps an Alistar-level rework for little Teemo can help him out to bring some fresh new mechanics to his kit. Ryze received plenty of reworks...would be nice to have Teemo get a proper rework to give him more reliable utility to his team as right now, Quinn can do his job, but better in the top lane and even as a scout as well.

I'm 100% fine with the sweeper being able to disable his shrooms as it's limited to a duration and cooldown.. but a control ward should not disable them. Visible? Yeah.. That's fine. Disable for 75g? That kind of goes against what their changes to invisibility/stealth was intended to do.

Id like his shroom toss to be reworked a little and be a skillshot that if missed becomes a regular teemo shroom, if it hits then it does damage direct hit dmg and have a higher scaling hit

As a fellow Teemo main i feel your struggle. However it's not that of a huge deal to me. I always win my lane and survive 90% of ganks, but i do think that a 75G item shouldn't be a counter to Teemo's ultimate. Teemo

why didnt you just use your passive, control wards dot work on that

Gamer Life12/24/2016, 1:13:38 PM2 votes

yer they need to sort it so it dosnt disable them and just makes them visable

51% win rate and 5% play rate, he doesn't need any buffs. Talon or heimerdinger are in a need of buffs.

lower damage on shrooms, damage increased per shroom stepped on within a window of time.

less annoying random shroom pops, more rewards for single shroom landfill/strategic placements

Ariel the Cruel12/24/2016, 6:43:33 AM2 votes

When Teemo's kit becomes less frustratingly uninteractive, we can talk buffs.

But as long as his entire shtick is to nuke people (rarely kill) with almost no counter-play and often without even being anywhere nearby (shrooms), I am personally in full favor of him being nonviable.

Satan needs a rework more than anything,

They just need to revert the stealth shit they did. Give pinks back. Take control wards away.

WeedTits12/25/2016, 7:10:37 AM1 votes

Git dunked rat, could still use sweeper instead of control ward. And stay dunked.

Just don't play teemo you satanist

Tusutaki12/24/2016, 4:33:34 PM1 votes

I just want the trap duration to be back at 10 minutes as his ult has gotten a huge nerf. From .8 AP to .5 AP and from 10 minute lifespan to 5 minutes.

I am fine with nerfing the AP ratio of his ult as compensation for his throwing range but the short lifespan makes his threat more of a minor inconvenience than something to take consideration of.

No, giving Teemo love would be admitting that he's in a bad spot to begin with. His design is one Riot has explicitly stated before they don't want being consistently viable.

invisiblecat112/24/2016, 6:46:12 PM1 votes

I hate how that halves his shroom duration in return for bouncing and some range The range doesn't matter since the arm time late game makes it so placing them near enemies makes they die instantly
