He's just so underwhelming after all the changes (specially with the changes to adcs getting universally more damage/abilities etc) he can't assassinate anyone at any point, even with the best ambush set up possible unless he's incredibly far ahead (and in which case nearly anyone can do it or better).
Bring his E back to something you can't ignore in lane.
We always have our eyes on Teemo. Mainly just to see if he's looking back. I don't think he's in a terrible place, but I was honestly surprised the 6.1 changes didn't feel better for him. Always run into a couple of deep questions when I play him: do I want to win lane phase, or survive it? Do I want to be cute (Cottontail) or deadly (Omega Squad)? Sometimes the burden of these questions is too hard to overcome and I lose because of it. I'll make sure he remains in our conversations on this end. ;)
he just needs higher scalings. hes an auto attacker. any adc outdamages him late game. and his range is low.
Buff teemo so all melee top laners instantly lose lane?
Fuck that.
his w should allow him to hop on his shroom and bounce away(distance inscrease with the same rate as his ult shroom bounce)
(maybe with a cd or something so he can't just make a path full of shroom and bounce ad eternam (even tho it would be funny to see him jump on shrooms while his ennemies are gettin slowly killed by them))
The tweak to allow stealth with brush movement was a very nice and effective QOL tweak which allows him to dive through the brushes for slipperiness and easy attack rate bonuses. Not sure if attack rate is the most ideal bonus however, but the stat is something I value on him with how powerful his E actually can be... It was always really hard to take advantage of his passive in lane before in a skilled setting; not so much anymore tho
I think if Teemo's ult costed slightly less mana especially at later ranks 
would easily be core and he might even be a competitive niche rather than just a fun pick.
Now IDK if it's just me but his AP ratios seem lowish so I always forgo 
, putting more value on Lichbane or Void Staff always... That's fine because I hate saving soo much gold for that thing and enjoy the utilities other ap items have on the side
I don't really value 
, the effect never seemed that pronounced to me to be worth a slot... I've always felt I have to build him with either lichbane or nashor's to give him some bite to his burst or dps in teamfights (both is an option). It's also important to build him brawny sometimes too so Rylias & abyssal/zhonyas are most useful...
Teemo's skill order can vary on his opponent's tankiness and kill pressure. Q is more poke/burst and safer. This is often the way to go versus mages and melee carries for blind duration. E is for dps versus very tanky types. The style is fun but more dangerous in general but effective for doing a lot of damage in one fight. I will then often build to accommodate my skill order choice. Sheen for Q style or stinger for E style.
Right now the Q max poke style is easier to play, and less niche... Now I don't want to lose having options here, I feel having choices adds a lot of depth to the game, but I also feel like pressing Q to blind your opponent and chunk is a cheesy playstyle.
what happened to his e?
