Why do some people pick Teemo to [try] counter LeBlanc?

It has to be the worst champion someone can pick against her. The reverse ends up being true. Just wait until you can tp into position (he overextends mid lane by being out of his turret range), use distortion to land your ethereal chains and he's nigh dead. Just need to be defensive for a few levels until you have your ult.

Yet I see it happen.

Is there something I'm missing besides someone's inexperience playing against a LeBlanc?

(Perhaps it's my low elo haha. xD)

I don't think anybody outside of bronze picks teemo as a leblanc counter.

nobody picks teemo to counter leblanc. Teemo is disadvantaged in every aspect of this matchup.

they pick teemo to play teemo.

I don't think I ever saw anyone try to pick Teemo to counter LB. There is very little Teemo can do on this lane even from level 1. LeBlanc has more range, burst, mobility, AD and even sustain (higher health regen).

Are you sure they are picking Teemo to counter LB? Maybe they are picking Teemo just because they main him (if you start playing Teemo, there's no coming back - I know something about that). ^_^
