Correct me if I'm mistaken, but I'm pretty sure this is the only ability in the game to get this special treatment. Abilities have cooldowns and costs for a reason, so you can't spam them over and over. That's why Ezreal has the highest mana costs in the game and is forced to build a tear (and max CDR) every game. Anyways, toxic shot shouldn't have 100% uptime. Please change this ability so it's actually balanced.
1011001110007 votesHis Toxic Shot cannot apply Spell Effects and is thematically cohesive with his kit and theme.
If anything, the fact that it takes up an entirely ability slot and isn't just part of his actual passive is holding him back.

Yea, his stealth, blind, and free vision really hold him back...
And THANK GOD it doesn't apply spell effects. It would be stupid as f*ck to put that on an ability with no cooldown.
1011001110001 votesI'm not talking about holding him back in terms of strength. His kit needs to be reworked and rebalanced to be more healthy for the game's balance as a whole, and one of the issues is that an entire ability slot is taken up by a dinky on-hit passive.
His kit's toxic as shit. It holds him back from being relatively balanceable and playable with respect to the state of the game as it has been for the last couple of years.
Brindar5 votesits called a passive effect, there are plenty of them in the game, in fact each champion has one, its the box on the left that you have even at level one before you put a point in any ability

Pointless information that we already know. And you still haven't answered my question.
MisterHealYoGirl3 votesCho'Gath's E, Vi's W, Vayne's W, and Warwick's E are all pure passives with no active component. Just because it's passive doesn't mean that it's broken. Also, if you think that Ezreal's 28 mana for a Mystic Shot is a good example of mana gating in lane, allow me to introduce Lissandra, whose Q costs 85 mana at rank one and does less damage.
Tysmin3 votesyou told everyone to correct you if you were wrong and you are wrong there are plenty of abilities in the game that have no active aspect only a passive
Edit: Also ezreal has far from the highest mana costs in the game people build tear on him because his strength is in his abilities and it gives him a bunch of free ad towards the end of the game
ZephyrDrake3 votesPointless information that we already know. And you still haven't answered my question.
yes he did, learn to read. Teemo's E is a passive ability, it has no active component and there are plenty of skills in the game that are like that. Hell a lot of champions have an ability that has both a passive element to it AND an active portion. You know one part that is always active and the other with the actual mana cost and CD? That's the reason his E doesn't cost mana or has a CD. Because it's a passive, you want it to be an active and has a mana cost? then i hope you are prepared to have it buff by quite a bit then

No he didn't. I asked why Teemo's 'e' shouldn't cost mana or have a cooldown. I didn't get an answer.
Blitzidious3 votes:l He did. Very few passives actually have cooldowns, and I don't know I single champion with a passive that costs mana. His E, said passive, takes up a spot where an active could go.
If you're having problems with Teemo, try being more farm-focused early game, and rush an mr item, such as Banshee's, or Spirit's. Teemo isn't a healthy champion, but he's far from overpowered.

E has this and applies spell effects
W has this and applies spell effects
Passive technically gives all his AAs and abilities this
E passive gives her attacks this yet weaker
Passive is technically this
Passive is this

All these are on-hit effects attached to a champion's kit that come at no cost or cool down that also deal immediate damage.
Lenny96y1 votes4 of them are melee characther,great part of the others require some sorta of stacking or cost to be actually useful and for the rest it just helps them because their kit its not so good (the only exception is for kayle but only her) and no one of that is cancerous and stupid like teemo E or has a authistic 60% AP SCALING,
Murford4 votesCho'Gath E is the same way. You can toggle it on and off, but no cool down or mana cost.
Ruin Lance1 votesactually you aren't able to turn off toxic shot once you level it
Billy VoHagen4 votesThis is how we tell when someone is bad.

If you ever played teemo you would realize how wrong your statement is. Teemo's q cooldown is in a good spot its not too short or too long and the mana cost for it is high. Look at vlad's q which is cheaper and on a shorter cooldown.
Zero Skill Tank1 votesWhy would Teemo be the only marksman with downtime on His autoattacks? Because they scale of ap rather than ad?
Lenny96y1 votesteemo marksman nice joke here buddy
Mecha MaIphite1 votesit would be the worst spell ever
"activate this to do baby damage to your enemy while eating away your own mana"
Cloud2731 votesHe already gets a blind, stealth, and free wards. Why does he need more free damage? He should have to pay for his abilities like (almost) everyone else.
Atanchan1 votesYou mean like 
and 
?
Yeah, it's really strange. No other champion gets on-hit damage by just using an ability point, and not even Teemo gets on-hit damage without even skilling anything, so why the special treatment?
Baunjo1 votesJesus please do NOT give Certainly T any idea's... I'm perfectly okay with some extra dot on auto attacks. I mean, for real, have you EVER played against with someone who is short ranged? At least Teemo E takes up an ability.
Miku Lv991 votesIt's just some extra damage from auto-attacking. It's not really a problem. I don't even think it's as good as Vayne's silver bolts since they scale so much harder than Teemo's. And Vayne is better than Teemo is right now so you'd be more likely to get somewhere complaining about her's always being up.
EmEx1 votesEz highest mana cost? I thought Swain, Cassio, Anivia have higher, they run out even with blue buff.
MysteriousBootie1 votesMEANWHILE IN BRONZE V
Lenny96y1 votesoh sure mister unranked, at least bronze 5 players try to get out from there you dont even play ranked tell me how you are better than them please
The Deckowner1 votesBecause this is a passive ability, that gives teemo enhanced auto attack that will cause DOT effect on enemy.
has similar thing
Colgate Gator1 votesBecause Teemo is already unviable as he is.
If he had a mana cost for his toxic shot, he would need other things buffed, IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT!?
