Isn't it about time they give Teemo an update? He's rarely picked and barely functions when he is

He's a lane bully that can no longer bully enemies unless they play their upmost worst, everything he used to counter can easily beat him down without effort. Going all in on a Teemo is the easiest thing in the world and it's all because his kit is outdated and no longer functions in the current state of the game.

The only thing he has going for him anymore is his mushrooms, but even then it requires him to be full build at 40+ minutes to work. Teemo has become a lategame champion that cant even survive the early game.

So, my suggestion to update his kit so it can operate better in the current state of the game?

  • Change his Q into a skillshot, add a bit of extra range and give it nearsight instead of the auto-attack blind.
  • Give his W a slow cleanse
  • Give his E an active that grants a short period of increased passive damage-over-time against enemies effected by his other poisons like Q and Ult.

And that's it, that's all he needs to be viable now, nearsight to throw a wrench in the engage of enemies trying to get on him or allies, a small buff to his W to help him with getting away if they do get on him, and a small buff to his E that promotes ambushing enemies afflicted with his other poisons.

It's time to move Teemo away from being a stereotype perma right-click lane bully and make him into more of a strategic pick made for denying enemy engage and providing area control.

Not to mention casters and "personalities" constantly make fun of it or people whine if it's suggested to be picked because it's some meme that teemo is "annoying" or whatever.

How far it's come. From teemo being annoying toplane to champions like Lucian being flexed into every single Lane in pro dominating and scaling harder than teemo ever could.

Teemo is a useless champ and it's sad

Q: Doesnt need to be a skillshot, not everything needs to be a skillshot, Also, fuck nearsight, its one of the most cancer effects ive ever seen, and should only be (in my opinion) on Nocturnes ult, plus, how many actual blinds do we have in the game? Its a good counter to champs that auto a lot, like rammus and his niche of being a walking thornmail. its annoying, but its fine how it is currently.

W: Hell no, he would be impossible to catch up to, when his weakness is "once you get to him he can only rely on movespeed", you don't need him cleansing out of cc like that seeing as how hes already slippery, especially if they were to max his w 1st or 2nd

E: I actually do like that, they tried that swapping that with his current passive, but it didn't work out. Why not if this idea is scrapped, "If the target is hit by all 3 poisons at the same time, they are affected by neurotoxin" or something, that makes it so either the poisons do more dmg, or a 4th DoT is applied that adds the "extra poison dmg" but doesn't actually do dmg itself, kinda like how Fizz ult used to amp dmg when it poped for like 2-3 seconds.

The only thing he really needs changed imo is his passive and w, maybe not the whole bush invis thing, but atleast make something more interesting than the attack speed, and the w needs to be something else, id be fine with passive movespeed, but having the active just double it is lame.

the only thing that needs changed on teemo is his W speed (seriously. even at max rank he's still slow at shit and is slowed after being hit. bump it up) and give his E an active. or even make his E his proper passive and give him a new E.
