The Mordekaiser rework got me thinking. (Teemo Related)
While the common consensus is that the Mordekaiser rework flat out sucks since it "forces" a champion into a lane he has never been played before I'm intrigued by Riot's intentions behind it. Sure, they should and probably will make the changes needed to polish his shiny metal ass enough to work out well in a solo lane but that's not the subject of this thread, no. This thread's on a far more malicious creature than Mordekaiser could ever hope to be: Teemo!
Since Morde's rework should entice him to be played bot due to some benefits to his kit (Dragon, W passive, etc.) and Nidalee was effectively turned into a beastly jungler while still leaving her laning intact, albeit less obnoxious I thought we could do the same to the Swift Scout.
Teemo just recently received some minor work done to him, which are kinda fun but don't serve any higher goal, even going as far as nerfing his shroom duration significantly. But how could riot even buff him without making him the bane of top lane? Well, what I suggest aren't exactly buffs but rather some changes similar to Nidalees, and how Morde's should have been, but I'm digressing.
WHAT IF....We made Teemo a JUNGLER? He's got a pretty binary and toxic (Huehue) play style top lane and he could use some changes to give him some more interesting aspects to open up the jungle role for the SCOUT, what's a scout's worth if he doesn't scout the enemy terrain and builds up pressure all around the map with his shrooms and presence?
AP junglers aren't really favored by the jungle due to their lack of consistent damage and reliance on mana, both issues Teemo doesn't have. So why don't we spice thing up a bit and give him some more tools to get through the jungle and become this shady nightmarish creature painting your dreams? What I'm suggesting aren't real number buffs but additional effects on his skills when used in the jungle.
-Make his blind last longer on Monsters -When fighting in a bush he enjoys a buff that makes jungle monsters either miss their attacks on him or have their damage reduced by a flat amount. He doesn't need any more damage but survivability's a must in the current Jungle. -Make his Shrooms last longer when put into brushes. This makes it harder for the enemy to tread into his domain while still offering a lot of utility by placing them at chokepoints.
But these are just my thoughts on the subject on making it attractive for classic champions to move out of their comfort zone/lane and try out new positions, which is always a good thing :^)
still cant have his cigar? Kfor oranges

get minor tweaks to become the first official ADC/Jungler champs.

) as well as shrooms working better in bushes. That way hes not really any better top lane while making him a viable jungler.
would like a word with you.
