Can teemo get some love?

Seriously, can he? he sees almost 0 play in ranked, his kit requires him to either chase, which can lead to him being kited into death, or kite enemies through his shrooms, which smart enemies wont do. His shrooms do a pathetic amount of damage at this point, his blind is borderline useless, and he basically stops doing damage once you have a cowl, then comepltley stops doing damage once you have a visage.

Its hardly fair that teemo has been nerfed agian and again meanwhile champs like vayne, lee, rengar, etc. all get to jsut dominate ranked play. I want to see teemo get some buffs to actually make him viable. as it stands now he offers almost nothing to teamfights, only the ability to blidn the ADC -IF- he gets close enough and even then most ADC's can use an ability to mitigate the effect in some way, like trist using her bombs, MF using her targeted shot, vayne using her knockback, quinn using her own blind, jinx using traps or slows, draven autoing you with his axes becuase bullshit... and i coudl go on all day.

so heres a few things that woudl help teemo IMMENSELY:

  1. do soemthign to his Q, yes its useful, but its very limited as is. targeted blind is easy to dodge by walking into a bush when you are fighting, then when he tries to follow go in on him. I dont know how to make this more useful, but SOEMTHIGN needs to be done.

  2. Make his W 2 parted. More then it is now i mean. It passively grants movespeed, but only if not damaged recently, and if hes slowwed then it jsut does nothign at all, and activating it while slowwed does almost nothing since the slow jsut increases in effectiveness based on his new movespeed. So, why not make it that if he's under the effect of a slow instead of bosoting his speed it removes the slow and gives him a 1 second boost, then goes back to its passive boost? that woudl allow him to escape slows, and give him a better chance to chase down fleeing enemies who try and slow him to escape.

  3. His E damage is sad, give it a boost. Maybe give him a passive where his autos gain 50% of his AD in magic damage, he woudl still have to build AP to make his kit work, but adding that AD ratio lets him build a few other items other then tooth, echo, deathcap, and torment. I used to play teemo with a hextech and had some moderate success with it, hiding out in bushes before a teamfight and shredding one single target befor ei died with sheer burst power with Q, hextech, and deathfire grasp. But now buildign hextech jsut isnt effecient, its better to build torment and echo and hope they stick around to fight you after.

  4. Shrooms. I get it, this is why people HATE teemo. But stop and think abotu it. a small AOE explosion that does no damage, and jsut slows? what does that offer to a team fight? If your shrooms arent prepositioned then they do NOTHING. they do very little damage, have poor scaling, and honestly, they dont last long enough to actually do anyhting anymore. So, the easy fix is up the damage, and how long they last per level. Teemo cant scale well into the late game, so change it. Make his shrooms punish players for allowing a game to go too long. bring back his old shroom ratios, and then set the timers to 5/7.5/10 minutes per level. then you meet in the middle, giving him his old damage back, but keeping his low shroomtimes, forcing teemos to play carefully early, then havign late game damage to offer his team. I already enjoy tossing a lvl 3 shroom into a teamfight jsut to add some extra dmage, but 9 times out of 10 its jsut an AOe slow for my team to pick up kills with. If you gave him damage then he woudl be of use, and not jsut a huge joke.

I think teemo is in a pretty fine state. Just gotta build alot of PEN before they get MR.

I always tend to get item 3151 item 3020 first. and trust it does a lot.. item 3135

The only thing I would change in his kit would be his W. His passive move speed is great don't get me wrong bit I feel his W active move speed feels pretty weak..

Q does good damage..

and his E.. is one of the only poisons that scale off AP...

and his R.. well Full AP teemo is.... ya..

I think they are giving a buff to his R as we speak because they halved it's durration. but honestly if your shrroms last 5 minutes you're doing something wrong.. Im happy with the faster reload time. Get more shroooms down in key sports more quickly.

my shrroms don't stay on the map.. they're gone after a max of 2 minutes.. I placed shrrooms and my friend caused the enemy to step on one shrrom.. freak out.. and step on another... and then another... IT WAS SOO FUNNY! Im like "How did we calculate this?"

You have to be THAT teemo to be a teemo.. play like a wussy, deal tons of damage and use your intellect to outsmart opponents.

the problem is that hes an AP champ whose AP scalign it comeplte trash. 12.5% of his R, 10% on hit with E and 30% per second on E, with EXTREMELEY low base damage to begin with. right now his ONLY decent scalign is on his Q which is still only 80%, and you cant spam it like urgot Q and claim you are dogin damage.

Teemo needs love, he really does. SOEMTHIGN to make him better then he is now, as it stands he relies way too much on items, meanwhile champs like lee sin can just build pure tank and still 1 shot him, and thats jsut not fair.

R is low because you place a lot of them. good placements mean more damage. (Like I said If your shrroms last more then 5 minutes.. there's something wrong with there you are placing them)

His E is low because THAT'S ON AUTO ATTACK! if it was any higher It'd be TOXIC..

His W could use to get a bit stronger

and his Q CHUNCKS YOU IF YOU'RE SQUISHY

I agree he could use some love but I don't think he needs buffs to his AP ratios..

the problem with his E is that, as you stated, ITS AN AUTO ATTACK. its HIS auto attack. AD champs auto attacks scale 1:1 with AD, with kalista being the one single exception to that rule, so why does teemo;s primary damage scale at a grand total of 40%? it severly limits his combat, and restricts him to a set of specific items to have a chance at duelign anyone, and sure his Q can chunk, but lee and rengar can jsut one shot you. so can nasus late game, pantheon can stun you afte ryou blidn him and do his spear thing... most champs care very little abotu his Q at this point.

I think you're completely missed judging temmo's power but that's neither here nor there in regards to some of the changes you made temmo is a marksman and will be altered during the marksman update I believe

Why do people buy a Liandry's then complain he cant take tanks? Liandry's ia a spell vamp item its useless as only his q get anything from spell vamp get a BOTRK instead letting him shred tanks and actually get healed from it Also build a runaans on him it gives him a constant aoe poison and lets him rip thru minions when combined with the aforementioned BOTRK
