They need a nerf because they
1)Gives his team free wards all around the map that don't expire
-
They slow a lot when you run over them, which can shift momentum in a team fight or ganks, also can do a lot of magic damage early game
-
They're incredibly annoying and obnoxious, i'm sick to death of running over stupid teemo rats crap everywhere
Riot please, limit its placement count to something reasonable
Seriously man are you new or something if you have a PROBLEM with Teemo? He's always the annoying bugger and he doesnt use them as wards, he use them as fear inducing traps to make people have a freak out attack if they hit a shroom and then imagine teemo is nearby ready to Q to W hit spam them down. Plus they usually have 'priming times' so if your team is stupid enough to not notice teemo throwing mushrooms directly on your team and no one quickly gets out of the way to avoid them detonating after the 1~2ish second 'prime time' where it stealths and then can actually be tripped if any enemy is 'on it', then your team seriously has problems.
He can use them to teleport too but considering he has to eat 75 mana per shroom and if he doesn't stack items like Nashor tooth, Liandri's torment and Sorceror's shoes, they tend to not have huge damage or a fast restock time to be able to manage the shrooms so they just become more like annoying bugger items then death inducing traps, especially if no Magic penetration is backed on him to make the MR not reduce the damage by much.
PLUS they last 5 minutes (3 on Twisted tree line), so they usually aren't lasting long enough to be ungodly harass power. They only work if Teemo can constantly put them out. Literally the damage for Rank 1 is 50 base per second for a total of 200 damage over 4 seconds plus 50% of his AP over that duration (12.5% per second), so the base damage itself tends to not be out'standing, its only thanks to M pen and liandri's powerful hp % burn that will automatically get doubled up due to the slow on Teemo's shrooms that let it prevail so strongly. Since they don't last long and Teemo has to take the time to walk around and burn his mana in the process, he doesn't really get that many out besides maybe around 6 or so at a time without them usually being tripped. Plus the damage is stuck over time so besides refreshing the duration, they turn out to be highly useless to put together to kill them with shroom stacks only, unless you space them out enough to let the damage tic down a few seconds.
What really needs to be worked on is Akali, Yasuo and all the Marksmen champions who can exploit this 'penetration marksmen build shenigans over the standard Critical hit builds. Because unlike Teemo, they make it nightly impossible to get a fair 'trade off' where Teemo can still be countered by using red trinkets or detectors to limit his effective jungle polluting with mines play style.
