Teemo needs a slight buff in compensation for gutting his shrooms

Honestly I will play Teemo no matter what, but now that Swifties got nurfed and Mercz got buffed lack of map control starts to show. My proposition would be to slightly empower his passive.

Camouflage [...] When the stealth is broken, Teemo gains the Element of Surprise, granting him 20 / 40 / 60 / 80% bonus attack speed for 3 second. If he stealths for at least two seconds he also gains Power of the Scouts code, granting his next basic attack gains bonus 30-120 + 10/20/30/40 % AP magic damage.

So that he has more ambush ability. Honestly when comes to stealth abilities, Teemo's is the healthiest in the game, so why not push him int this direction a bit. Or, we could do like this, kind of like Garen passive upgrades with levels:

Camouflage [...] When the stealth is broken, Teemo gains the Element of Surprise, granting him 20 / 40 / 60 / 80% bonus attack speed for 3 second. On lvl 11(16?) Element of Surprise unlocks, granting Teemo half the bonus on first basic attack against enemy champion, with 10s per-champion cooldown.

To push him more into right-click Teemo lategame. Compared to AP Teemo, on-hit Teemo is both healthier(because his enemies don't run into random 60% HP mine), and more satisfying to the player (takes more mechanical skill, and you don't get as easily denied with sweepers).

TL;DR I know I won't get any buffs for Teemo, only downvotes for this post. But hey, I'm in 15 minutes of queue, don't blame me for having stupid ideas.

As a Teemo main, I have to disagree. With the buff to deathfire touch, he's doing fine already. He may not need skill, but requires strategy and careful planning.

Don't believe me? Here's one of my Teemo games I recorded several weeks ago. I ended up about 16/0 or something and you can see that around this game, I could had died at least twice or three times, but my severe training helped me through.

I'd love to watch this, but the flickering UI is an eyesore.

Yeah, sorry about that. I fixed that in later videos, but in earlier ones, you have to handle it.

Sorry for the incovenience.

item 3151 + item 3135 deals shitton of damage, yeah, but it stops working around P5 because nobody will allow you to shroomtoss when it will really matters.

You don't need to trust me, but if you look at high-level Teemo players, they never build Shroomo. It is always on-hit Teemo, sometimes with Liandry's.

Sometimes I'd love to do that if most top laners weren't tanky match ups... Even a kha or a rengar top could be a break...
