I actually think it's fine as it is. People were complaining that his stealth was "weak" compared to other characters, now rito not only gave him stealth in actual games but in the queues itself. Look everywhere, and you literally can't see him.

Clearly you're a god at coding, why do you try to help them fix it and see how long it actually takes to fix something.

If it was a "meta" champion they would have fixed them by now. Remember when Riven was bugged in 6.20 and they disabled her? bet you didn't cause they fixed her in a few hours. It's not that it's hard, its just that they don't care.

Wow, your comment is so naive it hurts...

Not all bugs are created equal. Some bugs you see and you know exactly where the problem is and how to fix it without harming anything else. Others require you to undo most of what you spent the last week coding.
Meta champions have been disabled before too. Caitlynn had a bug that took her offline for days. Rumble has had bugs take him offline for days. Riven has revealed a bug so big it got her disabled AND took down ranked for 28 hours because they later found out it effected other champions as well.

Some things I should point out to you as another thing that is making it take so long.

It's a weekend.
MLK was Monday so no one was working.

FYI, the bug is FIXED on pbe. Riot just doesn't care enough to patch it.

if you don't know how long a bugfix takes then why did you make this thread

Toxic Teemo MainJan 16, 20173 votes

Riven's fast combo bug on patch 6.20 got patched within hours, they it's been days, they clearly don't care.

Big LincolnJan 16, 20175 votes

zed was disabled for more than a week in season 5

don't cherry pick

DracocrashJan 17, 20171 votes

Yeah, but nobody likes zed.

Also, last i checked, the bug was fixed on PBE, so now it's only about patching.

FioraWillCarryJan 16, 20173 votes

I must admit. The game is more fun without Teemo in every other game. I hope it takes 2 years to fix this bug.

DracocrashJan 17, 20171 votes

yeah, every game.

5% playrate champion.

get out of here xD

Its pretty ridiculous this is taking so long. item 3070

Zed was once disabled for more than a week, tho his playerbase is bigger nobody cried on boards. Teemo is disabled and his mains go crazy on the boards...

RamboDash15Jan 16, 20172 votes

Zed's not a meme, and as such does not deserve friends, ice cream, or love

Haha, what the fuck. "Nobody cried on boards" That isn't even all of it.

To everyone pointing out that other champions have been disabled for longer, let us not forget that they blamed the spaghetti code for each one. This bug revolves around his stealth mechanic, which Riot just updated the code for.

Could you possibly enlighten us who haven't played or played against teemo, exactly what these bugs actually did?

Teemo would stealth in a bush after 3 seconds regardless if he was in combat or not giving him his attack speed buff.

WoonStruckJan 17, 20172 votes

It doesn't matter if they just updated the code. They went in and changed very small, specific things. They did not rewrite the code entirely.

Even if they DID rewrite all of the stealth code entirely, this bug came up after not touching it at all for months. It would not be very easy to locate the root cause because it could be anything that interacts with Teemo at all causing the bug. It could be a specific champion just being in the game with a specific skin for all we (or the devs) know.

Then you have to find the specific area that's causing the code, which is just as big of a hassle itself. Then you have to find out how to re-write it without causing the same issue. Then you have to fix the bugs THAT causes, and this is another part of what Riot refers to as spaghetti code because something completely unrelated can end up bugged because of a fix.

#TL;DR: you have no idea how coding works.
