Teemo's shroom's life total

Nebuul·Mar 24, 2014·2 votes·660 views

Is there a reason that teemo shrooms have so much life? I was playing top lane vs a teemo yesterday, so I got a sweeper instead of ward trinket. When he hit 6 and started dropping mushrooms in front of his turret, I did a sweep. There were 2 shrooms there.

I could not even kill one before the vision expired. I hit it 3 times.

If I can see it, I should be able to 1-shot it. They aren't hit by aoe, so there really is not a reason for them to be sturdy. If a player manages to detect a mushroom before it goes off, that player should be rewarded by being able to kill it.

I could be wrong but don't his traps only have 100 health? It shouldn't take that long to kill.

All I know is that, as Nunu (going AP/tankie), I was unable to kill one mushroom during the time of a sweeper reveal at level 6. The extra funny thing is that as soon as the sweeper went off, the shroom then instantly exploded on me for an additional slap-to-the-face for being unable to destroy it in time.

Maybe they have armor? Maybe there are other factors at play, but ultimately my complaint is that I bought a sweeper, I used it and found shrooms, and it provided me no counter-play whatsoever.

You moved too close to the shroom if you triggered it. Every champ should be able to kill it with basic attacks.

The sweeper suppresses traps until it wears off. It exploded when the sweeper expired because, yes, I was within 60 units since it had not crossed my mind that I would not be able to kill an explosive mushroom.

The reason I believe that teemo's shrooms have a base health is so that they a player can not just clear them all out of an area with 1 oracles. If they made it a 1 shot kill this would cripple his mushroom presence on the map. They already nerved the damage on the mushroom so I do not think that they should nerf the health. Teemo already is mediocre at best but nerfing him even more would possibly make him unplayable.
