Can we let half of the Earnings from Omega Teemo go to Charities for PTSD?
I know PTSD is a major issue, and it seems that the omega teemo skin has him kinda suffering from it. I think.it would be appropriate and all around a nice thing to do.

I love this idea,
Wounded Warrior Project,
Riot should donate a portion of the proceeds to that. It would be an awesome thing to do!!! REDS COMMENT ON THIS IDEA!!!
It could go to the wounded warrior project...but this is great too
When has Riot ever done anything immediately helpful for anyone that wasn't on an LCS team?
Maybe specifically to veterans, and then also Wounded Warrior?
PTSD for those who have suffered the bronze elo.
This needs more upvotes.
ew, again you would better give them to the relatives of those people, esp. civilians who were murdered by these guys with ptsd, these veterans already live like 100x times better than those
I love this idea. I was already going to buy the skin but this sweetens the deal so much... And it makes so much sense.
There was a skit by a guy named George Carlin, who talks about how it went from Shell Shock, to Battle Fatigue, to Operational Exhaustion, and finally to it's current name, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. He says "I bet if we'd've still been calling it 'Shell Shock', then veterans may have gotten the attention they needed at the time." It's an issue that doesn't get talked about as much, and this could both raise awareness and help those people get the help they deserve.
A good idea from the League of Legends forums... There is hope for humanity.
but in all seriousness, it would be a great idea. The line "war changes a yordle" really gives the image of this being PTSD teemo. Riot should totally do this.
Bump ;) even if they decide not to do it for this skin, I'd love to see Riot donating to charities more in the future :)

Bump for great justice!
No. They chose to go to war. Karma says hi.
Bump: Release Day... Riot didn't respond :(
Do it, Riot!
I've been wanting the skin, but uncertain about getting it. This would easily make that decision for me. I'd buy the skin the day it came out.
Riot, if you do this, I will absolutely buy the skin
Riot isn't even going to reply, I assure.
bumping for a good karma idea
Yeah. That would be nice. God knows a lot of those old Vietnam vets would enjoy some compensation for being dropped into a jungle besides being spit on when they got home. I'm not even sure my own Grandfather has PTSD about Vietnam. He's very quiet about it, and doesn't like to talk about it, despite the fact that he's said he didn't have to kill anyone. I don't know. Sometimes the ones who have it the worse try to keep it quiet,
By doing that, they would be admitting that Omega Squad is "PTSD Teemo", and that isn't the image they want for the skin.
But I still think it's a great idea, PTSD is a serious issue. Hell if they donated a portion of the proceeds, that might be enough incentive for me to buy it.
Upvotes for awareness and a good idea
