Stop letting Teemo kill you.

Many people don't seem to understand the impact their gameplay has on the League of Legends community. There are reasons why certain champs are picked, banned, or forgotten. For reference, look at the screenshot below.

Take Ziggs for example. If I was such a great Brand player, I wouldn't have finished last season in silver. However, in the game I screencapped below I was able to kill Ziggs with three spells as soon as he walked into lane. Any three spells. E hits, Q might hit, aim the W right, and if q didn't hit just throw R. And there's nothing Ziggs can do about it. That's why no one plays Ziggs. Unless absolutely no one tries to hit him, he's useless outside of seiges, and Brand has more seige power than him anyway.

Next look at Teemo. You can't tell from the scoreboard, but he instalocked Teemo without even bothering to call a role. He then spent the first three minutes of the game sitting next to the enemy red, the next seven minutes sitting in mid with me, and the next 20 minutes wandering around laying shrooms and ksing. And he got almost the same score as me. You realize what that means, right? He now thinks Teemo is a good champion, and will continue to play him as often as possible in whatever role he wants. If his "sit around for half the game and do nothing" strategy hadn't worked, there'd be no problem. This is true for every single Teemo game ever.

The point I'm trying to make is simple: stop feeding Teemos. His kit is simpler to outplay as any champ on the entire roster: when he blinds you, use something other than auto attacks. When you're at low health, don't walk, even if there's an enemy champ hitting you, so that Teemo doesn't get kills. And please, just build a hexdrinker or something. But whatever you do, don't give Teemos kills. It really is that simple.
