played a few games with teemo and blitz jg, only 1 dodge(not even on my team but the enemy team dodged) and no one verbal abused for playing teemo and blitz in
jg
i used to get flammed for playing teemo in any position, even top lane which rito said he should belong, and at least 30% of the time someone will dodge once i lock in teemo. but it seemed less common that i get flammed for picking my favourite champion.
thnx guys.
aj502 Oneill1 votesI've noticed that as well....
And Teemo isn't a bad champ by any means, especially vs a few others!
But...He sucks....Even if you play him you have to hate him. That's the rules.
The Deckowner1 votesno stfu i love teemo how dare you curse our beloved satan!
Iskoot1 votesJust last night I was playing a game where everyone called their roles and I was left with adc. But after everyone picked their champs, there was no ap on our team at all, Riven top, Zed mid, Panth Jungle, so I went Vel'Koz. Made it clear I'd be playing bot and everyone was totally ok with it.
Also, I've been taking Taric top a lot lately, in both ranked games and normals, and haven't gotten much grief. I did one game by one person, but he was a dick and was reported by my team and the other.
The Deckowner1 votesi think velkoz ap bot is a thing, i have done it and i have seen it.
Iskoot1 votesMaybe? All I know is our support was like "we need an adc" and I said, we've got plenty of adc, we need the ap, and everyone went with it.
The Deckowner1 votesazir cassiopea are also very good apc for bot lane, they are pretty much adc put onto a mage.
Zeraphicus1 votesI'm all for non meta picks, but figure out how to be successful. I personally had a series ruined by a jungle karthus that got executed 3 times before he finished his first clear.
I made a jungle swain work in a ranked game once because of a miscommunication, does that mean it is something I should do ? I could have been a huge detriment to my team.
Makior721 votesIve been seeing more rammus top lately, once he gets thronmail he actually hurts...
Played a normal the other night tho as lux bot lane (not support) and our mid accused me of trolling despite the fact that i won lane and carried till the enemy kog got farmed up and just right clicked us all to death.
The Deckowner1 votesrammus top is just another malphite, auto i dont like his aa animation for laning, it's quite akward to cs with rammus, but he definitely viable top
Tohob1 votesa season 4 story -
teammate 1: _picks 
_
teammate 2: /all GG
teammate 3: /all report
teammate 4: i'm AFKing
teammate 5: runs down 's lane under tower tower all game
enemy team: /all dw we were gunna report anyways
these days there's nothing that gets you treated that badly just for picking it. i 100% agree people are way more open to your picks
i can actually play 5v5 games as instead of constant 1v9 games
The Deckowner1 votesi honestly dont think is that bad of a champion, he just isnt used by many people and rito hates him.
Tohob1 votesi think he's actually pretty good, and honestly during league of cleavers i'm fairly certain he was secret OP due to how effective 
is on him and how little he's changed since then, but during the league of cleavers period he was considered a troll pick, and playing him in mid, the lane he does best in, was completely unthinkable by 90% of players. even an absurdly overpowered champion can't expect to do well when every game is a 1v9, so a "pretty good" champion had no hope in that situation.
The Deckowner1 votessigh, lets wait til people's mind become diversified.
SH Azykan1 votesI feel like Teemo makes more sense in the jungle. He has incredible map control post-6 that is wasted if you are in top lane, and in mid he struggles vs a lot of assassins and long ranged champs like lux. Also he worked really well with runeglaive and echoes is even better (don't even have to be near the enemy to take advantage of it) Takes a little practice for his clears to be healthy (as with most ranged champs that jg) but his lane ganks are devastating and just the fear of him being able to have shrooms anywhere is a very scary mind game for the enemy jungler.
The Deckowner1 voteshis shrooms are great for counterganking and protecting the weak lanes. his ganks are kinda bad but if u can get a flank or if ur laner had cc then it's pretty decent. i like taking attackspeed quints, mix of as and ad reds, armor yellow and mr/cdr blue. first clear might suck but abit of kiting and a good leash will help a lot. the new jg item champ actually made him much stronger in the jg, apmo, hybirdmo, tankmo, admo, whatever the team needs jg teemo can become.
(did i mention rito actually consider teemo a viable jungler by giving him hunters mechette as start item when taking smite? many other champions dont have jungle item as starting recommanded item even when they take smite.)
SH Azykan1 votesyeah his shrooms are great for the map control to give lanes like velkoz a lot more freedom to play up. He is definitely a control jungler more than a gank focused one.
I take AS reds, flat armor yellows, flat AP glyphs and AP quints. I also start talisman instead of machete, with teemo's e and kiting, I feel like it is far more efficient to clear with (alternate attack targets)
i also don't get a leash since I only play it with a premade, and we always do a level 1 cheese play with it (usually paired with a blitz). So everyone goes to their lanes before I actually start my jungle clear.
The Deckowner1 votesi feel like abit more AS early game will be better tho, cause i am not very good at kiting extra AS helps with it.
TwinkiePro1 votesI've done blitz jg AD. His early game is rough, but his ganks can be brutal. You basically roam and cover lanes, occasionally farming the jg when you need to, as you lack damage and tankiness to keep it. I tend to rush warrior. triforce, then ravenouse hydra. Combined with your E which doubles your AD, plus spellblade proc, you can slam for easily 700 damage. With high ratios on all your abilities as well and stupid good CC, bursting down people is oddly satisfying.
The Deckowner1 voteswhat i dont like about blitz jg is i go into a lane for a gank, missed a hook(which is easily dodgeable and mistakes were made) and my team immediately stopped trusting me, they think if i missed one of my hooks i am a worthless useless needless troll.
TwinkiePro1 votesHappens, you gotta bait it out. Sit in bush, W in and bum rush, using your E to scare. Try not to go for hooks unless its from a spot they cant see you. If they flash, its a win, if they don't, knock em up, aa, pull, and ult if you have it. Let your mid take over from there and just peel.
The Deckowner1 votesthe thing is it isnt always possible to just run up and knock people up, both hook and e punch need u to be unseen by the enemy, otherwise it's easily avoidable, anyone with anu escape/cc can out run blitz.
(i really hate the w nerf)
