Recon Teemo in Bad Taste?

Dear Riot:

I really like the Recon Teemo skin, but his voice script is a bit too close to what actual vietnam vets with real mental problems actually sound like. I've found I can't play with the skin because I feel like it's mocking tragic family members who really shouldn't be made fun of. I'm not sure if I'm being too sensitive about this, but I thought I'd put it out there. This was going to be my favorite skin and I'm stuck using astronaut teemo instead!

Could you maybe consider rescripting to avoid poking fun at soldiers with PTSD?

Try thinking of it not as a joke, but as an ode to them.

I do understand where you are coming from though.
