Probably many will spit on the post only for the title, but let me go... The relationship between Teemo and Veigar is quite a particolar one: they are one the rival of the other, they had opposite life choices and life experiences but still, they are pretty much the same. Teemo is a nice friend, but also a cold hearted assassin: it' s stated in multiple times in the lore that he switches off to extermination mode while on killing mission, becoming relenteless and deadly; it is also stated that being in the league, far from his kin ( a thing that does insane things to yordles ) also made him fall back more on the "dark ways" becoming each day more cold and cruel, and only with the close comfort of friends like Annie or Tristana he can fight that.

Veigar was too not an angel before his turning: with shady trades and affairs he demostrated to be ambitious, but not evil to heart. After his turning to evil, i would still see some kind of redemption for him, longing to recover the warmth of the yordle community that he remembers from distant memories; not immediately, and maybe he has really gone too far but mending his insanity might not be impossible.

I don' t want those characters to be changed on that aspect: Teemo is the Good with a dark side and Veigar the twisted and openly evil and cruel one, and it' s good this way. But what about an eventual alternative reality, where things went different and Teemo became the evil one, and Veigar stayed in Bandle to refine his evident magic affinity in order to become the guardian of Bandle, with the same dark side of Teemo that manifests with the hungering power he domated? Teemo would refine his scouting skills for the sake of ambush and swift assassination, making him an assassin that refines his poisons and skills with cosmic dark magic ( Enthropy-empowered poisons, antimatter stealth and such) while Veigar would be the powerful elemental/natural mage, that features nature and some cultural yordle flavour on both his robes and skills.

The Veigar side would raise some problems: first of all, the lack of cultural sources for yordles: all the yordles we see are either from Piltover or are part of some particolar group like Poppy, and Tristana and Lulu are rather generic; coincidentally only Teemo features cultural yordle gear, and while it belong to a scout order we can presume it is based on yordle culture with a militar twist. The second is that his face can not remain covered in a shady dark mist, at least not so intense, and if we want a face for Veigar i guess we should wait his VU. I imagine him with the infamous evil 'staches and a goatee... I was too much lenghty, whaddayathink? ^_^
