Thanks you Ritos for another Teemo skin (no sarcasm, I would buy every Teemo skin if he had thousand of them). But I have a concern. You generally releasing his skins with some "silly" concept. All of his skins except 1 (2 with astro) are all "costumes" skins. Like he is not changing his backstory or became HAMSTER FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION. But he literally just wears the costume of something cute/fun and "pretend" to be what he is wearing.

  • Beemo (please remove his eyelashes on his ingame texture?)

  • Astro

  • Panda

  • Cotton Tail

  • Little Devil (?) - well I love this skin it suits him well. And he is actually a little devil... but still this skin is silly. Although I'm playing it constantly and don't want to brag against it.

  • Super T

Other skins are recolors.

The only one skin that changes his character completely is Omega (I hate this skin cause I hate drama, edgy, military stuff). But Skin is most awesome visually (animations, new bones, new model, all motion is so cool... just theme isn't really fit the his character. It's a bit too overdramatic for my taste).

So with all this "Teemo's skins must be costume" conspiracy I'm afraid that you will never release something really cool for him (like Pulsefire or Super Galaxy). Poppy and Tristana all have cool skins. Fizz get few also. Lulu too has few awesome changing her backstory. SO it's not hard to make "cool" skins for cute character. And I hope you will release same quality skin as Omega. Just in another not edgy not military skin for Teemo.

Ah. yes. Also. Could you please stop putting stuff on his back (like this bumblebutt) where his old backpack was on regular skins? He is "trashy/heavy" and his silhouette is unreadable enough to make him so more heavier with all additional unnecessary details. Super T, Devil and Astro Teemo are perfect cause they all have nothing on his back (cape isn't heavy on Super T)

I can get behind this.

In the German language, in fact, there is a word called 'Ausartung', meaning something gets very much out of control and deviates away from its original intended purpose, so that it basically becomes a monstrous overexaggeration (either positive or negative), and when it comes to positive Ausartung, then generally all of the original sweetness and value gets trampled on by trying to make it "too much of a good thing" or trying to make it so ridiculously cute and ridiculously endearing that it ends up imploding and actually becoming slightly or massively disgusting - like a disgustingly sweet cupcake.

But that just means that it can easily experience the balancing effect again, an equalisation effect, by just introducing some natural negatives into it again. This then neutralises the "too excessive sweetness", and is like adding in just a little bit of salt to an overly sweet dessert so that the sweetness no longer is so disgustingly oversweet.
