A question Teemo's age & Yordles' aging in general

With the arrival of OS Teemo,there's been something on my mind. How old is Teemo?

This also got me thinking how do Yordles in general age. In comparison,is Yordle aging the same as,an accelerated version or decelerated version of human aging?Is it like 1 Yordle year = 5 human years or is it 5 Yordle = 1 human year or any sort of variation?Or is it the same?Which also brings up the question of the average lifespan for a Yordle.

I'm curious to get a better idea of it so I can guess the age range of Yordles like Tristana Veigar Kennen

I like to think they are Immortal, and veigar has been alive for thousands of years. Also Teemo was in Vietnam.

Veigar must have been at least a young adult or yordle equivalent, as he was formally employed by a merchant organization prior to his incarceration.

Azir stumps me...how old is he? Do you count from his birthday? His rebirth-day? Do you count the years he was dead? Do you add the years he was alive the first time to however long he has been alive now?

I get the feeling that most champions in League are in their early 20s-30s, with only a few exceptions.

At this point and time, seemingly same as human life spans. Riot never really stated the average life span of a Yordle, they arent your typical animal though.

The older they are the cuter they get. Hence Gnar being the most adorable.

Yordles are immortal 'aspect' type spirits while they have a 'true form' sort of, everyone perceives them as whatever that individuals 'belief'(assumption/prejudice/expectation) about what someone who embodies that aspect would look like.

Onto their age, using runtera's callender for 1 year (remember 'time' is an abstract concept measuring the numerical order of change, think '1 season' '1 year (1 repetition of the cycle of an orbit around the sun or 4 'seasons'), Teemo is likely in his 300s, Lulu Dissapeared '700 years ago' and some yordles remember her, prior to her lore update poppy was at least in her 300s as well.

For all creatures, maturity comes once you've acquired a certain number (different for each individual but the varience is fairly small) of certain types of key experiences, you can be 'mature' only once you've had the nessicary experiences, this is part of why Lulu is so immature despite eclipsing most yordles in being 'old' (tho I can't tell you how many 60-90s I've met with the maturity level of a tantrum throwing toddler, they never encountered any key growth experiences 'yet').

Trist and Teemo POPPY Heimer are all Veterans tho trust was once mentioned as being younger than teemo, she could be 25, 140, 240, 290 etc.

Such timeless creatures though it's fairly unimportant to assign arbitrary labels to them as they are mostly Homeostatic creatures, once they mature their 'aspect' they stay relatively stable (exceptions abound when isolated from others though). This kind of points to them being more bee/hive like and once separated they take on entirely different growth forms from standard yordles (just compare a domesticated animal, like a human, to a wild or feral counterpart).

All this stuff is just arbritary labeling and surprisingly isn't correlated with biological process or cyclical repetitions (indeed maturity is the anthesis of cycles and repetition as it's the BREAKING of cycles, habits and repitions in favor of new experiences and deep changes in somethings nature, and tho 'constantly looking at things with fresh/new perspective' SEEMS like a repetitious cycle it is not one (it really does seem like one though, but it's one of those 'can't be related to other things, because it is the only thing like itself' phenomena.).

Well apparently this kid: Gnar is about 10,000 years old. But being frozen aside hes technically, 4... I remember a rioter or somebody said that Gnar's non-frozen time age was practically the equivalent of Annie being 8.

I'd say Teemo is youngish. Around 23-27 years olds(human equivalent)

I think aging in Yordles is similar to humans but they grow and mature far quicker. Gnar is hardly a kid and he's about the same size as most yordles so they obviously grow fast at least, but after that I guess how they mature would be based on upbringing?

Rito thinks people are too stupid to even know how old anyone is.

Even though that would be interesting if yordles aged a lot more slowly than humans do, that would hopefully explain why yordles are seen as "adults playing as children".
