Teemo & Vayne
Theorycraft: Teemo is Vaynes' long lost brother or they were trained in the fine arts of marksmanship by the same master / instructor of firearms / darts / crossbows / bow and arrows / sniper rifles... There are a few key points I would like to initially identity to bring more thought towards this possibility:
-
Q Blinding Dart = E Condemn ( Both can apply effects Blind/Stun )
-
W Move Quick = Night Hunter Passive ( Both grant an MS buff )
-
E Toxic Shot = W Silver Bolts ( Both are passive abilities )
-
Camouflage Passive = Ultimate Stealth on Q ( Both grant a temporary stealth form )
-
They are both insanely popular and notoriously hated when selected in the top lane and have very similar kits which can be considered to be very irritating to play against...
-
They both synergize with and gain from items that apply on hit effects and give MS boosts (
) -
Teemo was designed by a group of Riot employees, primarily 3 Rioters, all led by Riot Ezreal. Meanwhile Vayne was crafted by the senior designer Riot Volty who also made 11 other champions for all roams. These two were released separately by 2 different Rioters, and even though it was likely that they worked together it seems doubtful to myself that they would intentionally release the two with such similarities and no underlying cause in the lore...

Before the Teemo test rework was released on the PBE, about a month or two ago, it was rumored that they would change Teemo's movequick passive ability into a short range summersault like a single rotation Rammus Q or a cute baby armadillo. Although this was not the case upon his reveal, it would've been pretty astounding to see Teemo with a tumble - like W spell...
-
Are typically fun to play as, but quite a fair share of people tend to hate to play against them in most circumstances...
I don't know, I'm just pointing this out to give a more outside - the - box perspective on the gameplay and League's lore aspect of the game; what are your thoughts on this? Do they have a unique relationship like Kayn & Zed or was this completely coincidental? Separated at Birth? Could Riot build a narrative out of this? This isn't anything serious but is just something that caught my attention recently...so take it with a grain of salt...
