I laughed pretty hard.

Dominating Bots takes much skillzors.

But seriously, Teemo is fun, but he doesn't perform any role well. He is best described as a 'counter pick' but this only works if your opponent is really really bad.

Low damage, weak escape, almost useless passive and very little in the way of team fight changing skills added to natural squishiness means he will never be as good as other champions and in an wqually skilled players hands.

You have already stated that your argument is invalid in terms of this thread's premise. This is a thread talking about the viability of Teemo, something you have stated you care NOTHING about.

1 Nuke on a minimum 6 second cd does not a mage make. Low scaling on mushroom and toxic shot means too little damage to be viable in the role you claim you dominate with him in. The can only mean, your opponents are bad or you were carried, or the enemy team failed to stack any MR and ignored you because they saw "AP TEEMO' lols and focused the serious members of your team first.

Sad truth. I was once in a pretty high elo level, but I was losing so much when I bought teemo (even after I got used to him) that people constantly bm'ed me to hell and back and a few said to stop feeding. Like really, how can I not have my passive global taunt not activate?

I eventually gave up after a week and now just threw runes and masteries out the window so that I'd eventually get to low enough elo that I could actually have some real fun. Who would have thought, I could actually have fun with this champ?! And it only cost me several months of blood and sweat down the drain.

I'd lol if it weren't so true.

Actually I can perfectly imagine teemo being completely oblivious to how up he really is in this naive cute manner.

Ironically, he's actually a cold killer in lore, only when out of the arena is he a naive cute friend to all.

Teemo : Duhduh dee duh dah duh dee duh duh dah dee dee duh!
Tristana : Teemo stop trying to make news show theme music by humming through your blow pipe!
Badger Teemo : Yeah Teemo! It's so annoying! Stupid annoying Teemo, someone nerf the li...
Teemo : TONIGHT on Teemo tonight! We receive alarming reports that an amateur comedic farce does not clearly abide by the official Riot "lore" fiction for the characters it uses!
Tristana : Oh the terror...
Badger Teemo : Gasp and dammnation! What scurrilous disrespectful person could possibly write such a thing!
Teemo : Worse still who could possibly enjoy such a farce when it CLEARLY doesn't hold to cannon character descriptions that are only read or cared about by a tiny minority of players who suffer from what can only be described as a freakish obsession with official game fiction and a complete inability to distinguish incredibly second rate fluff page filler text dross from actual entertainment.
Badger Teemo : Indeed Teemo! Who could possibly enjoy a story unless it was official game background fluff text written by some semi-competent hack who has been told to try and take seriously and actually somehow explain a universe of completely nonsensical character's designed with absolutely NO thought to any form of coherent story line or even a basic consistent graphical theme?
Tristana : For the answer to that question we turn to SCIENCE TEEMO!
Teemo : Wait I thought we fired tha...
Hiemerdinger : Why thank you Smurfette Teemo, and I calculate a 75% chance that I don't give a dam.
Hiemerdinger : Earlier today I decided to make a very quick survey. It seems "Teemo Tonight" has had over 15,000 views and by the only means we have of rating it's popularity a truely earth shaking over 80 likes on it's opening post!
Badger Teemo : It's because it's hosted by an OP rodent who rules over LoL, none dare oppose him, every new champion added to the game is forced to come in here and upvote him!
Hiemerdinger : Seeking out a dark and kind of disturbingly sticky and funny smelling realm where in those people who care about official riot character back story fiction reside I then explored the official fan fiction forum.
Tristana : My condolences.
Hiemerdinger : *sob* I feel so dirty, I just want to shower and shower, I mean those threads, about Annie... or even being reminded she exists as distasteful as she is...
Teemo : She is a disturbed individual, she offers everyone she meets a look at her bare "tibbers", at that age? You would think they wouldn't let a young girl who is so obviously mentally disturbed talk like that into the game, what sort of hideous demographic are they even going after with her?
Hiemerdinger : Anyway, the point is I had a quick look, and checked the bigger successful looking threads on the front page. The biggest looking thread racked in at 45,000+ views! ... and only 27 upvotes. And was about... uuuuugh... Annie.
Badger Teemo : Say not her name again lest you summon her!
Hiemerdinger : Threads racking in similar view counts ranging from 15,000 to 20,000 had upvotes ranging from 6 to 22.
Tristana : Oooh what got a 22?
Hiemerdinger : Some sort of thread about Lux and Ezreal. I wasn't going to READ the thing, I mean it was about Lux AND Ezreal one way... or possibly the other way? it was going to be gay porn.
Teemo : Lux AND Ezreal ? How can they tell who is who?
Lux AND Ezreal : HEY!
Hiemerdinger : Anyway... though this clearly isn't high quality scientific proof and the fan fiction forum is hardly a perfect champion of "properly" respecting very very serious oh so important "Official Cannon Champion Lore", there IS no perfect champion, we are as popular as all heck to the limited degree anyone is in this highly stupid field and I get say, neener neener neener, ha ha, Teemo Tonight has more interesting characters than the official junk or related fan fiction junk no one who has ever seen a real book has bothered to read and screw you Lux, Ezreal AND Annie!
Annie : Did I hear my name? Oh hi everyone! Have you seen my bare Ti...
Everyone : YES! NOW GO AWAY! AND STOP SAYING THAT! FOREVER!
...
Teemo : Is she gone?
Tristana : Yes you can stop holding your breath and pretending to be invisible. But I think she took Science Teemo, may god grant him a quick and merciful death...
Badger Teemo : Phew. I tell you one thing though.
Tristana : What?
Badger Teemo : At least SHE holds true to her incredibly important dark and grim dark serious double important back story fluff!
Teemo : Unlike some OP people I could name!
Tristana : ... I hate you guys...

lolol needs bandage teemo

I wrote the law suit teemo thread. Man I thought min was long you sent it flying out of the park. I should continue mine with more parts. Gj. Teemo still needs more buffs and the extra 100 hp was nice but not great. The shroom animation cdr has saved me a few times but he's still broke.

Tip to all recon teemo skin will reduce global taunt by at least 50% or more it's cheap so get that one first.
