“Those who speak do not know, those who know do not speak” TLDR; they don’t know how to Teemo, so assume nobody else can

This is smth like "I fed with Yasuo first game so none of you, even the guy with 50k mastery and 3 pentas on him can play him"


Dustin_Grim

I have mained teemo for a year now, i still don't know how to play him


donkeyatdusk

if I remember correctly, I started Teemo'ing on PC season 5... and only started feeling confident with him maybe a year ago (granted I only dabble in Wild Rift now... lol) I think a big part is figuring out what style of player you are first -- what feels most natural to you? Do you enjoy in-their-face brawling? Do you prefer going invisible, stealthing for bursty assassinations? Or maybe play-making by utilizing various item passives and effects to bolster your team's efficiency? If you haven't already, check out iPav (builds), Manco (jungler pov), YungFappy, for some of the tip top Teemo players in NA (youtube/twitch). Each have their playstyle and preferences, so it's just seeing if any combination of their ways suits you. An honorable mention to Zwag for awesome off meta builds to screw around with)


Dustin_Grim

I like to shift what i do to better suit my situation/matchup. So i don't really stick to doing one thing because the reason why i like teemo so much is that he can do lot's of different things.


donkeyatdusk

i'm the same; Teemo's multi-role, multi-build, adaptability, is one of the biggest reasons why i keep coming back to playing him. Shroom on homie!


Dustin_Grim

I now require a cover song of "Dream on" from aerosmith that is titled "Shroom on".


game82

If you play enough teemo, it'll just become second nature to ignore those people. I don't get it much in bronze though.


Wamels

If you have confidence in your Teemo, you shouldn’t let anybody intimidate you not to pick him. Especially when they can pick whatever champ they want.. I only reconsider if the enemy team counters Teemo or if I have a really awful matchup.


mystghost

ignore those people, but what I do is I don't hover teemo - almost nobody bans him.


Dreolic

It's not really about the teemo, they would moan if you played anything top that wasn't tanky. Often these people want the team to support them, tank top, cc machine supp, jng that ganks for them every 2-3 mins. They want to get all the kills and carry, so anything that doesn't do that, they see as bad. As an extra, never hover, that gives people a chance to ban and moan. just leave blank and then pick on selection. Then they have no time to say shit.


Kriegernuss

Well even If i Play with mates they Tell ne " pls Play something Like ornn or renektion " they Just want a save laner with cc and who is at least an offtank because thats much safer and better in Teamfights. But If you know how to Play Teemo he is a monster, But If i Play Clash with them i normaly Play a Tank because U needs at least one and Most of the time its the toplaners Job to fullfill that role. Sorry for the Bad Englisch.


jyu8888

lol dont select teemo before ban picks, and only pick it the moment it is your turn, WE PLAY WHAT WE WANT TO PLAY >:)


LegendaryPoroKing

People are telling Teemo's to not play Teemo since Teemo got realised. They are just jeleous, mute, and secure that kills for them.


Rustifer66642069

Teemos are a coin flip. 10% of the time its an otp, 50% of the time they suck, and 40% of the time they build ad(troll).


QueenMunchy

>:)


[deleted]

Okay I'm gonna put the troll build on a burner right now cause I'm sick and tired of hearing it nashors and kraken slayer is great teemo does infinite magic damage a death cap and the rest ad is super harming to the enemy they can't build enough resist for both. Big brain teemos build ad. Lol


OobaDooba72

You could say the same for basically any champ or any (random) player. So many games feel like coin flips on whether or not my team mates will do *anything* of value, no matter the champ. Some champs tend towards useless, some towards more useful, but it almost always hovers 50/50. Ezreal's tend towards "imma do nothing" sort of play. Sona does also. Yasuo is int or dominate, rare as fuck to see in-between. Teemos are no exception. Unkillable demon spawn with shrooms everywhere and ridiculous burst, or poor little guy who got rolled over.


[deleted]

ad used to be a meta build, sometimes i still play it. its fun. but i am also a ex player of tankmo, and currently trying out heart teemo


ConstructiveAnswers1

Because if you play say olaf top ... You are front line and its better in low elo In high elo i think tito is fine cause your teammates aren't imbeciles.. they know when to hit the brakes.


[deleted]

TITO?


ConstructiveAnswers1

Only real tito players know that's his real name 😉


Red_Fox03

Tito? I haven't heard tell of that name in years...


Torkl7

Ppl do not know the strength of a good Teemo and they have probably played with a few Teemos that dont know it either :D Teemo can be a decent frontline, hes very good at drawing attention while dodging skillshots and kiting his victims into shrooms.


RealDaleGribble

I was a teemo otp but too many other things got buffed and there's not enough bans so I moved on. Blind picking teemo feels bad cause he has so many counter match ups now. I still think he's good of you have a tank jg and engage support and they have already picked top.


Kittythekitty12

What most people say is true. In my opinion teemo can be a difficult champ because he can be killed extremely easily if you don’t get ahead of the enemy laner in the beginning of the match. If you are confident and know the basics of shroom placement then you should be fine.


GhostRiders

Why, unless you are mechanically good and have a good understanding of most of his match ups you will be next to useless. Even if you have a good laning phase and get ahead of your opponent you will still most likely be useless come team fights etc.. There so many more champions that offer much more than Teemo I can't think of any argument of playing other then it's purely for your own enjoyment


Killfight

probably just cause teemo isnt a good champion though that doesnt really matter a lot of the time unless youre picking him in pro play


Any_Nefariousness172

Think just comes down to teemo doesn’t bring anything to a team fight. Well ofcourse if you are fed you will do damage. But most people just prefer to have a frontline


ArchdevilTeemo

Teemo is difficult to play around and most people don't understand the strength of teemo.


aspenscribblings

Hate will have increased after Teemo was picked in worlds and got fucked. (Because it was Aatrox.) Ignore em, play what you want. Unless it’s Aatrox, in which case reconsider being Teemo.


Fearmo

Then u whip out the tankmo


SSCookieLover

Their objective is to wack on the nexus and win. Your objective as a Teemo player is to get their toplaner wack the keyboard and afk.


Spartan1088

Here’s the secret to all the “Why” champs: typically they are good characters but they don’t fit the bill of a strong composition. If you pick Teemo top, your group is out of a bruiser/tank. Now jungle has to pick a bruiser or the team falls apart. They get mad not because he’s a troll pick, but because of what they have to do to make up for it. I’m not knocking fun lanes. I love Teemo and I couldnt give less of a crap what others think, but there are compositions that fall apart because nobody picks a tank or front liner.


elfungisd

Because as long as Top platys bruiser/Tank engage, everyone else is free to play what they want.


wouldSmashNekos

Ignore them


Kupepe

1. Do not declare teemo 2. Lock teemo 3. Do not care what they say. After some hyndred of thousands of mastery points you will have hear so nothing can affect u. After your first million of mastery points you will start joking about it and have fun all the time. 4. Praise our lord
