    Sure, most Teemos turn out hilariously useless, but I've also played with/against some really mean Teemos. AP Teemo is ridiculous against disorganized opponents. Tanky AD Teemo is also bonkers in the right team comps (or should I say Team-o comps?).

    And to be fair, I've seen just as many bad Shacos as bad Teemos. Both are a little trickly to play correctly.

    Whenever I see an AP shaco I always expect to see, "I AM THE BOX GHOST!!" in chat like my one friend who plays him.

    The problem with AP Shaco is if you keep an eye on him and don't walk into his nests of boxes, you can pretty much ignore him. Against less coordinated teams, though, he is pretty darn terrifying.

    Oh he's never really been a problem, but I always think AP Shaco is funny no matter what team he's on.

    He's a really strong top laner against melee champions.

    Sure, he isn't amazing in teamfights, so don't teamfight. Teleport/Flash, solo top, mushroom kingdom, harass and zone your enemy, shove their tower and only tp to fights when you have to.

    Teemo is a good hero, especially in solo queue.

    Teemo (Tanky AD Teemo) does just fine in team fights in the right comps. He was on the winning team at Dreamhack a couple of times. Kind of a niche champion, but he gets the job done when he's used right.

    Also, teamfights will always happen, or you're going to be giving away towers/dragons/baron for free. And if you don't join in, the other team will gladly engage on a 5v4.

    You take teleport, you take top tower. There are ways to avoid teamfights. Heroes with low teamfight presence and high laning power are okay because if you get a kill in lane, the fact that you have low teamfight presence is okay because your opponent has less farm.

    Teemo isn't the BEST hero out there, The Rain Man hasn't played him in a tournament since Dreamhack (I'm not sure why, I'm sure there is a reason), but he's still a fine hero, ESPECIALLY, in solo queue, where everything works if you know what you're doing.

    I'll give you that. Eventually, you will have to engage in teamfights. But when played as you described and by avoiding early teamfights, you will be much better farmed thus able to contribute significantly to later teamfights.

    I'll grant, Teemo doesn't have to suck, even if everyone at my level wants to play him as such. Still doesn't annoy me as much as Shaco, currently. (Shaco has a movable stealth over Teemo's Camo, Boxes, and the clone of obnoxiousness. Even if what he does is ineffective, it remains annoying...)

    Teemo is one of the best characters in the game because he has such wonderful skins.

    (actually it's because he can say "nnnnope" to the AD carry for three seconds, split pushes like nobody's business, mushrooms, mushrooms everywhere [free wards = less money wasted on lameo wards = more money for WIT'S END STACKING {or for cheapskate to win if you're more sensible than Wit's End Stacking}] and finally he has poison, which opens a whole host of opportunities for poisson/poison French Restaurant puns)

    Is it just me, or does Graves enter god mode upon purchasing a second Doran's blade?

    I love the champ, but I've only really had the opportunity to play him four times in actual games. In two of them, it was a pretty average laning experience, back and forth, eventually winning. In another two, we were definitely losing the lane until I went back and purchased a second Doran's blade, at which point somehow our opponents were doing no damage in their efforts to harass me and I was murdering them with impunity.

    Fastest Carry Build ever? Perhaps.

    Buckshot's AD ratio is kind of awesome. 0.8 on each pellet, yes, but if you clip an enemy with two or three at close range (right before you Quick Draw away) it turns into a 1.36 AD ratio. Oh, and it has pretty good base damage as well.

    I can't decide if Astronaut Teemo or Gentleman Cho'gath is the best skin in the game. Cottontail Teemo is also definitely in the top ten.

    As an Asian-American, Lion Dance Kog'Maw will always have a soft spot in my heart.

    Amumu has some of the best skins in the game. Little Knight Amumu's my favorite.

    The skin that saddens me the most is Reverse Annie. Such a great skin idea, not as cute as I thought it would be :(

    I've always been partial to Surgeon Shen and Kennen, M.D. myself. Then again... knowing my background...

    Besides, Surgeon Shen teleporting onto and saving a teammate always makes me chuckle. Something about medical scrubs is just too funny on a ninja.

    Guys, the best skin is Feral Warwick.

    Knight Amumu is pretty cool to though.

    All this talk about teemo makes me want to play him. Dammit.

    I'm an unintentionally cheap guy: I only like the original art of Malzahar and Skarner (although, I do like the idea of armored voidlings in his overlord skin ). I also like Singed's original skin more than the others (though I do like the hair on Alchemist Singed or whatever it's called), and I liked Xerath's Runebork skin back when it had blue particles.
    I've started streaming again.


    78% of DM's started their first campaign in a tavern. If you're one of the 22% that didn't, copy and paste this into your signature.

    I started my first campaign outside of an abandoned mine, just as soon as a meteor storm from the moon hits.

    I agree Gentleman Cho is probably the best skin currently out there. Riot Singed is very cool too in my book. As is Commando Jarvan. It's M. Bison by way of Unreal Tournament.

    In other news, I played a normal game and carried the game! Annie, 5/1/3, killed who knows how many turrets, had friendly conversation with the Morgana I obliterated repeatedly, and caused a surrender at 25 mins with 7 towers down to none.
