Quote:Hey guys,

Here are the currently slated Teemo changes;

Noxious Trap
Added new visible reload timer, showing time until next trap is ready.
Mushroom reload time increased to 35/31/27 from 30/26/22
Damage reduced to 200/400/600 from 250/475/700
Fixed a bug that calculated the AP coefficient lower than intended
Move Quick
Cooldown increased to 22 seconds from 13


These changes are pretty much targeted at high elo play, where coordinated split-push Teemo is too good at split-pushing without risk. Other play levels will likely find Teemo pretty similar to his live status now.

The AP coefficient bug fix is actually about a .2 AP ratio buff on him. This evens out the lower base damage on mushrooms.

Increase on Mushroom Reload time is so that his mushrooms are a little less carpet-bomb effect, which is cornering off entire quadrants of the map as inaccessible by the enemy team while split pushing. Move Quick is mainly to stop chaining it multiple times in single chases. We thought it was better to limit the cooldown and total mobility rather than the in-combat use, which is one of the ways Teemo can survive real fights.

We don't forsee more being done to Teemo than this, as it should retain his combat ability while let him remain effective at map control and split-pushing (just not quite -as- effective).

Also, FREAKING WRIGGLES! The Lifesteal on that thing is too beast, kinda funny they're buffing that portion of the item. I got 2-3 kills due to the lifesteal on it, lets me tank minions like a boss when taking on enemy champs.

 Another epic game

 I got fed for nothing >_>

Was 9-0-0 mid-game (hella fed, had quite a few Feast kills), but we still lost. What was a great Cho'Gath game for me turns into a slump. >_>

KajitiSouls Wrote:Grez is the red buff lizard in TT iirc.

KajitiSouls Wrote:Because the lifesteal currently works off of the 500 bonus damage done to minions. That's just freakin' crazy if all you do is fight minions and jungle creeps all day.

The nerfs to Wriggles will disallow that kind of RNG lifesteal.

Dark Link Wrote:Yeah, I know the original nerfs to it is to make junglers less stupid good while still keeping its design for laners. Of course I've only been using it for a few games now, so I'm still not used to how good it actually is for Xin and other laners.
