Also....for Teemo's passive "standing still and get stealthed" ability, what can it be used for? In one of the games I played, I saw my Teemo teammate standing still (stealthed) in the middle, and an enemy Sivir - with 20% HP left - close by farming minions. Then he ambushes and pretty much finishes her off. That was a bit entertaining, but is there other uses for that passive?
Best use for his passive is waiting to gank someone. For example, if you see a Yi going by or blowing up a mushroom near top, and heading towards you. If you sit still you can probably make his gank attempt into another stack on your mejai's. Of course it's not usually that easy, but any time you're trying to team fight, baroning, etc. if you wait a few seconds for stealth, the bonus is quite useful.
Also, to expand on what Kaj was saying as far as Mushroom placement, there's a couple of options. If you want view of an interesection without putting it directly in the center, choose the edge that has the least chance of being run along. For example, the area of brush near bot tower on blue. It's a nice intersection, and almost everyone runs through the middle of it. The second most common way to run through is the right side. So using that knowledge, you put it on the left part, or the top part, with the left part being slightly less common than the top usually. That way you can still see someone in the brush, still use it to escape a gank attempt, but it remains longer to provide you vision. Another example is the brush near the middle towers on top and bottom lane. Putting a mushroom in there will usually remain undiscovered unless you're attacking said middle tower. So you can use it to get a little bit of vision on the lane without putting it out in the open for oracle's to see. Another example is one of the buffs, Rather than place it in the brush, sometimes it's better to place it on the opposite corner. Since many times people hug brush when doing them, this will still give you vision without it blowing up. Of course I prefer to blow them up usually, but there are times where you want to surprise them unexpectedly and just want vision. AP Teemo is really one of the best map controllers there is, with TF being a close second, and the two of them together shredding most enemy teams if they're good.
