So the NA forums have a number of Teemo threads going, and there are some interesting comments from the designers. They claim that dissatisfaction with the remake is primarily coming from mid-Elo.

In upper Elo, teams are coordinating around Teemo's map control to selectively engage or push. The emphasis is on mobility and generally avoiding full scale team fights. Remake is a plus.

In lower Elo, team coordination is bad but Teemo typically does well in 1v1 fights. Remake is neither plus nor minus.

In mid Elo, players know enough to stay together but don't coordinate alternative strategies well. Team fights are predominant, and Teemo is an easy target and a poor contributor. Remake is a minus.

So the interesting dilemma is that buffs for mid Elo could make him OP for both lower and upper Elo.
