Well, Teemo technically is a meta break, and can lose you the game because of that just by picking him. You trade in an offtank/tank for a squishy, versatile champ. This makes your team prone to AoE, as those can get all your damage dealers down. Additionally to that, the 1 remaining tank has a hard time if you get to the lategame or the enemy gets ahead - if he goes into the enemy team alone, he'll melt before your eyes before he is even capable of doing something.

In order to prevent a punishment for the meta break, you need to know as Teemo: How to take advantage of objectives, which routes to shroom, how to stay solo in the lane and even extend into dangerous deeps and how to play in teamfights.

It's not that Teemo is a bad pick, it's just that you need a way higher skill compared to cheap meta picks like Renekton.
