The ONE thing that always peeved me about Teemo, is the lack of a gold reward for killing his mushrooms. Why are you NOT rewarded by going the extra mile just to get rid of the annoying things. Everything else in the game that you can kill gives you gold, why the heck do the mushrooms not? That is the only "nerf" I would put forth.

You could argue that "they are traps so you shouldn't", well they are targetable unlike Cait's traps, and do more damage than Heimer's Turrets while being invisible. They are on a "Whole. Nother. Level" compared to every other minion/trap in the game.
