It really pisses me off when people are just like "hurr why yu no buy oracles easymode kill temo". In 3v3, dropping 400 gold to counter ONE of the enemies is difficult, and can put you behind as far as items go. And then, you have to buy another one if you die, or after 4 minutes. "Hurr pink ward hurrrr" THERES NO WARDS IN 3'S. And suggesting a champion like shen, what good does that do me in blind pick? Just instalock shen every match so on the off chance that I fight a teemo, I can survive and teach him a lesson? It should be safe to play nearly (im talking champions that dont get instagibbed) any champion in 3's without fear of hitting 3 shrooms and dying. Every game against a teemo, he rushes Blackfire Torch, and just shrooms our jungle. I get Hextech Sweeper or Grez's when I can, but I shouldnt have to spend 1500+ gold just to not die from walking. Im sure somebody understands. Go through the bush near your turret, Shroom. 5 steps in any direction, now youre at half hp. If any enemies are nearby, youre dead. Teemo may not be OP alone (or when pink wards are available), but 400 gold for true sight in your line of sight isnt enough to counter him. Teemo sees you have Oracles, so he puts shrooms at the very edge of the bush. Then you still get hurt, he kills you, no more oracles. tl;dr my butt hurts from the poison. Teemo shouldnt be nerfed (cause he doesnt really have much teamfight potential, and playing him like a shroom-layer is the most effective), but there should be at least low duration pink wards, like 2 minutes, maybe 1.5 minutes.
