"He's as supportive as Zilean with his 2 instant aoe bombs and no heals, cc's or whasoever. Zilean can slow and speed up, so does teemo."

Ok, so a couple of things. First, Zilean's lost a lot of popularity as a duo bot support buddy, if you see him in games, he's mostly going to counter a solo lane enemy with a weak early game to prevent them from farming. Zilean's not the best comparison.

Second, Teemo's slow requires someone to walk on it. It serves its purpose better as a zoning tool if he goes duo bot. Enemies will simply avoid bushes and their minions will proc it's explosion in lane. If the enemy is competent, they won't be slowed often, but their pathing is restrictive. Meanwhile, Zilean can slow an enemy champion directly OR speed up his carry to help them pursue or escape.

Third, Chrono Shift. You think teemo can compete with giving your carry a 1Up?
