He's actually not useless, but he's not a top pick or anything for a team. He's a counter pick to a lot of melees who regular the top lane and can transition into countering the enemy AD carry in a teamfight with his blind. The thing with teemo is that he brings a lot of unique utility to a team fight instead of just raw tankiness, crowd control, or damage. He is item reliant on doing damage unlike a couple other top laners due to his lack of base damages (2 skills that don't necessarily deal damage in a fight) and lack of steroids and he's too squishy/short ranged to go a standard AD carry build so he won't stack up damage-wise to other ranged auto attackers. especially late-game, but he will always do well in a fight if he uses his Q wisely and shrooms appropriately beforehand to either cut off possible escape paths or make the enemy team walk through a couple to get to his team.
