teemo really isn't very scary at all if his lane is controlled early game, which isn't terribly difficult to do with a strong burst long range caster, which is a normal mid pick, or with a non-auto dependent ad caster, of which there are many and is also a strong pick. he's super squishy, gets blown up early and late game with his low health, his mov speed passive is there because he has low innate mov speed and you don't even scale up that move until you have your auto dmg maxed. on that note, his dart doesn't do anything until you have a fair chunk of ap and has a pretty short range as far as an auto-lock. shrooms got a nerf recently, and if that isn't enough for you, why not just buy oracle's elixir? I agree with the many posts below me, teemo is just mushrooms late game which can be countered with 250g, and a blind that has to put him in range of all the assassins that can rip his face off. I just played Leona supp and I killed a teemo with his full build by myself with a locket. he can't take ccs and he can only really trade well with adcs, and in SR an adc should never just be by himself.
