wow, love to see people talk this vocally about someone thinking Teemo is OP. Imho, he's toxic. No not the skill toxic, but toxic for the game. The reason why he seems op is because he makes laning phase stupid with shrooms and his hit and run. People can say that they can just gap close to him, but he does output quite a bit of damage and the blind is hurtful to duelists.

Saying that you have to buy oracles or pink ward means paying extra money to stop his annoyance in a particular area. That isn't to stop people from ganks or anything; just to get rid of his shrooms. He only expended mana for that, and it's not the only that he has to escape/duel.

The annoying thing is that anyone with melee with even a semblance of auto attacking in their kit is greatly hurt by this guy. Maybe Riven can kill him, but what about other melee tops?

This isn't to say that he's OP. This is to say that his kit is f***ing annoying and should be changed to allow better counterplay than "have jungler gank for me at top" if you play as a melee character.
