Ok, so I'm on a losing streak in solo ranked (was mid 1300 now high 1100 :/), and every game someone on my team picks a teemo. I don't understand the logic behind this, they're normally the last player to pick and we already have our ranged AD/AP. Every time I get a teemo on my team I pretty much know its going to be a loss. My question to you is, why in the world would someone pick teemo in ranked? He has nothing to offer late game compared to every other champion out there!

TL;DR: Why do people pick teemo in ranked?

depends on the composition of your team really

ad/as teemo with the new move quick is a very good and safe damage dealer, and is very good at 1 man ganking

ap teemo has strong map awareness, and good single target nukes, but lategame against any good team oracles shuts down 75% of your damage

hybrid teemo (madreds / rageblade / survive items) lets you do strong damage with good harass with your spells

i've had some first pick teemos at 1700 elo rape face with AD/AS builds.

i suppose in your situation it's bad because he's last pick or near last pick, and you already have your team setup, but when you have first pick teemo and he tells you what he's building it's easy to form a good team and let him play the way he wants, and usually it'll work.

Uploaded the image since I had it done already for my Teemo guide, OMG SHH NOT A SPOILER!

In ranked, I go AP/Slight AD. I find that Teemo is strong in the map awareness field, and that it will force people to get an early oracles to attempt to take out your shrooms, putting them behind in gold. Teemo is just extremely powerful if played right. :]

Must be my elo then :( I'm sick of losing because of the one person that picked teemo. I guess I'm gonna have to live with it until I meet a good one. Thanks for the insight though
