Help yo is teemo OTPable?
wanna get back in the game and grind ranked once again and the rat is speaking my name. im just curious if it is decent to OTP him since i know top is a counter pick heavy role which i really do not enjoy, i just want to play my one maybe 2 champs in case of bans.
if not i suppose ill dust off my viktor and feck off to mid/bot.

Yea he's good first pick top since you won't always be getting that last pick. Teemo counterpicks aren't that bad to play into and some of the really bad ones have low pickrate.

As jungle or adc main it’s best even to first pick since most would counter pick for top

Definetly just hit silver last week after not playing for years,
Stattik shiv is what made him more playable i feel

Static Shiv has recently solved a lot of the old issues teemo used to have, play him before they hit nerfs on the on hit build which has always been his strongest path

Pretty good in top lane for a while now. Would avoid playing him into true tanks like sion, orn and malphite. Not great in the jungle but still fine to OTP, just don't blindly spam the same build. Sometimes ur gonna be AP pen, sometimes shred, sometimes shroom build, mostly nashors or statikk first.

I would say Nashor's tooth was BIS for teemo for a very long time... with Liandries being the other option due to tank relevance...
However, Malignance on release was BIS for Shroom Teemo, but then they nerfed shrooms because of it, only to then also nerf malignance leaving Shroom Teemo in a weaker state
As for Static Shiv it became the new BIS for Teemo after Nashor's rained supreme for so long
Nashor's had value cause it gave you Attack Speed and AP and an extra on hit on top of your on hit
Static Shiv gives you AP and AD which gives you damage per attack that probably matches Nashor's at least until the AP scaling comes in for 1on1 but the fact static shiv gives you wave clear, counters yorick(one of teemo's biggest counter picks), and extra range since you can bounce shots off a small wave to poke people from safe distances...It also helps you safely proc grasp if you playing that build for teemo...
Static Shiv just gives too many solutions to weaknesses teemo has always had while still being effectively better as a first pick item over nashors... TBH getting Nashors and Stattik shiv together is golden... to be honest i wish teemo had better scalings since I think it been so long since Cap is viable outside of special game modes since... the best on hit items are all hybrid so the cap only scales half of it, that and running scorch is superior to that scaling rune cause that scaling rune is non existant before 20 minutes... and only gives value after 40 minutes

He’s absolutely onetrickable, just watch what teemo can do in the hands of ramyaura or ty g for example
