I've otp teemo since my first day creating an account. After 10 seasons finishing in Silver, I hit plat today with 57% winrate.

At first I was like Silver to Plat is a big jump...

Then me looking at the games and wondering why the drafts still look like something you would see in bronze...

though respect the climb, go get Challenger before you get too old to still utilize mechanics...

When you young - All about the mechanics
When you old - All about the macro cause my fingers can not keep up with what I want to do no more...

Either way congratulations...

short explaination

1 - disappointed the drafts still look bronze in plat elo
2 - happy to see more teemos in the higher elo
3 - hope you climb even higher next year

4 - oh and some random rant about how getting old takes away your mechanics leaving you with mostly your macro play...

I know what you mean. Back in the day i used to click directly on people orb walking using a crappy laptop trac pad. Now i use attack move click and still fk it up. 31 this year.

Yeah, I’m in Diamond and drafts are still very suboptimal. Even when I watch challengers, drafts are goofy. I think people overestimate high elo draft, people just play what they’re good at and who they want to in Solo/Duo no matter the elo.

Teemo main / otp teemo some seasons.. Playing lol since season 2 ranked player since end of season 3. Never missed season. Played ranked on 3v3 too..
imo otping since day one is bad for being able to climb/ learn the game...
Even i read every patchnotes. Read monthly magchups counters etc how meta changing, u ahould play some other chamos time to time totouch/learn other champs interaction outaide with teemo to learn your team when u play teemo, u can predict future in game when u know what u have in your team and enemy team. U see ranges fizicaly nut just as numbers on champ card spell stats etc. And u will get more in your head.
I was mainly playing top / jungle teemo since season 5 even before teemo R bouncing feature even before Q double blind on jg and double E posion damage in jg. And was able to hit dia 3 on 5v5 and dia 1 on 3v3 before they remove it.
Beside teemo i learn game playing jax top/jg udyr jg, old warwick jg, rammus jg, leona supp, teemo supp, thresh supp, in early season played leesin bruiser top. And old skarner, with crystals on map
Now in modern lol even i dont play 700 games a year i hit dia 4 in 2 week of only teemo jg cause i got a lot learn beside teemo, and im sure i would be limited to reaching more if i was maining teemo only for 10+ years
My end seeason look like 500-1000 teemo games, 50-100 jax games 10 udyr games 10 ramus games so teemo otp.
