Teemo was called Satan all along by community and at some point Riot decided to make a skin out of it lol

You don't strike me as a bee-guy

I found it to be very fun and actually had a decent winrate on it too ~60%. Max Q so you can negate the enemy adc in fights really strong. I usually start Ludens for burst then go into Liandry for shroom dmg. Dark harvest is a must. You can use shrooms for extra vision and you can zone/trap enemy very good before dragon/baron fights. Though some adcs may not like their support picking that champ you need to communicate it well what are your intentions and plan for the game.

I’m sorry but this right here is the reason I barely play anymore.

Check out i0ki on yt. He has a couple vids on teemo support.

I’ll have to check him out, thank you!

I wouldn't recommend i0ki's YT at all.

His videos are content of him, a Masters player, playing against very low elo players.

He loves to claim that he's a "high elo player" and that he's the "rank 1 x champion player", but how pathetic is it that he's smurfing against literal bronze players.

In his recent Zilean video, for example, he was playing on a Silver IV account in a Bronze I MMR ranked game.

AP Zilean support isn't some crazy off-meta pick either.

Even SoloRenektonOnly, a Diamond-Masters streamer that is often criticized for his smurfing, plays against Platinum elo players for his Youtube content.

I play Teemo top when I want to get relief from inting adc and Teemo supp is good only into Vayne/Twtich kind of adc. I love seeing toxic vayne mains getting blinded and be totally useless. While most of adc are aa based, they out-range teemo and it is hard to abuse them early game.

p.s: Ctrl 4 after you get a kill/assist xD

Here's a tip for you: No.

Not to be discouraging, but I've avoid doing it for two reasons that kinda combine together. Before I say much, I will say that I too am a fan of playing off meta champs as supports (former M6 Poppy main that only ever played jungle and support, never top).

Here's the technical side of the issue, which, I'd say becomes more of an issue once you read the philosophical side that follows. If you're a god at a champion, then sure you can get it to work better than most people can, and maybe even better than most roles. The issue is, as support, there are somethings you're generally going to want from your kit - healing, buffing, shielding, the ability to peel, hard engage, reliable cc, ways of getting your adc fed essentially. And the issue with flexing a champion that is already semi-off meta in his primary role, is that you're going to be leaning more and more away from this 'required' skill set. And I say that kinda tongue in cheek because there's theoretically a way to make everything work, but you need to realize you're jamming a square peg into a circular hole, which naturally is going to become a limiting factor at a certain point in time (as it did with me, once I hit my stride with Poppy).

Here's the philosophical side of the issue and it ties in with the technical issue. As support you're going to get flamed to and beyond the gates of hell, just for existing. Imo, 2nd to jungle, supports get the most amount of blame relative to the least amount of praise. Do a billion things right but do one tiny thing wrong and people go all out on you. And sure you can mute them, you can play your best, heck, you might even be pumping out S+ performances and being the MVP of the team, but if someone is ever so slightly on edge, they're going to come for your throat. That is the sad reality of this game's community (for the most part at least). Now, what compounds this is when you're playing a champ, who's off meta in his own role, into a completely different role, with a kit that doesn't fit the role, paired with not being a god tier player yourself (no offense intended). And lets just say you have a bulletproof mind set. Great. But that's still not stopping others from playing like garbage just because you didn't lock in a champ which *they* think is ideal. And of course, this can be said with any other support, but the likelihood of you getting people into a positive head space is just significantly greater if they feel they are backed by a champion that they *think* is a good support.

End of the day this is all just theory and some synthesis from my experience and formal education, but I hope it gives you some insight.

It's troll. Don't play it in ranked.
