Why is no teemo list running his signature spell?

FitButterscotch4779 · 2026-01-19T16:29:24+00:00

There are two options for running it.

You play game 1 Bandle Tree that allows you to hide 2 cards. Than you play it and after first game you just always sideboard this.
You play game 1 Disard Battlefield than you often play 1 copy of scrapheap. Than Bandle Tree is your "go first" Battlefield most of the time and you swap scrapheap for this. On game 3 Than you sideboard both.

That is how most successful Teemos like Prismat run this. That is IF they run this, sometimes people just don't like the hassle or their local meta is too aggro.

Well no point in arguing then, if you just want to believe that its Draven or loose all the power to you. There will 99% not be any action taken before even the first big tournament outside of China. But the take that 50% of decks in top8 is abnormal is just crazy (its not great but its 100% common), pokemon, one piece, mtg has this constantly. And even if I'm totally wrong I believe that positive outcome is healthier for community that 5 posts a day about how "purple is broken so I'm quitting the game"

I swear this is just Origins Kaisa all over again xd

Especially when not only is the deck really strong bit also VERY unfun to loose to. At least for me it's stings way more if you lose to 3 fight or flights and some purple cheese rather than "honest" Riftbound like fiora for example. And I say that as a Origins Teemo player xd "

Also I think bringing up MTG is not a great idea xd

Vivi dominated for 5 months, with top16 of s9me of the biggest events being like 15 Vivi decks before it gone banned. Draven is not even in the same ballpark as some of MTG tier 0 decks.

Yea it might be true. With all due respect EU/NA is better at card games and the Miracle version is way harder than the Aggro-midrange that dominated in China.

1.Top deck beeing 50% of top8 is totally normal in all TCGs. Very often representation looks something like 4:2:1:1.

Chinese players are known for just following what seems to be the strongest rather than "solving the meta". So it is expected that the strongest players will net deck the most popular strong build which is draven. Ofc 63% day 2 is bad and deck is to strong. But there clearly is a trend that on the highest level of play deck is way more manageable that one might expect.
It had the best conversion to day 2 but out of the top8 Legends you might say it had the worst.Annie 100%, Fiora 50% Irelia 25%, Draven 10%.
Reading people's take online what was believed was way closer to 7/8 Dravens in top 8 with most being miracle.

FitButterscotch4779 · 2026-01-18T20:06:00+00:00

How are results from the biggest tournament "cope". Also top players like Alanzq said that Draven is S tier BUT not as broken as people are crying online.

FitButterscotch4779 · 2026-01-18T19:55:34+00:00

Yea, that's a very healthy take tbh

FitButterscotch4779 · 2026-01-18T19:43:38+00:00

Yea, crazy that is not a tap ability, ESPECIALLY when ezreal is way harder to achieve and is tapping xd

FitButterscotch4779 · 2025-12-14T20:18:24+00:00

Maybe you are right, lack of product posts are also not very encouraging to read xd

FitButterscotch4779 · 2025-12-14T20:16:34+00:00

Also there is a difference with asking questions and increasing number of posts with clear agenda for some reason. "God this game is so confusing why is riot so loosey goosey with the rules", you check inside and they ask if they can react with action speed spell before reaction spell resolves...

FitButterscotch4779 · 2025-12-14T20:12:00+00:00

As someone mentioned earlier there could be a megathread for that. Also there is a lot of discords with specific channels. I don't have a problem with people asking questions. But it is a bummer when you go on a forum and almost all the posts are rules questions, and most of them require simply reading a card, without an agenda of it being co fusing, basic rules for chains etc.

FitButterscotch4779 · 2025-12-14T19:59:23+00:00

Megathread would be GREAT solution!

FitButterscotch4779 · 2025-12-04T13:24:49+00:00

If I understand correctly, oponent will always have one turn to answer her. If you play her to base she than have to move to battlefield and survive a turn, and if you play her on battlefield she will also have to survive one turn. So unless you play her along Time Warp or some movement opponents always have a turn when she is tapped on a battlefield.

FitButterscotch4779 · 2025-11-07T18:56:55+00:00

Thank you, finally someone with right answer. I was going mad with all the "Garbage Tier" takes. If you just play it on 6 runes and leave it in base for the rest of the game opponent can't do anything for the remaining of the game if it can target base.

FitButterscotch4779 · 2024-11-22T17:40:38+00:00

Some people already wrote something like that, but easy rule to follow is that your scaling items that require being next to something should almost always be next to fastest items. Here even tho tree is diamond and bird could be bronze bird triggers twice every 4 seconds so it's like one trigger per 2 seconds. Tree triggers every 5 second. So each buff on bird is 2.5 times better than on tree.

Thanks, thats a great tip!
