This morning, the lead gameplay designer of League of Legends – Riot Mark Yetter announced updates regarding jungle champions for the upcoming 10.6 patch. You can find the details here. Basically, Teemo and other mages like Brand, Morgana, and Zyra will be buffed for jungle capability to diversify the champion pool for this role. Along with this, the updates have been applied to the PBE test server.
As soon as the update is completed, YouTubers specializing in new League of Legends content, such as the “bug master” Vandiril, have tested Teemo in this new role. The result can only be described with the two words “Horrifying” to depict the speed at which this little creature jungles. Traditional jungle champions might need to tip their hats to the strength of Teemo in the jungle.
According to Riot Mark Yetter’s announcement, the E skill – Toxic Shot will now deal 150% damage to jungle monsters, allowing Teemo to farm the jungle more easily than before. However, in some miraculous way, while fixing Teemo’s code for this update, Riot Games inadvertently added an incredibly powerful feature to this champion.
Specifically, after 4 seconds of receiving the effect from the E skill, each instance of damage will continuously increase by 150% from the previous number, allowing Teemo to deal thousands of damage to Baron from just a few dozen minor hits. As you can see in the video above, Teemo can farm jungle monsters without losing much health, take Dragons in a “healthy & balanced” manner from level 4, and is able to solo Baron in under 15 seconds.
In every misfortune, there is a bit of luck; this insane effect only applies when Teemo attacks jungle monsters and does not affect champions. If it were to apply to champions as well, the spread of the plague named Teemo would perhaps be faster than a certain well-known pandemic. Riot Games, please fix this little creature!
