So uh
I just realized why my mid game is bad now. I never take real initiative.
For instance I was beating a Kat mid and she disappears. I call MIA and keep farming. Nevertheless, she gets two kills and one death. She continued like this, never besting me but eating others often and easily. As a result I ended up underfed due to never having her in lane to kill and end up losing the game with 7/7.
Basically my main issue is that I never manage to take the time out to gank other lanes even when the enemy mid does, and afterward must scrabble for exp and gold.
that sucks.
the thing that amazed me in that teemo game is i was going mid against varus, a champion who relies completely on autoattacks and lifesteal late game. he would sacrifice an arm and a leg to get harass on me, which was funny because he literally ended up sacrificing an arm and a leg because my Q counters him so hard. this varus was bad too, he sat there, blinded, autoattacking me and did nothing, and i just ate away at his HP.
AP teemo attack speed is considerably good, especially when mid.
funny though, i did originally go AP teemo, but mixed in AD items anyway. I had around 250+ AD and 230+ AP, which made my poison very helpful, especially against high-sustain champions like Xin.
i just loving eat their HP and they cant do stuff about it.
