League of Legends is sometimes all about clever moves that offer you an advantage in the early game, and it seems that Korean players are favoring Teemo with this new cheese
New Teemo cheese from Korean players
Spha358, a League of Legends player, recently shared a stunning outplay on the official League subreddit by Teemo and Neeko at the start of their game. The two players build a trap in the top lane, resulting in an early Mordekaiser kill.
Nothing looked out of the usual at first. Mordekaiser began his laning versus Teemo in a typical way. The champion wasn’t hitting the minions, and Mordekaiser’s mid-lane teammate, Malzahar, reported that his opponent, Neeko, was gone.
The Teemo is revealed to be a disguised Neeko, with the real one hidden behind Mordekaiser’s back with his passive. After a few seconds, the “fake” one began assaulting Mordekaiser, while the real one revealed himself and focused on the other champion.
Mordekaiser had practically little hope of escaping death with the unexpected change of events and his weak position. The champ attempted to rescue himself without using a Flash, but Teemo’s Ignite proved his undoing, earning the latter first blood in a spectacular way.
Users in the comments of the video also expressed their thoughts on this unique cheese from Korea, claiming that this tactic can genuinely damage the players psychologically.
While this tactic is certainly annoying for the other team and should put the top laner at a significant disadvantage early on, especially against a range opponent, Neeko also likely lost a large number of minions in the mid-lane. As a result, it’s difficult to determine whether it’s worthwhile unless you want to perform a genuinely amazing trick on your enemies.
