What’s a Teemo?
For those who don’t know, Teemo is one of League of Legends’ original champions and has stayed popular throughout the game’s life due to his immense cuteness, among other reasons.
Teemo is a Yordle, who are spirits beings in League of Legends mythos who typically take the shape of short bipeds. A major reason for Teemo being so well known is because of the chaos and calamity he can cause for anyone who doesn’t know how to play against him.
His kit has everything from indefinite invisibility to a blinding poison dart to hidden explosive mushrooms.
The iconic yordle’s laughter can strike fear into a lot of lower ranked players.Teemo also has a menacing laugh that can be heard throughout the game as well as, apparently, on Pokimane’s stream.
The streamer’s Twitch Chat seemed to enjoy the connection, and Pokimane did too since she immediately contacted her editor to collaborate on some form of content for the newly confirmed discovery.
