Not all players, just the yordle race should have that option to become a scout, and after a certain amount of badges you unlock some unique stuff to scouts alone, like a grappling hook for traversal, etc. Riot MMO really needs to stand out among MMOs, that means every race and class needs to have gameplay stuff unique to them and only them, even if this means not everyone can access all content.

Entire playthrough, hell a whole race + class combination just focused on that, you dismiss everything else, raids, dungeons, etc and just go do your own thing, collecting badges. A game within a game, once you get parts of them, you unlock new gear, like a grappling hook to get to new places, etc. to incentivize returning back to places you've been. And after you collect them all you unlock a new class, the "Combat Scout" class, and you can choose to freely switch to the Scout combat/scouting version at will. The combat version will start at level 0 and you have to play the "general" content for leveling but with this new unique class. You can literally approach the entire game in a whole new manner compared to everyone else. You can even lure in casuals that don't usually care/play MMOs to start as a scout and explore the world/do unique things to get badges. It would be so weird/fun to see everyone else fighting mobs, pvping each other and you're just there, roaming around. Of course you can still be attacked and killed, but in the scout mode you should have way more movement options and escapes compared to every other class in the game, you're not meant to fight.

ok hear me out. teemo, for all we know, could be a genuinely ancient being, right. now oral history is fairly unreliable and prone to distortion. my new headcanon is that teemo's lost copy of the bandle scout rules (rules that are kind of just about living life in a *good* but not necessarily *lawful good* way as leaving the world in a better place than one found it could realistically mean breaking laws that would otherwise force one to live badly, i'm sure you can think of an example from history) went on to be moderately corrupted into whatever illaoi's religion is. illaoi preaches "motion", which can mean all sorts of things. the literal interpretation would certainly fit with the "seek out every rock and tree" rule, and even the more metaphorical (and obviously intentional) interpretation as going and exploring new things is kind of the opposite of the stagnancy illaoi rails against. also one of illaoi's titles is the "truth bearer of nagakabouros" which fits in with the 4th rule about being honest. the only gap in this is the whole "kindness" thing, and while illaoi definitely isn't kind, but you could also see that as the ends justifying the means - leaving the world a better place by killing people who aren't kind. oh and also fluffy is nagakabouros. she eats souls (or, spirits i guess but same thing) and fluffy was a soul devouring sea worm. only minor hang-up is that fluffy is male but hey nagakabouros has a beard, maybe eldritch deities are beyond mortal gender definitions.

I feel like Teemo and the Fireside Girls from Phineas and Ferb would get along so well

[@Error-ke1tf]

I miss morally ambiguous teemo.

[@benjaminmelton8151]

food for thought, fluffy could be a reworked cho gath or one of cho gaths cousins. and when he sees cho he could say "FLUFFY! is that YOU?" or "wow fluffy, you've gotten...big!" or "hey wait a second, your not FLUFFY!"

they removed/toned down teemo's darker side.... I loved that part of him. in fact that was the main point I enjoyed. fucking riot.

[@wonderboy4107]

I bet they updated Teemo cus the next show after Arcane will probably be Yordle based

i feeling noone is talking about how isha could be teemo, spoilers: she is basically expoling himself with warwick in the end of act 2 which makes me think there will be some sort of transforming into a small wolfy thing, (with hextech shot ) also teemo doesnt remember his past sus?? buying off mushrooms from piltover? also in one of the interviews with christian linke, he answered a question where he said they wanna tell more fun stories about the lol universe in future series so that made me thing there might be connection from isha to yordles for the future series? maybe im just rambling plz someone tell me im not alone. only thing that I think this would not be the case is that teemo is really old...

[@mythicalsuperdolphins2955]

Not a big fan of getting rid of his deadly side just because he looks cute. That was the appeal for him for a lot of people seems like a downgrade lorewise to me.

[@milanesadearsenico]

So what I’m hearing is that there’s still room for a Yordle Captain, just in the nautical sense rather than the military sense

[@DylanGosseye]

I do feel sad Teemo doesn't have these random ptsd moments. Like he totally lost the secret devil aspect of him, while they had the chance to play into it more.

[@cicadianrhythm784]

They gave him a Pyke list of badges. Keeps growing longer XD

[@Sockdologer]

If yordles aren't supposed to be military-like I wonder what they would do to Tristana and Corki

[@Kazuhiro-i]

Tristana is the weirdo so she is fine (for now) the other.. he is dead. Say goodbye to Corki he cant exist if riot wants to profit from their predatory tactics to casual players (often girls) to sell cute bs.

[@KevsDoYouTube]

teemo new lore: *gains potential dementia and is either naive to the destruction he is causing with his shrooms or fully knows but is simply negligent of it* he's just like me fr

2:53 Your Kled is showing.

[@ruggedlemmings9163]

7:02 Gotta say the thought of a scruffy Bilgewater pirate stumbling across Teemo's handbook and deciding to give up his/her pirating ways to embrace The Scout's Code and become a non-yordle Bandle Scout actually sounds like a really fun concept for a new champ.

[@sonidoliberto]

The scout oath are not made up rules, it's made up of rules! xDDD

[@johancito16345]

14:11 lol that is clearly a reference to dark wood, specifically to one of the merchant "all roads lead depper into the woods" i cant believe it

[@obeyobay9146]

They should make teemos lost bandle scout rule book a purchase-able item ingame

[@sirreginaldfishingtonxvii6149]

Teemo being "oblivious" to what he's doing is interesting, considering he's poisoning people via blowgun. You don't... Do that on accident? That's a war crime! Honestly with that, and how he shrugs off deaths, I feel it's still almost implied he's absolutely a highly trained killer. But he's forgotten his past and isn't really reflecting on it. In some way or another.

[@0oNoiseo0]

Idkk... the voice has a bit to much FX processing for me but the lore is funny!

[@badonis7289]

Regarding the yordle rules, it'd be super cool to see some mini animations produced by riot just depicting Teemo's misadventures resulting in the creation of a new rule. It'd be cool if it was like a consistent series but maybe one would be cool too. That way we'd get a feel of the scouts code and why it is the way it is in canon.

[@chryaienxonyaria4722]

9:18 NOOOOOO IT'S CLEARLY A REFERENCE TO HIS PRESTIGE SKIN !!!!!!!!!!

[@aalvaroo]

so now the Bandle Scouts r just real life scouts….. how creative

[@merchant_of_kek5697]

So people always say LoL lore is so cool. But they can’t even keep their lore they wrote the same. Literally none of this matters.

[@TheM8]

I wish they would put more dark things in to the yordles not less... They should be more fae.

[@Adonna2424]

Seriously. They could completely go super dark with...Lulu. No really. She reminds me very much of Annie, this cute cuddly turned dark instantly vibe.

[@nyanbrox5418]

But they *arent* Yordles are happy go lucky magical creatures who don't understand the things they copy, In D&D specifically, fey creatures are very scary because they have mind control and are often malicious, but yordles aren't anything like that

[@DarknessFuchsia]

​@@nyanbrox5418They aren't, that's why he's saying they _should_ be

[@nyanbrox5418]

@DarknessFuchsia they aren't, which is why I'm saying they *shouldn't* be, sure there could be evil fae creatures in runeterra, like the asakana, but not the yordles

[@DarknessFuchsia]

@@nyanbrox5418 Asakana are hardly fae creatures Hey you want the boring, generic and bi-dimensional Yordles more power to you, there's no use debating personal preference

[@TeatimeToad]

The scoutbook leading to new lore is interesting, I think it could be used to tie Fizz to the other yordles, by making him and teemo meet and they talk about the code, maybe even a lore rework for fizz who knows. I also think that a Yordle Hunter could be interesting, they find the scoutbook and try to capture teemo or something. It defo sets up a lot of lore possibilites

[@Purpleninjawv]

Stop trying to fluff and Nerf everything into some huggy Bear crap, teemos nice chipper bff guy but deadly AF origin was waaaay better. They literally made a Satan skin for him just for that reason.
