    I'm actually surprised he's not listed as a carry. He's got some of the best stats around, and has a steroid in the form of his passive (it actually works better than Twitch). his E doubles as a second passive steroid that actually increases his damage output beyond most AD carries. he's also got a W that allows him to roam around quickly, getting into better position on the fly. Not all ADs have positioning skills.

    i'm just finding AD Teemo to be outclassing at least half the listed AD carries, or is there something wrong with what i am seeing?

    The problem is that you have to do nothing for two full seconds to proc Teemo's stealth, which means you either set yourself up to get harassed or miss CS. His base stats don't scale very well, and the split nature of his damage means that building pure AD is less effective (since his poison isn't scaling off of AD). He loses a lot of passive W mobility when he takes a hit, and his low range guarantees he'll take a lot of hits.

    He can be a fun bot laner with his blind, mobility, and shrooms, but his physical damage doesn't scale in the same way that other AD carries do. Late game, you'll need at least one other source of significant physical damage, otherwise the enemy team is free to stack MR and blocks off the majority of your team's damage.
