If they start Doran's then go for a midlane build I agree. Something like Zyra, Brand or morg with a proper build is fine IMO

I rarely play with anyone, I usually play ranked and solo-queue probably 95% of my total League time or more, so I'm not just playing support because of a group of friends. Ideally, I'd actually like an option that was like fill, but actually tried to give you each role 20% of the time instead of just whichever would get you into game the fastest. Currently I list mid>top or mid>supp when I play, and I'm pretty happy to play any of the three (mid being the hardest to get leads to it always being the one I list first to get more balance).

I love playing support even in Bronze, because it's fun as hell to poke people down in lane for your ADC, and high impact ults like Sona/Nami can 100% turn a teamfight. Additionally, I love the feeling of putting a clutch heal (summoner or ability) onto a teammate to save them at the last second. Supports can have huge leverage even in low ELO, though it can be tough.

When I do play with a group of people, I usually play top or jungle, but that's mostly because I want my mechanical mistakes to be less costly to my team, and want to play to what I can do in a coordinated group - yell, "hey, we're fighting now" and malph/j4/naut into a group of the enemy team. This in part comes from my experience regularly playing with a group of friends in Heroes of the Storm, too, where I was our designated shotcaller and played tanks.

Teemo is fun, gives a reasonably high win rate and isn't too mechanically challenging

I've seen teemos do well even in high elo so yeah. It's all about getting good at the champ. Play who you think is fun and go from there.

In lower elos people are disrespectful of champion damage potential, thats why leblanc can walk around deleting people

Its even more sneaky when half the damage is concealed in DoT rather than big, scary chunks

One of my RL friends who plays League mains Teemo and is upper Gold, so it's definitely viable. Play whatever you like!

Outside of Challenger, pretty much any champion is viable as long as you know how to play it.

I genuinely see it as a counter to carry tops, where his poke just demolishes them in lane.

I just want to have fun, don't really care about being "competitive" or whatever.

Teemo is fun.

So I play him.

I tend to have more fun when I win but if I try too hard the stress wipes out the fun from winning

He is still on bot games, so winning isn't a challenge.
