How to beat Teemo

Common role: Top

A ranged poke lane-bully who blinds attackers and litters the map with mushrooms.

What makes Teemo dangerous

Teemo out-ranges melee tops, blinds them with his Q (making their autos miss) and stacks poison. His ultimate mushrooms zone objectives and jungle paths, and reveal you. He's a lane-phase menace but a small, squishy target in teamfights.

How to play against Teemo

• 1His blind (Q) only stops auto-attacks, not abilities. If you're an ability-based champion, trade with your spells while blinded.
• 2Buy a Control Ward and Oracle Lens to clear his mushrooms around objectives — most of his mid-game power is denying vision and space.
• 3Freeze the wave near your tower to deny his short-range poke, then punish when he steps up to farm.
• 4In teamfights he's tiny and squishy — dive him first. He has no escape besides his passive stealth when standing still.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Extremely squishy — dies to any burst or dive.
• ✓Blind is useless against ability-based damage.
• ✓Falls off relative to scaling carries in the late game.
• ✓Mushrooms are cleared by pink wards and sweepers.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Teemo's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  Guérilla

  Si Teemo reste immobile et sans agir pendant un court instant, il devient invisible indéfiniment. Dans les herbes hautes, Teemo peut activer et maintenir son invisibilité tout en se déplaçant. Quand il quitte son invisibilité, Teemo profite de l'Effet de surprise, augmentant sa vitesse d'attaque pendant quelques secondes.

  Strong: stealth when standing still lets him ambush and escape. Weak: breaks the moment he moves or is revealed — sweepers and pinks expose him.

• Q
  Fléchette aveuglante

  Un puissant venin obscurcit la vue de l'ennemi, infligeant des dégâts à la cible et l'aveuglant pendant la durée de l'effet.

  Strong: blinds you, making auto-attacks miss — brutal for AD melees. Weak: only affects autos, not abilities — trade with your spells while blinded.

• W
  Vélocité

  La vitesse de déplacement de Teemo est passivement augmentée jusqu'à ce qu'il soit frappé par un champion ennemi ou une tourelle ennemie. Teemo peut sprinter pour gagner un bonus temporaire en vitesse de déplacement qui n'est pas annulé si Teemo est touché.

• E
  Tir toxique

  Toutes les attaques de Teemo empoisonnent la cible, infligeant des dégâts %i:OnHit% à l'impact puis chaque seconde pendant 4 sec.

• R
  Piège nocif

  Teemo se sert d'un des champignons stockés dans son sac à dos pour lancer un piège explosif. Si un ennemi marche sur le piège, un nuage empoisonné s'en échappe, ralentit les ennemis et leur inflige des dégâts sur la durée. Les champignons lancés sur d'autres champignons rebondissent et ont ainsi une plus grande portée.

  Strong: mushrooms zone objectives, reveal you and stack poison. Weak: cleared by Control Wards and Oracle Lens — sweep before you path through.

Itemization

His damage-over-time poison is magic, so early magic resist (Mercury's Treads, a Null-Magic Mantle) is efficient. As a melee, Blade of the Ruined King or lifesteal helps you sustain through poke and out-duel him once you're on him.
