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.

Abilities & how to counter them

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

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.
