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
GuerrigliaSe Teemo sta fermo e non agisce per un breve periodo di tempo, diventa invisibile. Se si trova nell'erba alta, Teemo può attivare e mantenere l'Invisibilità mentre si muove. Dopo che è tornato visibile, Teemo guadagna Elemento di sorpresa, aumentando la velocità d'attacco per alcuni secondi.
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
Dardo accecanteOscura la visione di un nemico con un potente veleno, infliggendo danni al bersaglio e facendo in modo che i suoi attacchi non vadano a segno per la durata dell'effetto.
Strong: blinds you, making auto-attacks miss — brutal for AD melees. Weak: only affects autos, not abilities — trade with your spells while blinded.
W
RapiditàTeemo va in giro per il campo di battaglia e aumenta passivamente la sua velocità di movimento finché non è colpito da un campione nemico o una torre. Teemo può scattare per guadagnare un bonus alla velocità di movimento per un breve periodo di tempo, che non viene annullato se viene colpito.
E
Colpo tossicoOgnuno degli attacchi di Teemo avvelena il bersaglio %i:OnHit% sul colpo, infliggendo danni all'impatto e poi a ogni secondo, per 4 secondi.
R
Trappola tossicaTeemo lancia una trappola esplosiva e velenosa, usando uno dei funghi che ha raccolto. Se un nemico attiva la trappola si sprigiona una nube velenosa, che rallenta i nemici e li danneggia nel tempo. Se Teemo lancia un fungo su un altro fungo, questo rimbalzerà ottenendo una gittata maggiore.
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.
