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
  やぶからヨードル

  短時間行動せずにいると無限にインビジブル状態になる。茂みの中であれば移動中でもインビジブル状態になり、動き回っても解除されない。インビジブル状態が解除されると「奇襲モード」になり、攻撃速度が数秒間増加する。

  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
  目つぶしダーツ

  強力な毒で敵1体の視力を低下させる。攻撃を受けた敵はダメージを受け、一定時間ブラインド状態になる。

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

• W
  駆け足！

  移動速度が増加。ただし、敵チャンピオンまたはタワーから攻撃を受けると効果が消滅する。数秒間、移動速度が増加。この間は、攻撃を受けても効果が持続する。

• E
  毒たっぷり吹き矢

  通常攻撃のたびに、対象を毒状態%i:OnHit%通常攻撃時効果にする。攻撃を受けた対象は命中時にダメージを受け、さらにその後4秒にわたって毎秒ダメージを受ける。

• R
  毒キノコ

  バックパックに収納した「毒キノコ」を1つ取り出し、破裂性の毒トラップを仕掛ける。敵がトラップを踏むと毒霧が放出され、近くにいる敵ユニットをスロウ状態にし、継続ダメージを与える。毒キノコを他の毒キノコに投げつけると、バウンドしてさらに遠くに飛んでいく。

  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.
