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
  유격 전투

  티모가 아무 행동도 하지 않고 잠시 서 있으면 무기한 투명 상태가 됩니다. 수풀 속에서는 이동 중에도 투명 상태에 돌입해 유지할 수 있습니다. 투명 상태에서 벗어나면 기습공격 효과를 얻어 몇 초간 공격 속도가 증가합니다.

  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
  실명 다트

  강력한 독으로 적의 시야를 가리고 피해를 입힙니다. 지속시간 동안 대상을 실명시킵니다.

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

• W
  신속한 이동

  티모의 이동 속도가 증가합니다. 포탑이나 적 챔피언에게 공격받으면 효과가 중단됩니다. 티모는 짧은 시간 공격당하지 않으면 다시 이동 속도 증가 효과를 얻을 수 있습니다.

• E
  맹독 다트

  티모의 기본 공격 %i:OnHit% 적중 시 적은 중독되어 4초 동안 매초 피해를 입습니다. 기본 공격을 맞힐 때마다 독 피해도 같이 들어갑니다.

• R
  유독성 함정

  티모가 가방에 있던 버섯을 사용하여 폭발성 독 함정을 던집니다. 적이 함정을 밟으면 독 구름이 퍼져 나와 몇 초에 걸쳐 적의 이동 속도를 늦추고 피해를 입힙니다. 버섯 위에 새 버섯을 던져서 튕기면 더 멀리까지 함정을 설치할 수 있습니다.

  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.
