Teemo for N00Bs

[quote=TheSofa]Hi all! I recently bought [[Teemo]] with IP, and was wondering what to do. I've read a few guides, and this is what I know so far: (I don't really know anything) Max {E}, zone your lane like crazy. Place Shrooms like Techies mines: in bushes etc. Use {Q} to disengage. I don't really know anything else. Thanks so much for helping me and other people like me! Cheers! TheSofa[/quote]

[quote=rankupColdbolt]All I know is, I saw a Teemo with Rage+Gunblade and he started destroying people. Added a Frozen Mallet and he was also hard to kill. He had enough damage to kill marksmen really quickly and was really hard himself to kill. In other words, eventually when Teemo died, he had already done his huge part to win the teamfight. I have the feeling this is going to be a very strong champion.[/quote]

[quote=RottedApples]you can max q for poke. It depends on the matchup. Generally if you have a less favorable matchup you do this (if you are ap that is, which is common and i'm unsure about ad teemo in this season). Examples of less favorable matchups would be assassins and people who outrange you. Usually teemo struggles against people who outrange him or can just kill him quickly.[/quote]

[quote=TheSofa]Shamelessly bumping my own post. :D Some questions about [[Teemo]]: Which lane (I'm assuming top)? What items? What role? Thanks, TheSofa[/quote]

[quote=Janitsu][[Teemo]] is probably at his best when he is top, though mid can work Items: [[Doran's ring]] > [[sorcerer's shoes]] > [[liandry's torment]] > [[guinsoo's rageblade]] > [[void staff]]/[[nashor's tooth]] etc. His role is either APC or visionutility/soft CC monster[/quote]

[quote=TheSofa]So I tried [[Teemo]] in a bot game going the exact build Jani mentioned... 33/0/4 what is this champion.[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]Bots also don't know how to play against Teemo in the slightest. They don't know that mushrooms even exist. they forget about your blind, and DoTs don't really go well with their AI.[/quote]

[quote=TheSofa]Yeah I figured. There's no way someone would dive when they're blinded.[/quote]

[quote=Ekki][quote=TheSofa]Yeah I figured. There's no way someone would dive when they're blinded.[/quote]You'd be surprised how often that happens in normal games. Bots are just too easy after you're used to the game. They can work to playtest abilities, ranges or early damage, but they are especially bad to test builds.[/quote]

If you want to really learn how to play a champion, just go play them in a normal game. Everyone was shit at the game at some point, may as well get yours out of the way as soon as possible. Build based on what you [i]think[/i] is good. If it's not, you can sell it. And if it is good, well now you're winning the game even harder. Simple as that.[/quote]
