It would be something like Greaves, Nashors, Kraken, Shieldbow, Bloodthirster and Terminus, You could put Blade of the Ruined King instead of Nashor, but really you do more with AP :P
Porofessor (op.gg) build suggests quite different build for PTA - it's PTA + Resolve and items like Nashor>Liandry>SE. What do you think about that?
It's also based on what the community does more of. If everyone started playing Grasp again, most runes would be showing as Grasp, hence, why I say Fleet is okay for survival but notice how no website recommend it outright?
So, I understand that there are a lot of folks out there, like Manc0, who at one point claimed that it was the best build ever to play on-hit for Teemo. But if you sit down and perform the math, the explanation becomes clear. In the game's current condition, itemization, survivability, and so on.
Guinsoo's Rageblade is a bad item because, well, think about it. When was the last time you battled a skilled opponent and hit them 7-9 times BEFORE they could stun, lockdown, or one-shot you? The playstyle and build is ridiculously squishy and provides nothing for defense or proper AP scaling.
I don't want to go into too much detail, as I usually do, because I'm not all that interested in typing up a 2 hour page on it all, let me put it this way. Guinsoo's had a 55% WR before the changes back in 13.9? It dropped immediately to 46% and have NEVER seen itself go above 50% since. Riftmaker on-hit, is ALWAYS a 54-55% WR in a massive number of games.
Do you want a 55% WR with more than 100k games played or a 47-49% WR with 20-30k games played? It has less to do with itemization and more to do with your ability to play the physical game. This is why high-rank players can make things work, but it is also necessary to understand itemization so that it supports you rather than hinder you.
Long Story short: Guinsoo offers nothing.

But I never said it's tremendously core or that it's a better choice than Liandries. Each has a specific application. Which leads me to believe that you didn't bother looking for anything related to it in the body text, but rather noticed it in the items someplace (Grasp) and indicated you didn't agree.
Yes, because they are clueless, people develop it as new players, but the bulk of those players are either playing Grasp or Summon Aery. It's not a horrible thing because they still get some damage out of it with their (R) and (Q) poke, which is another way to play Teemo aside from his (E) on-hit bruiser builds and the like.
I know how hard and boring to write a guide and keep it updated is, especially when you have to BBCode a lot, so my honest thank you to you and your efforts, I am not a good guy on Lol, I do not know all the items nor the champions in this game (like I do on Smite) but thanks to your guide I've been able to have some fun and beat some people on the game XD.
I know that sometimes when you write a guide it might seem or feel you are wasting your time, especially when people are toxic and trash talk you without even read what you have to say just because "HuR DuR MoBaFiRe/SmItEfiRe iS BaD", but to some people like me this is the world that allows me to keep playing without been destroyed every game.
A special Thank you from another guide write.
Keep up with your great job.
Due to the amount of passion and time I put into it, it's always been more of a hobby than anything I ever considered seriously. It paved the way for subsequent endeavors, such as writing as a video game reviewer and video game video reviewer. So I'm glad with where I've landed after all these years, even if I still feel forced to keep the guide updated even though I have an ever-growing disinterest in the community / game and even Teemo as a champion.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to balance this with my actual writing jobs, which have deadlines, where this guide has always been a passion project, and a way for me to help others, not myself.
Just know that you are not alone, there are people that really appreciate your hard work, not only for the advises from the guide but actually everything because I know the "pain" that is writing and code everything for free just because we like the champion.
Once again, thank you, I hope you don't give up anytime soon, not until I've mastered teemo :p
Good luck, it takes some time to master :p
His main sustain is his passive healing... but that shuts off if he takes any damage or gets cced. Adding grievous wounds to your attacks doesn't affect it at all, since it will already shut off when you attack.
Am I missing something?
- Early game super harrass. As you say, w away if he q's at you.
- He has to choose between his passive healing & farming. If you can get him to lower health, any time he comes to farm turn his healing off with any attack or with blind/shroom.
- Smart garen will: Q at you baiting the blind, spin on top of you (if you let him get close enough), then hit with his Q after the spin. (Q lasts 4.5 sec, spin is 3 sec.) Against a smart garen, you need to just not let him get near enough to spin on you if his q is up. Because if you don't blind, he can hit you with q, and if you do, he can spin on you and q after the blind wears off. Note that waiting til he starts to spin to blind him won't always work, as your blind duration is shorter than the spin. Waiting til the end of the spin is good, but note he can cancel it early and q immediately, so really you just have to not let him get in range to guarantee not getting hurt.
- Set up defensive shrooms and use them to keep him from closing on you. He will build movespeed boosters; if you can't kite him over a shroom he will get in range to spin & do a ton of dmg on you, and your w won't always work once he has speed items.
One other thing I've noticed (just in general): In solo q, let jungler know if your laner goes sweeper/oracle lens. If they swap to it early, they have very little vision control as its just cwards, and you can destroy those as you find them. Their jg might ward for them a bit, but their ward coverage will be lower than usual.
So, I like to:
- Tell jg to come try to gank more often, because they will have less vision than usual
- I spread my shrooms out much more, so that only 1 or 2 get cleared in a single sweep. I'll set up many different small defensive areas, rather than a few more dense shroom defense areas.
