I mean, you could, but the whole point of AD hybrid Teemo from last season was it scaled with AP so you could double dip in both. But I wouldn't recommend going into builds with full AD.

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

You are missing some matchups, for example Renata on support. Otherwise great guide, Iยดve been following it for a few years now and you are doing a great job with it!

Sovereign Kitten (87) | January 17, 2024 1:59pm
Yeah, a few match-ups would be either missing or forgotten. I'll try to update it as I can, I am just not as active or motivated in a sense of urgency, so I just take my time now.

Sorry to bother you, do you have any anti-tank builds with Teemo? What runes could I use?๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿ‘ˆ

Sovereign Kitten (87) | January 13, 2024 2:53am
Generally speaking we don't fight tanks. Once they get to a certain point, they just become a big problem to deal with, back in previous Seasons it was always Riftmaker, because of the massive True Damage, right now it's mostly abuse Malignance and full AP because it does so much damage to everyone, but even then they are less effected due to all the MR and other such things.

Do you plan to update the support build? What item can replace Spellthief's Edge?
2
Sovereign Kitten (87) | January 11, 2024 9:12am
Updated most of the item builds and will polish it as time goes on as we usually do as a community.

Sovereign Kitten (87) | January 10, 2024 6:49pm
Currently really busy with a lot of editing and work on another site, so it is going to be a bit slow to update and have only taken a look at Top, Mid, Jng in my free time, didn't even look at Support for some time. But again, sorry for any failure to get the guides updated on day one like I have always done.

Why do you usually prefer Shadowflame over Demonic Embrace?
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?

Sovereign Kitten (87) | December 21, 2023 11:23am
Websites are different from players. Websites are specifically cherry picking the TOP players in the world with the highest win-rates and usually leave out the lower rank players and such because it's not what people look for. Check out "Lolalytics" and check for Diamond+ players. It's not very good, but check lower rank players specifically gold.

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?

I still miss the old build with Hurricane & Nashor/Wit's End if I remember correctly. Incredibly fast lane clear and dealing lot of damage in team fights. I can't see Hurricane in any of your builds. Is it worth buying this item or has it been changed/nerfed too much and it's not that good for Teemo anymore?
1
Sovereign Kitten (87) | November 2, 2023 6:46pm
Runaan's Hurrican, from my recollection of when I used to play League petty frequently, was never worth giving up genuine survivability for, unless you were highly fed and simply steam rolling level 10s while you're level 18, for a quick PentaKills and completing the game faster, it was pretty much overridden by Kraken Slayer / Anathema and whatever other defensive item was needed.

What about the Guinsoo? I didnยดt do anything explaining when to use it. Thanks for putting a lot of effort into this! This has not only Teemo information, but has basic stuff like lane control too!

Sovereign Kitten (87) | October 23, 2023 5:23pm
Yeah, when I first started Teemo 7-8 years ago. There wasn't a lot of written stuff just "Watch me" and literally "Just build this to win." So I got to work throughout the years, going over the fundamentals and all that nice stuff before moving on to more granular aspects.

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.

Hey, thanks for keeping the guide updated! You've been doing the wonderful job over the years. I'd like to ask you - what's the best build & runes for biggest AP Shrooms damage so I could deadly traps in enemy's jungle?
2
Sovereign Kitten (87) | October 20, 2023 8:25pm
Comet is theoretical in speech, which I go into detail about it here.

Lisq (1) | November 2, 2023 10:47am
Could you add the Comet build for max AP Shroom's damage? (For top/mid) To have fun planting traps in enemy's jungle and trying to deal as much damage as it's possible (both to squishy and tanky enemies). Sometimes this strategy in long, tough games is much more helpful as it can help to make one good gank and then win the game.

Significant adjustments have been made to the Power Point, with a more in-depth approach to runes and individual champions rather than being straightforward. Hopefully, this helps you better grasp Teemo and his match-ups.

Demonic Embrace is non-optimal for Teemo in my experience. It's a worse Liandry's Torment as it has the same burn that you can only apply via Blinding Dart and Noxious Trap, but you don't deal extra damage based on bonus HP. You're also paying more than the items actually cost(you'll lose ~300g considering a normal burn build) or you'll get bad items to compensate the difference. Also you delay better items such as Void Staff or Rabadon's Deathcap. For me it's a newbie/noob trap.

Sovereign Kitten (87) | October 3, 2023 3:48am
I'm not sure why you bring it up. Outside of Grasp and defensive incorporation, the item is hardly referenced. The first thing discussed is the optional burn build, which lacks Demonic. It used to be fantastic when it offered significantly more damage and even resistance.

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 brought it cuz it's a forum and wanted to share my opinion. The burn build core literally has Demonic Embrace. I understand your point, even tho a Zhonya's, Banshee or even a Cosmic Drive can be better I you're getting gapped. I never said that in your build Demonic Embrace is core, the closest I said is that is a noob/newbie trap, which isn't even your fault, its Riot's. I pointed out that Demonic embrace has no other advantage besides the burn. I also explained that the only way to make it 100%+ worth is by doing a bad build considering a normal build, which include rune such as press the attack, Aery or dark haverst.

So, how can I start? I play 2 mobas, smite as my main moba and occasionally LoL just fore fun. On smite I love the character Ratatoskr which I also own (I know modesty is a virtue, but...) a very detailed, good and high ranked guide and since the first time I started with this game (2017, I guess) I've been following your guide because Teemo is on LoL what Rat is on Smite to me, and I clearly can feel the passion on your guide and it always reminds me about mine.

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.

Thanks.

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.

xmysterionz | August 12, 2023 3:35pm
Yes, I do understand your feelings. Why do you think I moved from smite to Lol? The same reason of you. I also have this feeling of "I've gone so far that I just can't give up now" and even though I avoid playing smite, I barely read patch notes, yet I try to keep everything updated due to this feeling.

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
