Against someone like Darius (for example) because Darius only has his E to get close to you which first of all, isn't too easy to hit and it has that little delay so you can start your Blinding Dart on the way. This way you can negate most of the damage early on because on early levels Darius deals most of his damage with his autoattacks and W.

I may add that those "weak" tops are also easy to counter (Champions with not-so-good base stats like Aatrox), because they can jump onto you but you usually can deal more damage.

I may need to update the matchups list because of the nerfs/buffs/preseason 4 things.

So you're telling me to never play Teemo unless they pick Singed?

I have played with this build on my smurf and I can say that it is viable in higher platinum, but probably weak against most of the tops. You should get Teemo only if you are against a melee without good gapcloser or who is dependent on his autoattacks.

may i ask you how viable is your build is in platinum 1+ ? i am hesitating on trying this in a ranked game,anyway your build looks original and i like it and your guide is well detailed Gj ^^

What do you mean with "just try better"?

First of all, this is a top lane build.

Second thing: Guinsoo's Rageblade is a bad item, no matter what.

And if I want to defend my opinions and explanations, I could just say "I destroy top lane with it", like you do.

If anything, you should build AD AP Teemo. I tested out this build this weekend. I built Hextech Gunblade, Guinsoo's Rageblade (however i will probably change that to something else), Nashor's Tooth, Liandry's Torment, Frozen Mallet, and Sorcerer's Shoes. If I'm going to change the Rageblade it will probably be to possibly the Bloodthirster. I'm not 100% sure yet. The build did pretty good. I destroyed bottom lane with it.

First of all, AD Teemo is viable. Even though, this isn't a full AD build, but a beefy Teemo build. Blinding Dart's purpose is to blind, and AP doesn't make the blind any longer. Toxic Shot still deals quite a bit damage, even without ability power and Noxious Traps are still good way to have vision and slow people down. Their base damage is also rather high. No, Teemo doesn't die in 75% of 1 v 1 situations.

Tell me, why doesn't "AD Teemo" work? He still deals quite a bit damage while being tnaky.

What is so good about AD Teemo? It pretty much takes away the whole purpose of his Blinding Dart, Toxic Shot's bonus ability damage on hit, Toxic Shot's poison damage over time, his Noxious Trap's initial ability damage, Noxious Trap's poison damage over time. And making those as strong as possible are essential for a good Teemo. Building attack damage for Teemo just doesn't work. I would understand if you were building a couple items for armor and magic penetration (Sorcerer's Shoes and Liandry's Torment) but it won't matter how much attack damage you have if you can't fight against their armor. In a 1v1 situation as AD Teemo, this build would get you killed 75% of the time.

Kappa den.

Janitsu, eat a Snickers. You build Teemo completely wrong when you're hungry.
