You can just eat all her damage if you decide on ROOKERN
Strat:
It is more likely that Camille bans Teemo than it is to play against her. (I learned Jax just because of that)
If you face her, go NASHOR and SWIFTIES.
Wait out her passive, it has along CF early
Save your Q for here Q2 or her all in.
Poke her when possible, her sustain is bad.
Cassiopeia
GOOD BAN
(even if you deny her being picked in mid, as a Cass will often swap with her top-laner, if you have an easy match-up)
Strat:
MALIGNANCE 1st can help with farming with Qs and Shrooms.
You only beat her level 1, and maybe 2 if you can dodge her Qs.
After that, just farm and scale. Post 6 always be reeady to flick your mouse back to dodge her R stun. Its just an experience you gain to tell, when a Cass is about to ult.
A little easier now that she cant have 2 items, while you are stuck with boots and half an item.

Strat:
Runes depend on how well you dodge her Qs.
You lose all-ins early, but some MR can help.
Her Jump CD resets if she hits the target with a Q, so be careful. If you know its on cooldown look to play aggressive, as she can only trade back with a Q.

Early CLOTHARMOR can help a lot and build into PLATED, ZHONYAS or RANDUINS.
Post 6 try not to Q and R him at the same time, as his W would get too much value cleansing both
Strat:
His boomerang will go back to him, once it hit a minion, so you are safe behind your wave.
Make sure you dont get run down by a series of W procs. Back off when he has two stacks, or blind him to fight.
If he has Mega, back off.

Honestly, I do not know, no matter what set-up I use, the lane is really hard. He outranges you from the get-go and can farm from 5 screens away. Any trade back is nulled or lost by his hammer knock-back (if only this was an empowerd autoattack)
Your best bet is still SUSTAIN.
Dont ever fight him if he still has all abilities up and poke while he is in hammer-form. Dont let him range-Q you and the wave at the same time. If possoble stand next to the wall when he knocks you, as it shortens the distance with no punishment for being next to the wall like f.e. Vayne.
The only saving grace is, that you outscale him quite hard.
Strat:
Fight early as much as you can. After two items she either clears the wave in 1 second as AD, or snipes you with 2 Ws as AP.
She does a lot of missing health damage, so make sure to be aggrressive, while your health is topped up.
Strat:
Try to cheese her early, fight as much as you can. Once she hits 11, you can only try and farm.
NASHOR to build or extend a lead.
Dont worry about her W, its as useless as yours level 1.
Overall averages out to an even match-up, even though it has a downwards trend post 6.
Strat:
Hide in the wave from his Q. This also works to greatly reduce dismounted Kleds QQ damage.
Dont make Kled dismount with Q / use it right before. The beating you will get from his W, that you cant blind, will basically remount him, while leaving you battered and bruised.
As soon as you hear his ult back away from his tower and or recall under yours.
Strat:
If he has CLEANSE go MALIGNANCE and just throw out shrooms.
If he doesnt go NASHORS.
Try to bait out his W, as the cooldown is long, and his range is even longer with it.
You wont win 1v1 in the early levels, if he has LETHAL TEMPO.
His skillshot are all quite easy to dodge. If ou get hit by one, back off.
Strat:
Normally the Damage set-up is better, but for the off-chance he might go AFTERSHOCK, PR is required, to not get exploded after 6. You can also look at the jungler to make your choice.
He can beat you quite hard level 2-5. Try to stick to short trades, as one Q3 can mean most of your health.
Go LIANDRYS first in most cases
Early NULLMANTLE can build into MERCURYS or preferable if realistic WITS END
Eat his Q while its still level 1 for his worst dmg/mana useage.
Bait out his Q while his MANAFLOW BAND and/or COMET are on cooldown.
Poke him from time to time to deny his passive *** often as possible.
After 6 you cant really poke him as much as you are in kill range at 50% HP.
Flashing his R is worth it
If he builds full tank, remember his Q damage maxes out at level 9, while you are getting more HP,HP regen and MR.
After he completes HOLLOW RADIANCE just focus on farming, as you wont be able to keep up otherwise.

If the Nasus is good, he will just go full sustain, to farm as much as possible and ignore you.
Dont step up too much without PR.
It doesnt matter how many stacks he has, when he is blinded. Nasus late and very late game is quite overrated, as he can only Q and W one peron at a time. He is also one of the worst split-pushers as he has to slow down his clear to get every minion with a Q.
If he goes full AP, just buy some eraly MR and this match-up is eben easier. (2/10)
Strat:
Push him in perma. NASHORS first item.
Dont let him Q you and the wave.
Hold your Q if he ever Es you, right before it procs, as most Nocturnes will use their W preemptivly. Noc top is a nerf to the champs, as his R-range is alot shorter than you think at 6.
PR SWIFTIES PF SWIFTIES PR SWIFTIES PR SWIFTIES are so good versus him, you almost dont need anything else.
Careful not to get run down level 1, as its quite hard to proc PR.
If he ults, your Q and R are useless, which is why he is a hard match-up statistically.
I promise you, PR + SWIFTIES and GHOST for GHOST turns him from hydrogen-bomb to caughing baby. So if nothing else, take this guides advice serious for this match-up.
Strat:
Rush SWIFTIES, else its very hard to dodge his E, if he hits his Q.
Blind him if he comes charging in, because he will W and try to proc his brittle. Just focus on CS after he gets one item, as you will deal no damage and have less waveclear than him.
Its quite easy to dodge one of his Rs, if you dont telegraph your movement.

As long as you dodge his cage and e, you should be fine.
Ghouls will proc you SECOND WIND and give you stacks for ABSORB LIFE and OVERGROWTH.
Post 6 you will be shoved under tower in by his maiden. Worth to sac a few minions, if you can kill her. Yorick falls of quite hard if he ever has to join a team-fight.

Frequency: 2/10
Annoyance: 5/10
Difficulty: 2/10
Summs:
FLASH TP
Runes:
DAMAGE
O2:
RUSH
Strat:
As Teemo is his best counter, you will see Teemo banned more often than the Match-Up itself. (Anyone with range works, I go back to old reliable Malphite)
But if you face him as Teemo rush O2 with NASHOR.
A base-level of difficulty and annoyance is given, as he is still a 2025 creation, even if the Match-Up is free.
Strat:
Rush O2 and NASHORS. Keeep the heal-cut on him, as one rotation of his can quickly make 4 blobs to heal him. He will most likely rush SPIRIT VISAGE.
Dont get baited by him if his passive is up.
Dodge his Q, or blind his auto after to deny the pull for you or a team-mate. Even match-up as his all-in can one-shot you, even if he builds full tank. If he goes full ap and you play the same as you would vs tank Zac, more of a 3/10
Strat:
HP and ARMOR are mandatory. Its fine to slow down your scaling by dropping cs, if it means he does not snowball.
Go LIANDRY into ZHONYAS. If he ever hits something just back off.
It started with me going DORANS SHIELD into Malphite and GP, as it is legit the best choice there. Then I tried D-SHIELD it other Match-Ups, because minions kept hitting me, way longer than they should, whenever they wanted. (not cope I swear).
Soon after I only took D-SHIELD always.
I started going TP/GHOST along side D-SHIELD, as I never really liked IGNITE, just for the tempo alone, you lose by being down a TP (in Season 16 I will still not go IGNITE and will just take GHOST, with a free TP, or stick with my empowered TP -- we shall see)
I also always loved OVERGROWTH and HP in general on Teemo (I am that person who builds HEARTSTEEL on everyone possible in ARAM). Those extra HP synergies perfectly with tankier items, which I pick on a regular.
I have also lost the ability to play Teemo "normaly". I rely on the sustain and do not have the aggressive play-style to back up full damage set-ups anymore. That is why I dont ever go a full damage rune set-up with DH or ELECTRECUTE, even if those are perfectly viable on Teemo in the right situation.
Why does it work?
Teemo is already quite "tanky" against skill-shots as your model is small and you are nimble (Why not help that even more?). You can blind auto-attacks, which are a huge source of damage for many champs. Going more into sustain is the right choice anyway. into champs that out-range and poke you.
Teemo is unique, as you can max your base damage on your poke/dot at level 9 already.
Many champs like Darius, Twitch, Mordekaiser etc. have to wait until level 18 instead.
So putting resources into HP/sustain and mobility early doesnt gut your damage in the long run.
Also your Q will always blind the same, your W will always be the same speed and your R will always slow the same. Teemos utility is not reliant on you being aahead or AP heavy.
Add to it all, that Teemo is one of the best scalers, and you will be in good hands.
Teemo has a set-up, be it Runes or Items, to beat (almost) anyone.
Who to ban?
I like to look at it like a 3d coordinate System of:
Frequency - How often do you see this champ Annoyance - How Annoying is the Champ/Lane Difficulty - How hard is the Match-Up
Scored out of 10
If they score high on average they are a good ban. No need to ban a hard Match-Up, if you rarely see them top. No need to ban a common Match-Up just cause if its annoying. No need to ban an annoying Match-Up if its easy.
I mostly ignore the real stats, as they dont reflect my Builds/Runes/Playstyle and personal opinion.
The frequencies might be very differnet for you, but I always take first-pick if my team wants to swap, so some champs are more/less common for me than they might otherwise be.
Have fun!
If you win a lot, make sure to thank me, spread the word.
If I make you lose, I dont know who wrote this trash, and maybe we get some Teemo buffs.
I hope you learned a thing or two looking at Teemo from another angle! I will add and update matchups as I get to play them. Enjoy!
