Introduction


P.S. - This is a general build guide. I use this build throughout all lanes, so I only made one build.

Greater Glyph of Ability Power
I chose the ability power glyphs to have the highest AP possible at lvl 1. Other stats dont give you as much as straight AP would with his AP build. Makes him strong at early level too!
Greater Mark of Magic Penetration
Magic Pen. is one of the best stats on AP teemo as it makes basically everything he uses hit harder and make more of an impact, even though he was nurfed last patch, from a .4 to a .3 AP ratio on his

Greater Seal of Armor / Greater Seal of Scaling Health
Either one of these works well. Both will give you more survivability, but one makes you more of a bruiser(Scaling Health), while the other gives you early game survivability(Armor). They both serve

Greater Quintessence of Ability Power
Again, as with the Glyphs, you get AP quints to have the most AP you can get at lvl 1 while not sacrificing too much survivability.
Alternatives Choices:
Greater Glyph of Magic Resist
Greater Mark of Attack Speed
Greater Quintessence of Health
Greater Quintessence of Magic Penetration
Greater Quintessence of Attack Speed
Greater Quintessence of Life Steal


Offensive Tree

I chose this for the added benefit of 5 AP/AD when ignite is on CD, and also should you chose to pick them, the increased MS from



Since AS scales well with his


CD isn't as amazing as pure AP, Shred Damage, or Magic Pen, but it does help with the shroom production! I'm basically filling in point requirements to get to the next tier though, so 2% CD is a nice bi-product of filling requirements, no?

MOAR AP!! :D Even though its scaling per level, any AP early on helps.

Magic Pen, Magic Pen, Magic Pen! The more the better! :D Great for cutting through bruiser and tank magic resists.

More AP again :D

I take this because it synergizes well with Malady, Wit's End, and


Now this is a must to have as AP teemo. Increasing the AP for a flat percentage works amazingly well for everything teemo does.

Even though its only 5% increased damage to enemies below 50% health, that 5% can mean wonders when its stacked with all your shredding items,



Defensive Tree

For more survivability and bruiser-like capability, I throw points into here just for the plain fact that teemo is squishy if hes not built as a bruiser, so lets him get closer to that line of AP/AD carry/Bruiser.

For a little armor, I put 2 points into this. Its to satisfy a point requirement, but it also gives teemo a bit more survivability, especially at lvl 1 vs an AD champ.

For a little MR, I put 2 points into this. Just like


More health at lvl one for surviving those lvl 1-3 ganks, or just a lvl 1 invade/team fight. Great to survive and be more durable in lane against a high poke champ.

After that, its your choice between maxing






Alternatives
All of the above summoner spells are alternatives but not as good as the four that I compared. Situational they may be, but as this is geared towards SR only, they aren't as good as the first four.



Pros

Cons
- Ult countered by
![]() ![]() - Squishy - No escape mechanism when hit - Shortest Auto-attack range of any ranged champ - Squishy |
Overall, Teemo is pretty strong. He was even stronger before the nurf of his
Toxic Shot and
Noxious Trap, but can still be a major threat in the game. Mine up the map with as many mushrooms as possible and profit. A lot of the times you can actually get kills by luring people in thinking they can kill you when you're low, aka. the Teemo "Global Taunt" :D I use that to my advantage almost everytime hahaha.
