Seals

Greater Seal of Armor : These seals give you 12.69 extra armor. Teemo's base armor is very very low at a mere 14, so these will help defend against minion damage if you're an aggressive player and have to land that one auto attack, or reduce damage from enemy jungler's ganks. Each point of armor also gives you one percent of your maximum health (from damage reduction) as additional 'unseen' health.

---

Calculations:

In this build, there are three health quintessences, which give a total of 72 health. Teemo's base health is 383, so:

383 + 72 = 455 health

Teemo's base armor is 14, so with armor seals he has:

14 + 12.69 = 26.69 armor

As said above, each point of armor gives 1 % of your maximum health as additional unseen health (in the form of damage reduction). So:

1/100 x 455 = 4.55 health per point of armor you have.

26.69 x 4.55 = 121.44 additional health against physical attack.

Please tell me if you calculations are wrong :)

Greater Seal of Replenishment : If you feel like you're running out of mana due to W and Q spam, consider these. These are more geared for early - mid game, when you'll be mainly pushing lanes and placing down mushrooms.

Greater Seal of Scaling Mana Regeneration : If you think you can manage your mana well, but start spamming mushrooms every chance you get without looking at your mana pool, you should probably start training your screen awareness. Otherwise, try out these. Although Greater Seal of Scaling Mana Regeneration and Greater Seal of Replenishment reach their equilibrium at level 6, you'll probably want Greater Seal of Replenishment if you're an aggressive laner.

Greater Seal of Vigor : If you think that you can dodge skillshots and auto attacks well enough, but still take a bit of unnecessary damage, try these. Play in a very jumpy fashion when you have these, harassing with your Q but immediately backing out to let your health regenerate a little bit before returning into the skirmish.




Greater Glyph of Magic Resist : These runes give you 12.06 bonus Magic Resistance at level 1 (42.06 total). As with the armor seals, these are geared towards a safe and standard build. You'll take less damage from haraas and can usually come out on top. Late game, these aren't as effective but sometimes they can protect you just enough to get that First Blood money.

---

Greater Glyph of Attack Speed : If you are an aggressive player and think you can manage your health well enough to come out on top of trades, take these to deal more damage during the exchanges. However, you may well lose the exchange because you didn't take Magic Resist glyphs. Your choice.

Greater Glyph of Ability Power : Used for early game, this makes your harass with your E a lot more deadly. But it's the same as it is for Greater Glyph of Attack Speed, you might die from the opponent's spells because you didn't have enough magic resistance.

Greater Glyph of Scaling Magic Resist : If you're a very passive player and you think that there's a possibility the enemy AP Carry could become fed/get one or two kills, get these just for safety.

Brute Force 3/3 (+3 Attack Damage) - 3 points in brute force will help you a little bit with last hits, but not largely so. Mainly take these to get down to the Armor Penetration.

Mental Force 4/4 (+4 Ability Power) - Again, only took these to get down to Magic Penetration. But although the help is only of slight use, it's there, so you might as well take it.




Alacrity 4/4 (+4 Attack Speed) - I don't want to be rude, but I personally think this is one of the most useless items on the Offense tree, or on masteries in general. The 4% attack speed increase is virtually nonexistent, but take it to get down to Weapon Expertise .

Sorcery 4/4 (+4 Cooldown Reduction) - As Teemo, you shouldn't be spamming your skills so much early game due to his extremely small mana pool and extremely high mana costs. However, the miniscule cooldown reduction might possibly be enough to use W just when you need it, so take these to get down to Arcane Knowledge .




Weapon Expertise 1/1 (+10% Armor Penetration) - Armor penetration should help you deal quite a larger amount of damage. Usually, if the enemy caster has a 'typical' rune page, as shown in Build 1, they should have around 35-40 armor. This shaves off 4 of it and helps you deal more damage in harassing and in trades.

Arcane Knowledge 1/1 (+10% Magic Penetration) - As with Weapon Expertise , this will help your damage in lane, and coupled with Weapon Expertise and Teemo's E, he'll benefit from both Armor Penetration and Magic Penetration.



Although I personally don't take any points in Tier 4, you might consider points in Vampirism for the slight sustain or Blast for the 1 extra AP p/level. I find putting 17 points into Tier 1-3 much more beneficial, however.



Sunder 3/3 (+6 Armor Penetration) - Very useful in lane due to the low armor of enemy champions and minions. Coupled with Weapon Expertise and Arcane Knowledge , you should have a much easier time in lane.



Executioner 1/1 Increases damage dealt by 6% to targets below 40% health - Teemo's harass is usually enough to bring them down to below 40%, and with a good gank from the jungler or any form of damage from another lane should be enough to kill your lane opponent.

Recommended Choices

Other Spells

Exhaust - If you think that Flash is unnecessary or you feel like you can't Flash over walls well enough, this is very useful both early game and late game. During early game, you can surprise an enemy with Exhaust and get a kill.

Heal - Replace Ignite with this is for early game Heal baits or surviving a tower dive. Replace Flash if you think you can easily win the lane and want to completely dominate it. This is not recommended, however, because you would have Move Quick as your
only escape option. If snared, Move Quick would also be rendered useless.

Revive - Not really recommended, but you could save towers with this and get a free kill on the enemy. Due to its long cooldown, I wouldn't recommend getting this.

Smite - Only take this when jungling or if you feel like running a Smite Revive troll game with friends.

Surge - As with the Heal Ignite combo, only take this when you're feeling lucky/know or strongly feel that you can win your lane. Best coupled with Exhaust, Surge is really only useful early game.

Cleanse - If their enemy jungler has strong ganking potential, consider taking this to counteract them. I wouldn't recommend this spell because of the experience it requires to time the cc disables. Replace Flash for an aggressive lane or replace Ignite for a safer one.

Clarity - If you can't manage your mana as Teemo, you really should learn how. If you want to spam your Q a lot on the enemy, then take this. It really only comes in handy if you're out of mana for Move Quick while you're running away to flash over a wall. Not recommended, though.

Promote - Take this if you think that the enemy would be either extremely difficult to lane against or if you gank a lot and need to push your lane with the promoted super minion. Replace this with Ignite if you decide to take it. Best coupled with Teleport.

Teleport - If you want to gank a lane, you can quickly return to yours after a quick recall and item buy. Used with Promote, it's very useful early game to promote a super minion, gank a lane, then Teleport straight back to yours.

Clairvoyance - Your support should really be taking this, but it's not really useful anyway. As Teemo, you should be warding critical spots all around the map.
