PASSIVE

Teemo's bread and butter passive. Because of the extra attack speed your ideal strategy is to use this while taking buffs. Execute the stealth properly for bonus burst damage or a sneaky get away. Furthermore, use his passive in bushes near top & bottom to execute lane ganks! How to use: If a lane is pushed, sneak into the lane via the bushes, and execute a gank with your laner for a successful kill. Also, stealth in a lane where creeps don't see you, and rack in a free B. Works wonders making picks late game (play like an assassin)

Q

This is your only survival tool, if used properly. Make sure to ALWAYS prioritize BLINDING the enemy champion to negate auto attacks and it ensures your damage in the process. At max rank, this will buy 2.5 extra seconds of living and secure many kills for you! How to use: On a gank, make sure to use this last to ensure you get the kill, this has +100 range on your auto attack so its a good finisher! You can also use it when 1v1ing an auto based melee champ or adc to nullify their damage for a couple seconds! Keep in mind: Auto-Q-Auto is Teemo’s best combo for burst damage

W

Teemo's most FUN ability. It passively maximizes your movement speed making you truly the Swift Scout. The active on this ability will aid in chasing kills, escaping fights, and navigating the jungle efficiently. How to use: Using W from base to your camps will cut your travel speed by a decent amount. Also, using them to gank a lane is a GREAT substitute for a gap close. OF COURSE spamming W to run away from danger is a good way to use as well.

E

This ability is the BEST of the lot, ALWAYS MAX E. The bonus damage from auto attacks, and damage over time is BONKERS. This also pairs well with any AA enhancers (Nami E, Red Buff, Ardent Censor etc...).

W

Teemo's ICONIC ability. Most frustrating to play against, but most exciting to play with. With our signature build, these puppies will hit like a Mac Truck. Lay them down on cool down and reap in the freebies. How to use: Using your Shrooms to clear your jungle camps will increase clear speed by 100%! Shrooming around baron/drake when spawning is a great objective control tactic, also using shrooms in the waves or teamfights when they break out is the perfect use for them!

The BEST page for Teemo Jungle right NOW will 100% no questions asked be, PTA. It is very easy to proc 3 autos + a q to deal INSANE damage coming from the jungle. Between cutting a good angle on a gank, or your laner landing CC, the proc feels GURANTEED out of the jungle, making it the best page at the moment. Beserker's + PTA power spike also is insane. Amazing for teamfighting/skirmishing which is very common in the current meta, outvalues the other choices as well. I cannot stress the IMPORTANCE of Legend:Alacrity. It is the 1 rune that ties Teemo Jungle MUST HAVE to be a a contender. You start the game with 28% attack speed with the addition of this(Passive 15%, 10% runes,3% scaling w/ Alacrity). When you combine these raw stats with Hunter’s Machete it makes it for a nice and easy clear! This rune is extremely undervalued. % dmg UNDER 40% synchronizes SO WELL with your poison and shroom, essentially your whole kit. This helps secure many kills and helps you pop off and win those teamfights. Again, paired with Triumph and your kit -this all brings it together.

Teemo does NOT need boots early game in the jungle because of his W, it's a free pair of boots. This allows you to prioritize damage Summoner spell haste is great for more and faster smites. The item haste also works well with zhonyas/ludens.

Ingenious

Premiere rune vs squishy team comps. Stronger earlier game than it's counter parts and is OP on teemo with the synergy when you build nashors first item. Cheap Shot does TRUE dmg which procs on both Q and R! Gives 30 ap… LOL it's good. Reduces the cooldown on LUDEN'S which is the best item for HoB (vs squishy teams remember) - also works with zhonya's if you build that!

Path:

Red Buff -> Krugs -> Wraiths -> Blue Buff -> Scuttle -> Gank Top/Mid/Bot(Depending on what side you are) OR farm Wolves Gromp

I want to explain for a second why this is the BEST path for Teemo Jungle.

Teemo has absolutely no need for blue buff level 1, so starting blue is downright subpar. Starting red not only slows the camps every auto, but also grants more damage and health sustain, all amazing for this yordle to get rolling.

Krugs will grant the most experience and gold and you can kite these camps out to maintain high health and clear them efficiently.

Wraiths next will be to pop ur level 3 at a fairly easy point in the game, and to keep your experience head.

Blue is 4th camp and will give you the mana at this point, and you actually heal off this camp because of how well you can kite it.

AT THIS POINT, after killing BLUE it will be about 3:10-3:15 into the game and our path lands at perfectly at scuttle crab to contest or take it.

AFTER DOING SCUTTLE, you have plenty of choices, and this is where jungling starts to kick in.

Option A: Gank top/mid/bottom - BEST choice because ganking is king right now, snowball = win.

Option B: Counter-jungle - 2nd Best choice to limit your opposing junglers gold. Take his camps = more xp for you less for him.

Option C: Farm your gromp/wolves - Not a bad choice, base after.

^^ after picking any of these options, you path to Krugs and then you get to jungling, GL SUMMONERS!

Red Buff -> Rift Scuttlers -> Counter Jungling -> Dragon (tip: get there 20's before spawning) -> Rift Herald -> Gromp & Wolves -> Razorbeaks/ Krugs .

These prios are like this for the following reasons:

#1 - Red Buff on Teemo is OP, his auto's hit so hard and slow,blending his kit together. You can 1v1 many people lv 2-3 with red buff and it is the most important camp for you.

#2 - Rift Scuttlers are second because they give you gold/xp and DENY the enemy jungler gold/exp. They also heal you and take little time to kill. The added vision and a speed boost they give you as well contributes to your ganks and objective control.

#3 - Counter Jungling became VERY good with the removal of catch-up exp and increase rate of jungle camps spawning. Make sure to peak in their jungle whenever possible and prioritize this at all stages of the game!

#4 - Dragons (with the new preseason changes) ARE OP!! MUST GET THEM ON SPAWN! Arrive 20's before the spawn to help your team prep the buff.

#5 - Rift Herald now spawns TWICE before 20 minutes! Easy gold by taking up to 2 turrets! very valuable, much wow!

#6 - Gromp & Wolves - These camps recently got buffed in exp and gold and take prio over krugs razorbeaks! Only use them to fill your route on your way to gank!

#7 - Krugs & Crimson Raptor - These camps recently got nerfed in exp and gold and take the least prio out of any jungle! Use them to fill your route as well.

With the OPness of Sweeping Lens SHROOMING RANDOM SPOTS ON THE GROUND IS NOT THE WAY TO GO.

Use your shrooms the following way:

#1 - CLEARING jungle camps quicker. Shrooming razorbeaks, krugs, buffs will increase your clear speed by 40% which means more ganks, more farm, more objectives.

#2 - TEAMFIGHTING - throwing out shrooms in teamfights will gurantee them to go off on melee champs, and maybe catch a kill or 2 on an escaping noob.

#3 - STOPWATCH/GA/ZHONYA'S - if ANY champion on the enemy team has any of these items, save 1 shroom for them. Very easily toss it on their stasis body and its a free b waiting to enter your kill column!

Teemo has a surprisingly good team fight ability (no troll). There are 2 ways to go about it.

If you are FED, AHEAD, CONFIDENT - you can play AP Teemo similar to a mid-lane assassin. You will be able to 1-shot their carries and clean up extremely well. His Q -> E -> ignite combo while AHEAD does insane damage!

If you are EVEN, BEHIND, UNSURE - play AP Teemo similar to an ADC. Kite back and auto attack anybody that gets near you, Teemo is pretty decent at shredding tanks! Wait for the perfect opportunity and a lucky shroom to be able to clean up and ace them.

It's IMPORTANT to assess the situation beforehand so always keep an eye on YOUR items and level and their items/level!

I hope that this maximizes your play on Teemo Jungle and helps people see that he is a VIABLE jungler! With any off meta pick you can expect sometimes people won't understand that you're there to help your team win. Remember to keep your head up and never stop improving.
