This build guide is WIP, expect changes, missing detail, and bad info. I plan to add a section explaining the build itself (including runes) and another giving some tips on how to play this build out properly in the future. For now, refer to the notes for further information on the respective build aspects.

I have no credentials to my name to show for. I've played a fair bit of Teemo and enjoy League of Legends on a casual basis. I have, however, gotten absolutely smitten with the interplay of the game's mechanics, especially with regard to what takes place on the off-meta scene. This build guide is my contribution to the community at large.

This was a build I originally crafted for Rossboomsocks' Algebraically Attempted series. I've decided to publish it here for the world to have, albeit under a different name because it hasn't actually appeared on Ross' series. I don't think people realize how destructive Teemo's kit really is. This build is all about maximizing its (psychologically) damaging potential even at the cost of playability. You pick this if you want to obliterate health bars regardless of the victim, as nothing less than a tank with 4000 HP and 300 MR will survive a shroom with more than 2/3rds of their health.

You can, if you feel like it, replace Demonic Embrace with any of the situational items listed. I personally find Lich Bane really fun, and recommend buying it as a 6th item as the outright ridiculous amount of AP this build gives makes an AA > Q > AA combo destructive. Replace Demonic with Mejai's if you want to terrorize the enemy ADC even more.

Nashor's I've included almost just as a nod to how broken the item is. It's obviously good on Teemo, but not really good for this build which attempts to maximize his natural scaling. (It's also for that reason we don't bother with the Precision skill tree.) You might find it useful in games where the enemy team can't be reliably bursted

Any of the others you may have to get in order to secure a win. Heal reduc is almost a must have with how much healing is in the game nowadays. Or if you play this mid, chances are you'll face assassins like LB or Zed and have to rush a Zhonya's or Banshee's just to get through the laning phase.
