Turret hug, focus on CS and try not to feed. Rumble's range & ult will outplay you if they know how to use the champ. Use eggs to keep him slightly under control, otherwise... Play it safe and try to double-team to get the advantage.
Welcome
CONV3RG3 here! I'm still a fairly new player to League of Legends (I started Spring 2014) but after a couple hundred wins under my belt & a few requests for what I like to build on my Teemo, I figured I'd make a guide of what's helping me win with this under-appreciated champ.
Teemo can get a lot of flack for being a troll champ, but if you take him serious you can do some serious damage with him and give people a real reason to hate you.
Also, let's be honest.... watching people run into shroom gardens (or eggs in my case since I always play Cottontail Teemo) can be really satisfying.
In terms of defense, there's nothing better than helping your team defend or kite with a bunch of shrooms or kiting champs when you have to bail after over extending for a turret.
In terms of offense, the ability to do some serious CS wave clearing, tower destruction, sometimes even jungling & the possibilities for multi-kills is all fantastic thanks to Runnan's & this high AP build.
This is my first guide so I apologize if it's not as in-depth as some of the other guides. The key info is your items, runes & masteries. I'll add more on technique, shroom placement, and so on at a later date.

Quick note on the last screenshot. I initially went for my 'Final Build', but as you can see I earned quite a bit of gold (5k more than I needed) and some extra health allowed me to dive more, so I turned into what I like to call "Tankmo". My final build did great well into late game though.
Attack Speed is my 2nd biggest focus, on top of AP, for Teemo. This helps CS and hit much faster in comparison to most top champs.
Greater Seal of Armor - 9x
Essential for early game when you're in top lane with mostly AD champs.
Greater Glyph of Ability Power - 9x
Out of the 3 main rune types, the AP glyphs give the most AP per rune. So I get most of my AP via glyphs.
Greater Quintessence of Attack Speed - 1x
For the same reason as the Greater Mark of Attack Speed, but just a little extra boost to round these off.
Greater Quintessence of Ability Power - 1x
For the same reason as the Greater Glyph of Ability Power, but just a little extra boost to round these off.
Rune Stat Totals:
Ability Power: +21
Attack Speed: +20%
Armor: +9
By having 2 escapes, this allows me to build strong attacks early game (by not building my W more than once in early game) and then eventually having lots of speed to escape and stay alive when multiple champs focus me in late game. Plus, I rather let my build & and my abilities do my damage, so I typically never use anything but escapes.
Final Build:
After comparing all the different item combinations... the final build above has given me the highest AP, DPS, Health, & Movement Speed I can get in one combination without losing something crucial I need to push lanes & get my kills.
Also, just a note, I don't sell off my boots until it's time to buy Trinity Force, as none of my other items provide me with the movement speed & attack speed that it does. Keep your boots around until you can afford a full swap of TF. Being slow late game is not a good idea.
Final Build Against Fed AP Champ:
I understand the Maw of Malmortius is an AD item, but with the magic resist & life saving passive against fatal magic damage, it's a good pick to stay alive. Teemo is a hybrid, so the AD won't go unused. Between this and Zhonya's it's your best bet to stay alive against somebody who is killing you faster than you can deal damage.
That's it for now. If you have any comments, suggestions, etc. please feel free to leave a comment.
Good luck and have fun!
