This guy will be your worst nightmare. Blind him? He kicks you in the face. Winning (rarely) a duel? Kicks you away and runs or even kills you while you fly to your demise. Difficult to kill if you try to invade him. Difficult to outrun him if he invades you. This is by far Teemo's worst counter matched with Pantheon.
Kindred
You can blind Kindred and in case they use their ult you can put a shroom near them, wait for the blind cd and then shoot it right before it ends to end their life with your autos. Easy to countergank them also since they blow their abilities and don't expect you to come most of the times.
Pantheon
A total pain. Stops your autos. Stuns you. Has more burst. Stops some more autos. You are dead before you can even say GO TO HELL PANTHEON. Sometimes you might kill him with your mushrooms. Or, you can put a shroom when he jumps at you and use w when he stops on it to run away (if you are still alive).
Vi
This is a skill matchup in the sense that if you kite Vi and evade her Q, you win; however, if she's smart and uses her abilities afer you blind her and lands them all, you are probably dead. That, in a 'fair' duel, if you are more fed than her this won't matter.
Rengar
You can deny most of his damage by blinding him but he has way better ganks, and can invade you while you do your jungle (for example, when you use your Q). In duels though you will mostly always win unless he's more fed than you. Remember to kite using R and W after he gets close.
Amumu
You can potentially invade him and ruin his game. Also, early game he won't be much of a threat to you so you can safely farm or countergank his poor early ganks to capitalize on him. After lvl 6, you should watch out for his ult. If you survive his set of abilities, you can either kite him to death or run away putting a shroom between you.
Jax
Skill matchup, but easier than Vi. You need to anticipate him. There are two ways to beat Jax. One, win him in a mind-game of him stunning you because he has to get close and stun you but won't be able to attack you, plant a shroom, kite, win. Or, you can bait his e, and use your w to go back and forth (so his e goes off but he can't jump you) in case you have your boots already and then own him.
Xin Zhao
Xin will probably kill you if you stay in his face in a straight duel. Force his e on you, and use a shroom to later kite him to death. If ahead, even in his face you kick his ass hard.
Quinn
Use W to evade Q; if she uses E first, blind her so that she can't proc her autos on you and then auto her to death (Quinn is all about exploding 2-3 of her marks, I know this because she's my main along with Vayne). You can potentially destroy her early game by invading her or counterganking, and your biggest strength, my fellow Teemos, is R. At lvl 6 try to plant shrooms around places that she might gank, and you will force her off her ult and reveal her to your allies, thus making her kind-of useless and giving you time to react. Also, this can tilt her into playing the "seek mushy-mushrooms" game and wasting a lot of time.
Warwick
If he's not fed, anticipate him jumping on you by putting a shroom, survive his ult and then kite him to death. Easy job. Also, he has no escape so you can invade him and potentially destroy his whole game just by messing up his early farm. Also, since it's a devourer contest, if you start to snowball him scout around taking his big camp monsters and denying stacks; I assure you this tilts them so hard they might even AFK (although we all hate AFK people).
Ekko
Ekko. It's all about evading his Q and he will be useless to you. Early game he's weak and in case of a countergank you can really do a lot to him. After 6, you might not kill him unless he ults into a shroom, but still, if you force him to ult he will be very weak after that. If you are fed, though, you will totally annihilate him with or without his ult.
Jarvan IV
I. HATE. JARVAN. He can escape you, or even worse, invade you and kill you due to his mobility. His ult is horrible because he basically locks you into your death and you can't escape him unless you have Zhonya's, but again, it might only be a way to delay your death even in that case. The only way to win agaisnt him is to play smart, and try to encourage your teammates to survive the early game. You might have your chances but overall this is a difficult matchup nonetheless.
Tryndamere
Trynda. Unless he's overly fed (and even then) you have time to spam ctrl+4 on him, put shrooms around him when he ults and poison him hard. My build also has two slows and you have w to kite him, apart from the mushrooms, so you have 3 slows, a blind and mobility to play around this guy. Kinda easy for me at least.
Fizz
If you evade his ult, he's kinda useless, you just have to be careful not to use Q as he's using E or you will be put into a "fair" duel with him. Remember to use mushrooms when he's in your face and then kite him.
Nidalee
Nidalee is very easy because basically, it's hard for her to land spears on you, and if she does, she won't be able to use tiger Q and also realize that she's pouncing into a mushroom if she decides to go to you, so just blind, kite, laugh, kill.
Aatrox
Who plays this guy anyway? Haha, well, I used to play him a lot. Same story as Trynda. Blind denies his autos, and his abilities aren't that strong anyway. If he has his passive, put a mushroom on him while he's reviving and then finish him. Easy peasy.
Cho'Gath
Try to activate W before he silences you and then evade his Q. If he lands Q, you are probably dead. The two main weaknesses of this void monster are being prone to being invaded easily (thus you can kill him early game) and being easily counterganked after he's blown his abilities. Also, remember that if he kills one of your teammates with R he won't be able to finish you off. Also remember to kite him if he tries to come (and trust me, he will) near you. OM NOM NOM.
Fiddlesticks
Fiddles is easy if you know how to win agaisnt him. First of all, invading him is really easy. Just remember, wait for him to use W on a jungle creep, then finish the jungle creep yourself (so he doesn't keep lifestealing it and thus tanking your damage) and then finish him off, although he might use fear on you. If he tries to duel you, do the following: Wait for him to land his set on you while you auto him, then plant a shroom at his feet, use W back and forth, and win the duel. It might sound rather difficult but if you try it a couple of times it's easy and Fiddlesticks won't be able to use variations of his combo since it's really one-way (if you get what I mean).
Hecarim
Hecarim is difficult to invade in case he doesn't burn his E; he can also invade you and when you blind him he can still use Q, W and R agaisnt you. However, you can be smart and try to memorize his pattern so you can either countergank him or counterjungle him when he's busy ganking lanes. One thing, though; if you manage to kill him early game and get going with a lead, he will be a very easy to kill target. However, I don't recommend wasting your time chasing him unless you already have your two slows from your items, boots and smite, and you will most likely prefer to kill his teammates over him. One more tip: if you see him running towards you (or your teammates), use Q before his auto lands and you will negate a lot of damage!
Diana
Diana... she has a shield and even though you can blind her, she can kill you with her abilities. It's kinda difficult to evade her Q, but if you do, you will most likely win. You can invade her early game or countergank her. However after 6 don't try to follow her in her ganks because you will probably end up dead by having her jump to you and killing you.
Elise
Elise is the same story as Diana; you evade her E in human form, and you can try to duel her. But her early game is a real pain compared to Diana (who has a sucky early game) and she can invade you (instead of you invading her). You should try to survive the early game (encourage your teammates to do so and if you can't gank, go around lanes putting wards before 6). Remember that you outscale her really hard, so after lvl 6-9 in a 'fair' match you will probably win if you play according to my guide and playstyle.
Gragas
Just evade his Q or his E and you will destroy him. He is easily kitable but don't try to lose your position or he will either ult you into a dangerous situation or simply run away. You can invade him at levels 1-5.
Master Yi
This is a matter of denying him farm and making his life miserable. Watch out at lvl 6 and don't follow him when he ganks because he might turn around and Wuju-kick-your-ass. Also care for quicksilver sash. If his ult is off you win 100% (unless EXTREMELY FED). If it's on, use the damage from shrooms and Q and maybe you win (depends totally on each other's gold and level).
Nautilus
Nautilus disrupts you really hard and makes it a pain to kill him; he may even end up killing you only with his base damage. He is very susceptible early game. Also, if he ganks a lane, you can countergank him after he blows his abilities because he's easily kitable and has no other means of getting close to you.
Nocturne
Most dumb people would say you win vs this guy, but remember he has a freaking spell shield. Be smart, my little Yordles. To win vs this guy you need to get rid off his pesky shield, and then blind him. In order to do this, try to use your mushrooms to bait his shield. I'll explain it right here: if he tries to get to you without his ult, use W and try to evade his Q (although it's difficult), then put mushrooms between him and you and auto him. When he steps into the shroom he will use the spell shield thinking you will Q him right away, or will use it to block the mushroom. Just wait for the moment and blind him. If he ults you, try to put not one, but two mushrooms so that he will eat them both while he's trying to stick to you. In all this mayhem use your chilling smite and slowing actives (in case you have gunblade or bork) and if you succesfully blind him he's dead.
Olaf
Olaf is a pain but if you evade his axes and deny enough autoattacks he will die. Just care for his ult. You can invade him early game because he has no escape and poor dueling potential agaisnt you early game. If he invades you though, you will probably die, so be careful.
Nunu & Willump
Agh... Nunu. His E removes your core strengths from you: attack speed and movement speed. You will probably die agaisnt him unless you are either evenly fed or more fed than him. Don't waste your time trying to fight him and focus on farming and killing his other teammates. Also care for his invades and be very communicative with your teammates in case he decides to ruin your day.
Skarner
Skarner can be blinded but he can still use E and Q to stun you or his ult and then EQ. So to avoid this, use your W as he uses his own W and apply as many slows as you can to him. If you extend the duel for long enough, he will die. Also, when scouting, remove his altars but watch out because this will give our your position to the enemy team and viceversa; it's a secret detail from Skarner's passive that a lot of people ignore.
Shyvana
Shyvana is useless agaisnt you. Just don't make any mistakes early game that might get her going and if she doesn't invade you, invade her if it's safe.
Shaco
Shaco is a pain early game but no jester can troll the king of trolls. You can make his life miserable at lvl 2 in his jungle, so encourage your teammates to make him unable to use his traps on his first clear correctly by baiting a fake invade. One thing, though, don't start chasing him or you will either get lost, killed or a headache. With this guy you could potentially buy the Challenging Smite to reveal him but you give away the slow, so have that in mind.
Kayle
Kayle gets blinded, Kayle does nothing. Just watch out for her ult. Who uses Kayle in the jungle anyway since the devourer nerfs? :)
Kha'Zix
Kha can kill you if you don't play around with your shrooms or don't play smart throughout the game. Again, Challenging Smite works wonders agaisnt this bug if you plan to duel him. Your Q cancels his passive so have that in mind.
Malphite
This guy is like Nunu but he can't invade you. Don't waste your time trying to invade him. It's a though matchup but you must use all your tricks to outsmart him. A way to do this is by looking where he ganks, and invading the opposite side of the jungle stealing his big creeps and planting shrooms over there. If you do this several times and your teammates survive his ganks (let them know about your strategy so they don't call you troll or complain about no ganks) he will start falling (and rolling, hehe, like a rock) behind. Also, your mushrooms will reveal where he is and since you will do scouting duty you should (and WILL) put wards so they can see him even if he doesn't step on them.
Nasus
Jungle Nasus... HAHAHAHA. Easily invaded. Easily counterjungled. Easily counterganked. EZ GAME. The only way to lose this matchup (not talking about games, because it depends on all the lanes) is by being dumb. Have in mind, when he uses W on you, use chilling smite and put shrooms between you and him. Also, your Q denies his Q which is your main strength.
Poppy
Don't. Get. Close. To. Walls. That's all. Don't waste your time trying to kill her (unless you can actually kill her). Counterjungle a lot so that she gets behind, and control objectives. If you decide to countergank her try to focus the lane enemy and not her.
Dr. Mundo
You can't blind Mundo from throwing his machete at you because he does what he pleases, but he can't do as he pleases with your hellish mushrooms, so kite. And kite. And kite. This matchup is a contest of both farming and doing a good rotation of clears/camps/objectives.
Rek'Sai
If Rek'Sai decides to jump into your hellish maws then you just have to drop a shroom, laugh, blind her and kite her to death. In an even duel you will 90% win with your kite potential and damage denial. Just care for early invades and don't let Rek'Sai snowball your team. Help your team by providing vision of her and counterjungling to get her behind. If you are brave enough you can pull off a lucky kill at lvl 2 in her jungle since she's not that tanky, but do this at your own risk.
Udyr
You might think Udyr is the same story of "HAHA I BLIND YOU AND YOU DIE". No. He will probably get to you, stun you, and then scratch or burn you to death. Unless, you apply slows to him and kite him before inevitably getting in melee with him (unless he starts runing away after the kiting). Mushrooms are vital. This matchup might be difficult because he can deny you a lot of gold, countergank you, and will most likely kill you if he goes to your jungle while you are clearing camps. If this last thing happens, enjoy the snowball and your subsequent demise.
Tahm Kench
Tahm Kench... this guy packs a punch. Or a tongue. Whatever. If he manages to lick your furry face you will probably die. Try to blind him and run away before he manages to lick you once again and eat you. If he misses his Q you win, though. It's a matter of keeping him at bay.
Volibear
Volibear runs into you. Oh, wait, he stepped into a shroom, oh, he got smited, oh, he got slowed by gunblade/bork. Time to auto him to death. Flawless victory. Or, he flips you and you blind him. Just watch out for his bites, and if you fight him in a point where he's really tanky don't waste your time. You might probably need support from someone to keep him still while you shoot him down to death.
Wukong
This is a complicated thing to explain. If he uses W and you Q his W, you are dead. However, if he doesn't use Q and tries to EQ you, blind him and he will start doing his Q animation 2-3 times because of the blind. You have that time to apply a couple of autos, a mushroom and then winning the duel by chasing him with your W. Don't underestimate his ult, though. Also, Challenging Smite works for this guy.
Irelia
Better nerf Teemo. This lady will jump into you and fail every single auto. If she uses Q she won't be able to chase you down and even if she stuns you, she won't be able to do much being blinded and all that. Also, she is easily invadable and Teemo is the embodiment of her true counter.
Twisted Fate
Yes, some people use TF in the jungle, even with the nerfs. Just blind this gypsy and show him who's the boss.
Welcome to my guide about Jungle Teemo. Most people consider this a troll pick but it's extremely hard to use well and extremely fun! For me Teemo works best at the jungle working as a marksman/assassin with a focus on hybrid DPS! He's really powerful when properly used so let's get started!
Jungle Path
Jungle Path
You want to start where your bottomlane is, or in case you want to invade, golems and get red, then go straight to the enemy jungle (in case the enemy jungler started his red and goes to his blue). You can then start snowballing. If you don't invade, here is the most important tip about using Jungle Teemo: KITE. A LOT. Get it into your head and muscles. You will evade so much damage just by running away from camps (if they are melee) and autoattacking them. Don't be afraid to lose some patience from the monster camp, or simply use Q when you are about to turn to run to the other side so it will miss its auto. Once you master this you will be able to get to kill slow camps like the blue buff without taking ANY damage even at level 2 or so.
When ganking, make sure you save your W for when you show up so that you can move between auto attacks and cut distance between you and the enemy. It's really powerful. The real ganks start when you actually get the Chilling Smite and believe me, Teemo packs a punch in exchange of his lack of hard cc.
Teamfights
Teamfights
Okay, so this one is really important. In teamfights you want one of these two: to catch someone off by having him step in your shrooms and you killing him before it starts, or have the enemy team initiate onto your team in an area that you have set up! That means, planning and letting your teammates know. Also, save at least two mushrooms for the teamfight. One goes to you. One goes to your ADC. And one goes for the middle of the teamfight. When a teamfight starts, you want to be very far away from the cc. Your most important mission is peeling and protecting the ADC. However, this is only a masquerade. If everything goes well, after 5-6 seconds you will end up dealing TONS of damage (a lot more than your ADC) after charging up your mastery and guinsoo's and you will most likely obliterate the remaining enemies. You can also use your W to chase down or have them step into mushrooms if you have placed even more before everything. But remember, one stun on you -> you are probably dead, my fellow yordle. You are a glass cannon. A murdering fluffy glass cannon.
Pros / Cons
Pros / Cons
Well, here are the pros and cons
PROS:
-Nice map mobility
-In good hands you can totally anihilate the enemy team and they will feel trolled and angry at you.
-If you have good ADC mechanics (I happen to be an ADC (Vayne and Quinn) main) Teemo will work practically the same and he can even deal greater damage late game even if you feel like you have "few" AP or AD. Remember, it's a hybrid build, and highly focused on attack speed and survivability! The more you survive, the more and more damage you will start dealing!
-OBJECTIVE CONTROL. This is the best pro from jungle Teemo because you can even frustrate the enemy team with your OP mushrooms when you place them well.
-Epic DPS. He can deal more damage than an ADC and this is no joke. Despite his lack of range you have tools to make up for it and your main strength is being able to set up your territory. If you want to start a teamfight, plan everything and don't facecheck or fight without making use of your mushrooms.
Well, not everything can be perfect, and comes with its cons, so here we go!
CONS:
-Extremely hard to use well.
-Can suffer a lot if you don't kite the jungle monsters.
-If you get a little behind you can be discouraged and enrage your teammates. Also, very easy to get snowballed hard. Remember, after you get devourer you start dealing damage. The first 5 levels or so should be taken with extreme care and always have in mind the risk of a failed invasion! It can work both ways!
-It's Teemo. Everyone hates Teemo (except me and some of his followers). TEE HE HE HAHAHA
