Teemo Passive Ability

Introduction

Hello everyone in MOBAfire. My name is Taggio (NA server) and I've been playing this game for about a year and a half. At first did not understand much of the game, but then eventually I began to understand what was the game about. More than six months of play were with Teemo and I would like to introduce you in all the ways that Teemo can be played.

Well, before proceeding with the guide I would like to note that I speak Spanish and that I'm using the translator for the guide, so I appreciate that if you find any spelling error in the guide to tell me. Also, I would like to know why you upvote or downvote my guide, so don't forget to leave a comment below (:

Teemo Himself

is a legend among his yordle brothers and sisters in Bandle City. As far as yordles are concerned, there is something just slightly off about him. While enjoys the companionship of other yordles, he also insists on frequent solo missions in the ongoing defense of Bandle City. Despite his genuinely warm personality, something switches off inside 's mind during combat so that the lives he must end while on patrol do not burden him. Even as a young recruit, the drill instructors and other trainees found it a little disconcerting that, while was normally charming and kind, he turned deadly serious and highly efficient the minute combat exercises began. 's superiors quickly steered him toward the Scouts of the Mothership, which is one of Bandle City's most distinguished Special Forces unit alongside the Megling Commandos.

While most yordles do not handle solo scouting missions with a great deal of finesse, is remarkably efficient at them. His record of success in defending Bandle City from infiltrators easily makes him one of the most dangerous yordles alive, though you'd never know it by having a cup of honey mead with him at his favorite inn. Bandle City chose as their first champion for the League, and he has taken to it like a duck to water. His signature weapon - a blowgun - uses a rare ajunta poison he personally gathers from the jungles of ***ungu. To help cope with his lengthy periods of isolation, recently struck up a friendship with , a fellow League champion and fellow member of Bandle City's Special Forces. This connection is healthy for both yordles, though now Valoran's voracious media outlets circulate rumors that the friendship is turning into a romantic relationship. Regardless, is a crowd favorite in the League of Legends, and a pint-sized foe that many have come to fear.

'' rides a thin line between chipper compatriot and unrepentant killer, but there's no one else I'd rather have as a friend.'' - Tristana

• Gives free kills to your when you know how to place Noxious Trap correctly.
• Noxious Trap deal very good damage.

Skills & Skill Sequence

Teemo is a champion that can be played in a lot of different ways, but in this guide, I'm going to teach you how to play him as an AP Caster and as an AD Carry. To be played as an AP Caster his most powerful (yes, let's call it like that) spell will be his Blinding Dart while if we play him as an AD Carry it will be his Toxic Shot. Let's see why:

______________________________________________________________________________

Camouflage

• This is 's passive. Is useful in many ways, so as to protect your jungler by being a ''free ward'' or to take advantage of your mobility () and go away the time required to get invisible.

Pro's:

• + Free stealth
• + Great for surprise attacks.
• + Not a great scape mechasinm, but a viable one.

Con's:

• - Hard to calculate non-stealth and stealth time when you start with the champion.
• - Can be countered with Oracle's Elixir or Vision Ward.

______________________________________________________________________________

Blinding Dart

• This is 's Q ability and his main source of damage as an AP Caster. As an AD Carry the damage is not that great, but it helps a lot to counter the enemy AD Carry.
What I mean by this? 's (as the name says) blinds the enemy that it hits, causing it to miss all his next AA's for the next 1.5 / 1.75 / 2 / 2.25 / 2.5 seconds.

Pro's:

• + Great nuker by playing AP .
• + Synergizes great with and
• + Nice spell to counter the enemy carry.

Con's:

• - Is not that fast.
• - Well that's no real con, but enemy's can still cast spells.

______________________________________________________________________________

Move Quick

• This is 's W ability. Is a great ability from early to late game since it ups your movement speed. This helps a lot for chasing/scaping and prevents to be extremely necessary to buy boots. But that's not all, this ability also has an active that it doubles the bonus movement speed received from it (Yes, kinda' of a ) for 3 seconds.

Pro's:

• + Free !
• + Great chasing mechanism.
• + Great scaping mechanism.

Con's:

• - If gets damaged you lose the bonus movement speed, and if you don't have boots it makes you totally vulnerable.

______________________________________________________________________________

Toxic Shot

• This is 's E ability and it's 's main source of damage by being played as an AD Carry. Since it consumes ability power (+0.14 per ability power) on-hit and (+0.14 per ability power) over-time it's a great source of damage by being played as an AP Caster too.

Pro's:

• + Great damage dealer.
• + Synergizes great with , , and .
• + You don't just deal extra on-hit damage, you poison your target too.

Con's:

• - Can be damage-reduced if the enemy team gets magic resist.

______________________________________________________________________________

Noxious Trap

• This is 's ultimate. I love this shrooms, they are just perfect: they give you map-awareness/control (Which may determine some games) and deal tons of damage if played AP Caster Teemo. I will not extend more here, because I'm going to dedicate a whole chapter to this babes.

Summoner Spells

My chosen summoner spells are Flash and Ignite. Why? Well, since flash has been nerfed it isn't as useful as it was. However, I find it as the best option, since you have your own Ghost ( Move Quick). Ignite is the second summoner spell I choose cause it synergizes great with Toxic Shot and Noxious Trap's poison.

______________________________________________________________________________

However, there are other viable summoner spells that i didn't putted and I would like to explain why I didn't picked them as the best summoner spells for .

______________________________________________________________________________

I find is a useful summoner spell, but not for , since he has his own (). However, if you feel necessary to pick this spell because you are used to play with it, do it, but i don't recommend it.

______________________________________________________________________________

Cleanse is not bad on since he gets focused a lot in teamfights, but i don't feel like you are totally in need of it if you know what's your place in the fight. Also, there's an item that's quite similar to this ().

______________________________________________________________________________

This summoner spell can be quite deadly on if you know where to put all over the map for a perfect map control. However, I don't recommend it.

______________________________________________________________________________

This summoner spell works well on . It gives a boost of attack speed and ability power, that synergizes well with , but i find is a better option. However, you can try this out, it's quite good too.

Item Selection

Well, I see that you read on, I am proud of that. Anyway, now I explain why I chose the objects that I choose:

_______________________________________________________________________________

_______________________________________________________________________________

The reason I take this item as a starter one is that it gives you 80 extra hp for survivability, 10 attack damage and 3% life steal (not that great, but it helps to stay longer in lane). When I started with I used to pick and 3 , but I realized that doesn't help at all to get first blood, and that's what

this guide is about.

I think this boots are the best choice for AD Carrys, since they give mobility and attack speed, which helps a lot for . Another viable boots are: (If there's too many CC in the enemy team).

After getting , the first 1050 gold invert it on a , when you get enough gold to finish it, go and do it. It's a great item for since it gives you 40% attack speed, some magic resist, and a great passive that synergizes great with (A on-hit effect that deals 42 damage to your enemies, and

increases your magic resistance by 5 stacking up to 4 times).

After getting your you should be able to win some battles by yourself, but it's time to build your main source of damage as an AD Carry. First of all you need to have 1000 gold to buy a so to farm and get enough gold to get a . Get the last gold to finish your to become a beast in fights. This item provides all you need, and it converts you into a tank destroyer.

Now that you hit really hard, you need a little bit of survivability. This item is perfect since it gives you a 700 extra HP, 20 AD, but the best of all is it's passive: you slow the enemy by 40% with every AA. I usually start building by and then the .

I find this item great for . Why you may be asking. Well, 's main source of damage as an AD Carry are his AA's, this item boosts your AA's with an on-hit passive that reduces the enemy armor by 15 per basic attack (max 3 stacks) what means you do up to 90 more damage with your AA's with this item since it gives you 55

attack damage and 30% attack speed too.

It's time to say goodbye to and say hello to Catalyst the Protector to then build . This item gives you a nice protection to nuker abilities like 's or it can also determine a vs fight, since you will be the that doesn't get blinded by . That's not

all, it also gives you 375 extra health and mana, and 50 magic resist.

_______________________________________________________________________________

I find this is the most solid item to begin with AP Caster since it gives you 80 HP and 5 mana regen, which helps to stay longer in lane and 15 AP. If you follow my runes, you will be beginning with a total of 53 AP, which helps a lot your to start nuking early game.

deals magic damage with all his abilitys (, and ). This boots are the best choice since the 20% magic penetration will make your abilities hurt a lot.

is 's item. Seriously, it gives you attack speed (50%) and ability power (25). It's great since it boosts the damage of all your abilities and helps with it's on-hit passive (20 bonus magic damage), and last but not least also reduces the enemy's magic resist by 6 per hit (with a max of -24 MR).

This is you bread n' butter item. It gives you the ability of chasing. You will give a slower-nuker with and you nuclear shrooms () will not just use their own slow, they will also receive the bonus slow of , making a total of 65% slow. Well, this item gives you a good amount of 500 extra HP,

and 80 ability power, which is great for .

It's time to say goodbye to and say hello to . It's like a 2.0 for . It gives a boost of 65 ability power and 50% attack speed,and not as useful, but nevertheless serves 10 mana regen. The best of all is it's passive, the 25% CDR helps a lot for mushroom placement and to spam more your .

Now that you got all the attack speed and CC you need, it's time to give a boost to your damage. gives a bunch of 140 ability power and a nice boost of your total ability power by 30%.

You now must be harrasing your enemies with your , this means that they will start to focus you in teamfights, that's why we need a little bit of survivability. I think this item suites perfect to the situation since it gives you 100 ability power and 50 armor, and last but not least, it also has an incredible defensive active: you become invulnerable and untargetable for 2 seconds. It's like having a mini- in your pocket.

Well, it's time to start to do great damage in fights, this is why we pick this babe. It's a very over-looked item on , but it's just perfect: ''When you use an ability your next AA hits an extra damage equal to your total ability power'' OMG! This means your + an AA will be dealing a damage near to 1100 magic damage in less

that 2 seconds. Trust me, get this sh*t.
