I play on the NA server. I'm currently Iron 4 for full disclosure, because lol. I am a Teemo/Akali main with Mastery 7 on 9 champions. Teemo is one of my favorite champions simply because of how annoying he can be, how cute he is and how much rage he can inflict onto the enemy team. My absolute favorite role to play Teemo is the jungle.

This guide is based heavily on a similar build used by HikashiKun, a well-known Teemo player who also has a guide on Mobafire.

I always start with Hunter's Machete then into Hunter's Talisman before completing Skirmisher's Sabre. After Skirmisher's Sabre, I rush at least one (maybe two) Vampiric Sceptres to begin the lifesteal spam. Once the sceptres are complete, I then rush to complete Smirmisher's Sabre - Bloodrazor. This allows you to have a nice combination of attack speed and lifesteal, which is the focus of this on-hit build. After completing Bloodrazor, I then move into completing Runaan's Hurricane. This allows you to auto-attack multiple units at once and helps begin the gold snowball. While working to complete your build, it's good to get some Berserker's Greaves for the extra attack speed. You now have enough attack speed and lifesteal that you can begin to out-tank a lot of champions simply through your lifesteal and how fast you can attack them, especially with Lethal Tempo activated. I then move into Wit's End to add a lot of on-hit damage and attack speed to the auto-attacks and also steal some magic resistance. After completing Wit's End, I move into Guinsoo's Rageblade, which helps push your attack speed even higher and gives you the Guinsoo's Rage bonus which allows on-hit effects to apply twice. From there, I either complete Hextech Gunblade or Blade of the Ruined King, depending on whether I need Gunblade's AD/AP/lifesteal more or BOTRK's attack speed more. Gunblade is beautiful because it gives you AP for your mushrooms while healing you for every type of damage you inflict.

I always start E (and max E first) because E is what gives you the poison on your auto-attacks. This is a heavily auto-attack reliant build and E is perfect for that. After getting E first, I get Q because Q is great for blinding opponents and adding extra damage. Q is good because you can poke enemies with it and prevent their auto-attacks from hitting you. It's also good for keeping their auto-attacks off of minions. I get W third but I don't max it until E and Q are maxed because all W does is give you a burst of movement speed.

Teemo's R is hilarious. It places stealth trap mushrooms that explode and poison the enemy on contact, dealing damage, revealing them and lowering their movement speed. It is good for placing in lanes or chokepoints, as well as throwing them at an opponent's feet during a fight.

Minion tax is extremely important on Teemo Jungle because you need to build your items quickly so he can snowball into stupid levels of lifesteal and attack speed properly. If you gank a lane, take a few minions to supplement the time you took to gank it. Don't stay too long or take too many minions, just a few as compensation for your help. Honestly, the amount of minions I take for tax widely depends on the laner's attitude. Toxic attitude = More minions taken. Friendly attitude or neutral attitude = Less minions taken.

I usually follow this path, though it is acceptable to start blue as well:

Start allied red buff (Smite if necessary), kill it then move to kill allied raptors/chickens. Kill them (using your Q to blind the big one and use Smite if you need to), then move to kill the nearest Scuttlecrab for extra vision and healing. From there, you can either move immediately into invading the enemy blue buff or move to take your own blue buff. Kill blue buff, then take wolves, then take Gromp. Move to take that Scuttlecrab. Then back, buy according to the build path. During this time, watch for possible ganks because Teemo can actually gank fairly okay at lower levels if he backs out quickly.

Once I've cleared my camps, I then just start to focus on counterjungling and eating enemy camps as they spawn while looking for ganks. My main focus as Teemo Jungle is killing squishy champions through ganks and killing camps on my way to those ganks.

In order to obtain a high rating in Teemo Jungle games, you need to have a mix of good kill/death/assist ratios (assists count) along with an extremely high Creep Score (CS) count. If you keep killing camps as you move to gank throughout the game, you can easily hit over 200+ CS with Teemo Jungle.

The new Rift Herald is EXTREMELY important. When you get low on health, use your potions and even Smite if you have to. You can kill Rift Herald shortly after getting your ultimate if you do it properly and use your head when it comes to lifesteal and healing.

After the Herald is dead, if you or anyone on your team killed it, you can pick up the 'Eye of the Herald' that spawns at the Rift Herald's pit by standing on it. You'll know you got it because it says you 'captured' the Rift Herald. This is different from 'defeating' the Rift Herald. Make sure you actually capture the eye. Then, go to a lane, help clear the lane of enemy champions and hit 4. Wait a few seconds and the Rift Herald will spawn, running right down the lane and attacking enemy structures for massive damage. It will also fight minions and champions for you but you need to protect it. It is entirely possible to take down three towers and maybe even an inhibitor with one Rift Herald summon if you protect it right and assist it.

You need to be careful when summoning the Herald because if the enemy uses some crowd control on you, it can cancel the summon and you can lose the item entirely. You also need to remember that you have a limited amount of time to summon the Rift before it expires.

Teemo can easily solo Baron Nashor at full build using this setup.

Get every dragon you can. Teemo can easily kill dragons, including Elder Dragon, using this build. This build also allows Teemo to easily gank teams who are trying to take dragons, using Runaan's Hurricane.

I personally prefer Ignite for the extra damage in fights, but Flash is often used instead of Ignite to help position for distant attacks and escape dangerous situations in conjunction with your W. Teemo tends to get enemies to very low health with his poison but they run off, Flash can give you the extra distance to finish them off.

Smite is a must on Teemo Jungle to kill objectives and it also becomes part of your combo when you complete a jungle item.

There are four main types of 'Shrooms', defined by how you place them and what your intention is.

Defensive Shrooms: These mushrooms are placed in a manner that protect you or objectives. They are generally placed in chokepoints where the enemy could go to attempt to flank you, or just outside of (but not on) objectives such as jungle camps.

Disruptive Shrooms: Placed in a manner to annoy and disrupt the opponent. These shrooms are placed in areas where the enemy probably isn't going to expect them. (For example, throwing them in random places in the enemy jungle or zig-zagging them around in a random lane.)

Combat Shrooms: These shrooms are directly used as a weapon in fights. I like to throw them right on an opponent's feet or at their escape route.

Informational Shrooms: These shrooms are used in a manner similar to wards. Shrooms grant vision. I tend to throw these in bushes where the enemy laner or jungler might go. The purpose of these shrooms is to gain vision on certain areas with the hope that someone might eventually step on them.
