Hello Mobafire Community, my name is iSparklez I'm a Level 30 Summoner from the Europe West Server and I welcome you to my Guide about the Homicidal Yordle called Teemo. This little Yordle was the first champion I ever purchased in League of Legends and he was also the first I really ever focused on playing for a long period of time and attempting to Master.

I'd like to ask the Community to please comment anything you believe should be changed on my Guide followed by your reasons and I shall try to to improve the Guide as much as possible according to your views as well as mine.

Pros > Move Quick enables you to chase or escape anyone! > Easy Farmer with Toxic Shot > Noxious Trap works like a Ward, stops ganks, picks up kills and can stop chasers. > Blinding Dart can shutdown the enemy Carry. > High damage output at any stage of the Game. > So many skins!!!

camouflage

Cons > Teemo is super squishy! > You will be focused a lot! Because of your Global Taunt! > Teemo's range is low compared to other Ranged Champions. > Easy to learn but hard to Master. > Vision Ward and Oracle's Elixir are your worst enemies!!

Greater Quintessence of Movement Speed Utilizing these Quintessences will give Teemo even more speed then what he already gains from his Move Quick ability making him an even better at chasing a Low Health Target or escaping a Gank, they also aid him in getting to lane faster after using Recall making him loose less experience.

9 Greater Mark of Attack Speed are my favorite type of Marks to run on Teemo due to the fact that his main damage output will come from basic attacks enhanced with his Toxic Shot ability and on-hit effects from items like Malady, in the early laning phase these marks may save your life if your lane opponent decides to go All-In against you.

9 Greater Seal of Armor I use these Seals to "Counter" a bit of Teemo's well known low defenses, he is an extremely squishy champion and if focused in a Team Fight or an All-In against a Melee where he doesn't have Blinding Dart will die extremely fast, so these Seals might be a Life Saver.

9 Greater Glyph of Ability Power these Glyphs will provide you an amazing power boost in the Early stages of the game and will without a doubt make your Lane Opponent scared of facing you due to the ridiculous damage output you have that soon.

Flash is always your "Trump Card", it allows you to make many different plays, you can use it to escape from a bad situation, you can use it for an unexpected move against your opponent.

Ignite is a very nice and powerful Summoner Spell, sometimes your poison won't be enough to pick up a kill on a running opponent that is where Ignite comes in to secure the kill.

Teleport is a good Spell to take if you are planning on doing a Pushing Teemo Strategy to take down towers fast and easy, it's also helpful to appear into Team Fights unexpectedly.

Camouflage Camouflage(Passive): This ability makes Teemo stealth after 2 Seconds of taking no actions, upon leaving the Stealth you will gain the "Element of Surprise" giving you 40% increased Attack Speed for 2 Seconds.

Blinding Dart(Q): Teemo shoots out a small dart that deal good amounts of Magic Damage with a nice scaling (80% of Ability Power) and will blind the target for 1.5 / 1.75 / 2 / 2.25 / 2.50 Seconds.

Move Quick(W): This ability passively grants Teemo bonus movement speed until he is hit by a Champion or a Turret, after being hit it will take 5 seconds to regain the bonus movement Speed. On activation Teemo gains double the passive movement speed he had for 3 seconds and wont loose it even if he is hit.

Toxic Shot(E): This is a passive ability that enhances all of Teemo's basic attacks to deal more damage and apply a poison damage over time effect, it's the main damaging skill for Teemo and you should always max it!

Noxious Trap(R): This is your Ultimate ability and the source of rage against Teemo, when activated you will place a small Mushroom on the ground near you and it will remain there for 10 minutes, Teemo can have up to 3 Mushrooms stored to drop in quick succession after placing one he will begin to store another one. When stepped on by an enemy the Mushroom will explode dealing damage, slowing and poisoning nearby enemies. These mushrooms can also act like wards because they give you vision in a small area around them.

You'll want to start by maxing your Toxic Shot because it's Teemo's main source of damage. After that comes Move Quick, I choose to level up this skill in second for the increase in Movement Speed when out of combat and when you activate it, maxing this second will allow for easier split pushes and faster returns to lane, finally comes Blinding Dart I level up this ability last due to the fact that at rank 1 the blind is provides is already effective enough and leveling it up further would be a huge drain in mana. You'll obviously be taking points in your Noxious Trap whenever possible at levels 6, 11 and 16.

These are the main choice of boots you should take on Teemo, you'll be getting these for the Magic Penetration, these boots will increase your Damage Output by a considerable amount especially since your basic attacks deal magic damage.

This item is a must buy on Teemo his basic attacks already deal magic damage and this item will not only increase your damage by providing Ability Power and Attack Speed but will also bring a passive effect that deals magic damage to your target and reduces their magic resistance which will keep increasing your damage if you stick to that target during a fight.

One of the best items you could ever get if you're playing with someone who relies on Ability Power and Attack Speed like Teemo.

An item brought to you by Season 3, it is probably one of the best additions ever to Teemo it gives you a ridiculous amount of Attack Speed (70% increase) and it's passive will boost your already amazing farming ability.

This is the mother of all Ability Power Items so no need to wonder why you'd get it, it will make your damage fly up to the moon.





You'll want to purchase Void Staff as your final Item on Teemo if the enemy team starts stacking Magic Resistance, this item will give you a good amount of Ability Power and an incredible 35% Magic Penetration

I'd recommend taking Zhonya's Hourglass when the enemy team is heavily focused on Attack Damage, this item will provide you with 50 Armor accompanied by an astonishing 120 Ability Power and it's active ability which makes you Untargettable but also unable to take any action for 2.5 seconds.

This item has amazing Synergy with Teemo it provides you with +15 Magic Penetration, 300 Health, 50 Ability Power and an awesome effect that will make your Noxious Trap hurt your enemies for a lot by dealing 6% of their current health as Magic damage and if their movement is impaired (Which it will be from your Mushrooms) it will deal double damage!

If you're in need of Health look no further, this is the Item I recommend getting if you're struggling with your health and need to become super annoying with super slowing Mushrooms.

During Teamfights Teemo should stay in the back next to the Attack Damage Carry and try to inflict as much damage as possible through Toxic Shot and the occasional Blinding Dart.
However when you see a safe chance try to approach the Enemy Team Carry and shoot him with a Blinding Dart this will severely cripple his Damage Output during the fight.

If possible try to prepare the field with your Noxious Trap it will aid your team immensely if the opponents keep stepping on Exploding mushrooms while they try to fight and since in teamfights most people are closer together your Mushrooms will probably hit almost the entire enemy team securing you a nice advantage and possibly a Penta Kill ;).

Since you're playing as Teemo you have an infinite supply of long duration "Mushwards" and you must utilize these to their full scouting potential to aid your team in planning a successful strategy to dominate and win the game, in order to do that you should consider placing your Mushrooms in these key locations.

Yellow Marks: These are Locations you should place Mushrooms in to protect your own Jungler from being invaded or from being Counter Jungled.

Blue Marks: Indicate where you should place your Mushrooms to secure your lane from the enemy jungler or opponents trying to hide in the bushes to jump you when you walk by.

Orange Marks: These indicate where you can place Mushrooms to aid your Jungler in Counter Jungling by first observing the area to see if it's a safe chance to take.

Red Marks: These Marks are where you should be placing Mushrooms to protect important Objectives in Summoner's Rift, these 2 objectives are Baron Nashor and the Dragon by securing these with your Mushrooms you'll be giving your Team a large advantage in Objective Control.

This Foxy Lady will be a Nightmare if you ever meet her in the Mid-Lane, if she can land Charm on you it's pretty much over (Assuming of course you're both of the same skill level), after level 6 it gets even worse, she will be able to Tower Dive you and get out safely with her Spirit Rush. To win this lane you'll need a lot of assistance from your Jungler before she hits level 6, when you don't have your jungler to help you just try to find good positions where you can farm and dodge her skills.




Probably one of the most controversial champions in the League due to her extreme burst potential being on the borderline of Over Powered. When facing Akali you'll be in the clear Pre-6 with the only concern being the enemy jungler ganking you and in order to win this lane you'll have to exploit the time frame you have until Akali hit's level 6 because after that you'll be destroyed if you don't play super carefully, if possible try to maybe switch lanes with your Top Laner if that is not a possibility after level 6 plant as many shrooms has possible in your lane to force her to go through a couple when she dashes onto you.

In Summary Teemo is a fast paced range champion who can output a crazy amount of burst damage but can also significantly harm his foes through Damage-Over-Time with his Toxic Shot and the explosion from his ultimate ability Noxious Trap, utilizing the same ability Teemo can provide a good amount of utility for his Team due to the fact that his Mushrooms can be used as 10 minute wards that will give vision within a short range of their position, this is also beneficial when playing Teemo in a solo lane because it will protect him from the enemy jungler allowing him to overextend often without much risk.

I would like to thank you the reader for the time you took out of your day to analyze my guide and I would gladly accept all the feedback you could provide so I can alter my guide to fit your needs and aid you in playing Teemo, I will also be constantly updating this guide and experimenting with new builds to allow you to be able to switch the playstyle and not always play Teemo in the same way.
