Threats & Synergies
Aatrox
abusing him early game with e and making him sit under turret is a great advantage remember to ward tho
Garen
harass with auto attacks if he comes in with q blind him before he hits it and it should be a miss
Tryndamere
deny early game as much as possible. when reaching level 6 you'll be able to deny his ultimate as if he comes in with his e you can place a trap and blinding him which allow you to deal damage while he is slowed you can use your w to move further to deny him further damage and it should be easy game from there
Darius
poke as much as you can when his e is on cd the range of his e is the same as your q so q and run away to avoid getting pulled
Singed
avoid getting flung up but as long as you have your boots of swiftness everything should be fine =] when dealing with proxy singed just don't bother chasing him as he will die/tele back to base and use teleport and he will be put behind
Akali
tank akali is really easy to deal with as teemo abuse heavily pre 6 and play safe post 6 otherwise push lane and roam
Nasus
deny as much as you can but ap nasus will hurt you so you will want to build some hp early
Jayce
dont allow him to farm early deny as much as possible at level 6 you can go super agressive as if he goes into melee mode you can place a trap right under him and kill him as long as you dodge his Q shots he should run out of mana really fast
Fiora
skill based match up you will need to avoid fioras Q and her retaliate
Yorick
as long as he runs out of mana play safe or agressive/wait for a gank
Malphite
if its an ap malph you'll have some trouble early game as his damage is massive and he can burst you easily but all you need is to harass as much as you can and deny farm as much as possible
Renekton
an attack damage renekton will be a hard thing to beat especially when he gets his dash and gap closes his way and heals with q best option is to either go super agressive from start to end or wait for ganks
Vladimir
play safe until level 2 where you can hit 1 auto then hit a q which will deal more damage than his q and he won't be able to heal it all back which will end up with you winning the damage trade off. taking the ignite will also allow you to be agressive in lane as it will reduce his healing by 50%
Camille
mainly a skill match up as you'll need to be fairly agressive but avoid walls so she can't jump to you, also maxing q might help in lane
Irelia
pre 6 you can abuse her while trying to denying farm post 6 you'll need to play safe as she can all in you with ult to sustain your damage. defensive build recommended
Pantheon
HARDEST COUNTER TO TEEMO: his q range is longer than your auto range his passive allows him to take a hit without taking the damage as well as w. his e will do a ton of damage on you overall near impossible champion to beat as teemo as pantheon counters teemo in every way. he has: a gap close, an aoe attack which dosen't require a target, a way to dodge/reflect your attacks, and really high damage suggesting a ban if you will play teemo
Olaf
olaf will dominate you after 6 as he will counter you in every possible way just like pantheon suggested to switch lanes before he hits 6

Threats & Synergies
Veigar
Play aggressive pre level 6. If he uses his Q to farm, play aggressive as he walks up to last hit CS. Juke his other abilities if he cages you in. He's very squishy so punish his weak early, he will most of the time over-extend for CS to stack his Q.
Ziggs
Dodge his Q bombs. Go aggressive if his abilities are on CD. Ziggs is a mana user and has to use up a lot of mana to poke, go in when he has none. He's Squishy and not really one of the hardest matchup, if Ziggs overextends go aggressive. Watch for his satchel when going for an all-in. Start Doran shield against him or boots to avoid his Q bombs, both good options.
Vel'Koz
Play aggressive when his Q is on CD. Setup Q daggers when he's going for CS. He's VERY squishy and can be out-traded. If he misses knock up, he's open. Careful when he's level 6 because his ult does PLENTY of damage and if you don't have E ready you'd eat a lot of the damage. His ult makes him stationary, take advantage of this. You can all in with EW, but as soon as you do, walk to the side to avoid his knock up, you should anticipate this.
Akali
Akali is vulnerable when she uses her shroud, take advantage of this. You can ult inside her shroud to reveal which direction she is by tracing where your ult daggers are landing. Her lv 1 is superior because of her Q - AA trade, watch for that when last hitting minions. You can play aggressive at level 2. Setup Q dagger or EW, both good choices VS Akali. Watch out for her 6 as this is her spike. Generally not the hardest matchup.
Viktor
It's okay to get hit by his Q, just don't get hit by his buffed auto attack. afterwards. Dodge his lasers, becareful as it out-ranges your shunpo. Take advantage of his cooldowns, he is vulnerable without his Q shield. When he drops his W Gravity field, make sure you have your E reset/refunded so you can jump in or out depending on the situation. Viktor R will cancel your channeled abilities, this means your R. watch for that.
Zoe
Watch for her Q. It's her highest damaging spell, if you stand behind minions you can avoid this in lane. watch for her bubble, try to walk behind a minion if you do get bubbled or shunpo away immediately. Merc treads are great against her sleep. her R is on a short cooldown, keep that in mind. You are very strong in an all-in scenario and she tends to be a better poker, she plays around landing her sleep, avoid her sleep as much as possible.
Aurelion Sol
Farm for first few waves if he is shoving. If not, play aggressive. Setup your Q dagger and poke in and out. Go for aggressive trades if his Q stun is down. Fairly one of the easier matchups, just be sure to keep track of his roaming as he can fly towards other lanes. Dodge his Ulti by shunpoing behind him, it doesn't do that much damage early on.
Ahri
Careful when you CS because she will Q you, she will try to go for pokes. Use Shunpo if you need to avoid skillshots or step back. Dodge her E and Q and try to take as little poke in lane as possible. You can play aggressive when her charm is on CD. She's open to an all-in when her E is on CD, she's vulnerable without it. She can kite you at 6 and avoid daggers, becareful when you're low HP because she'll have 3 dashes and she could kill you.
Lissandra
Stay away from the minion wave so she doesn't land her Q on you and the minions. If you setup Q dagger on her, go in and trade, she will use her W root but it does low damage. After 6, you can try to out-trade her because she usually can't one shot you if she isn't already ahead. Never use your ulti when she has hers up. QSS and Merc treads are both solid purchases VS her but I would not suggest buying both as that's far too much defensive items.
Taliyah
Trade against Taliyah when her W is on CD, she tends to be squishy, just like vel'koz or ziggs. Her strong strait is pushing in waves so try your best to push against the wave and keep pressure on her, don't let her push waves for free, punish her for shoving in. She uses a bunch of ability to do-so so she won't have a strong retaliation when you jump her besides her rock knockback which can be avoided if you anticipate it.
Brand
Learn to avoid his abilities. Dodge his W and you will be alright as this is his highest damaging spell and it is what he will max. Starting boots here helps to avoid his skillshots. Careful when getting hit by his E engulf. He can set ablaze minions to poke this way, don't get too close. Get aggressive if his abilities are on CD. The most important ability to avoid is his Q as it stuns when you're ablaze. He's very squishy and immobile, take advantage.
Fizz
Don't let him proc his W mark. Dodge his E with your Shunpo. Take advantage of his E being on CD. Don't get hit by his ult or this will be his cue to all in, try not to let him long range his ult either. Q him when he's trying to farm, max Q. Setup Q daggers on minions because he can dodge your Q with E.
Syndra
Dodge her Qs, she'll poke you when you are walking up to last hit minions so keep an eye out for that. If she misses stun, take advantage of it. After 6, don't get stunned. Farm safely and make her use crucial spells such as W and mainly E, then you can all in. Merc treads and hexdrinker are both great items against her.
Lux
Stay away from minions, she will E. If she hits E, walk away from her as she wants to land an auto attack to proc her blight passive. Setup Q dagger on her when she's going to last hit a minion. Trade if her Shield is on CD since it is her strongest ability. Get aggressive if her Q is down because she can't stop you from full comboing. You have to learn to be elusive in this matchup by avoiding her key abilities. Don't get baited by her shield. Kill her when you have items.
Xerath
Dodge his Qs, careful when you walk up to farm as he can Q or W, use shunpo to avoid skill shots if needed. When you go in on him with EW be sure you try to juke his E afterwards as most xerath players will immediately try to throw it out, use W's decay movespeed to avoid his E when all-ining.
Kennen
Always keep in mind how many stack marks he has on you so you know when you will get stunned. Don't get hit by his empowered auto attack on his W passive and avoid his Qs. Trade when his E is down. Avoid his ultimate in big teamfights, be sure to go zhonya to avoid this. Wait it out then try to go for an all-in with Q then EWR. Farm it out safely after level 6 in lane. Go aggressive if you know you can kill him with the damage you have.
Anivia
Dodge her Q stun and if it's on cooldown, play aggressive. Don't get frosted by her Q or Ulti because you will eat her buffed E. After level 6, it's pretty much a farm lane, she will push out waves like no tomorrow with R. Don't get baited by her egg, always left click her to check if she has it. Ignite her BEFORE egg is down if it kills. Her passive lasts 4 minutes, your ignite is 3 minutes.
Azir
Play around his soldiers' range and keep an eye out for that when trying to last hit minions. If he Qs his soldier in aggressively, go in if you didn't get hit by his Q as he will lack a great portion of his damage. You can also dodge his Q by Shunpoing in and it will catch him off-guard. He's vulnerable after using Q, take advantage. At level 6, you can outplay his ulti with shunpo if done right and with correct dagger placements.
Diana
Take advantage of her shield cooldown, she won't be able to defend off your damage. Setup Q dagger while she's farming. Know the pattern of dodging Diana's Q. Don't go for extended trades, know when to back out as her auto attacks will out trade you because of her passive. After she hits level 6, don't get hit by Q or she'll simply out-damage you hard. Don't use ult until she uses her E.
Talon
Trade when his W rake is on CD. Don't let him proc passive on you, it takes 3 abilities to land for him to proc it and he has to auto attack. Setup with Q daggers and poke in and out. Setting up with E-W means you'll take his full burst damage unless his abilities are on CD. Watch for his melee range Q as it crits. At level 6, your ult overpowers his ult.
Ekko
Don't allow Ekko to proc his 3rd attack on passive, walk away to avoid this or shunpo out. It's his major tool to out-trade you. Take advantage when his Q is on cooldown. Setup Q dagger on him when he tries to go for CS. After hitting 6, try to force him to use ult by playing aggressive, it's okay to burn your own ulti for his. He'll be far more open for ganks and left far more vulnerable than you without ult.
Annie
ALWAYS watch her stun bar, avoid all-ining when she has it up at level 6, you can ignore her stun before lv 6 as your EW will still land and you can continue your combo, be sure you are healthy for this trade. Poke her when she's going for CS. Setup Q daggers and poke in/out when given the chance. Merc treads are great here. After 6, becareful for her flash ult. If you are ahead however, she can't one shot you.
Orianna
Lane tends to be difficult vs a good orianna with barrier/exhaust, farm it out. Take advantage of her CDS because that's when she is vulnerable. Safely setup Q dagger, E > W then shunpo out back to your minions. This way you won't get out-traded. Don't go for extended trades, quick in/out. It can also bait her ultimate if she's a bad player. Don't force plays unless you are confident that you can kill her. You can outplay by going in on her after she uses Q on the wave but be ready to take a lot in return if you fail the trade.
Yasuo
Keep track of how many minions he can E onto, try to fight Yasuo when there are no minions around for him to dash to so he can't dodge your spin damage on daggers. If he windwalls correctly, shunpo back. Setup Q dagger on minions and shunpo in, W for the full refund pre level 6, then go back out by shunpoing on your minions. Mainly a farm lane, call for ganks as he is very vulnerable to getting ganked since he lacks mobility. sync your Q when W lands, it animation cancels.
Zed
Dodge his shurikens. Careful with his level 2 WQ poke. Start Dark seal for aggression, all in when he uses WQ on minions to wave clear. All in him when he has 0 energy. Careful level 6. Don't stay low health under turret when he has ult.
Cassiopeia
Dodge her Q's, if it lands immediately fall back as she will follow with continous twin fangs. Careful for level 1 harass when you are farming. Passive farm early by Qing minions or Auto attacking at a safe distance from cass and get aggressive at lvl 3-5. Take advantage if she overextends or when her Q is on CD, she won't be able to trade well at 6, if she has no MR, you can burst her down as long as you outplay her ulti by showing your back to her.
LeBlanc
Don't let her proc her Q mark. Dodge chain by staying behind minions or side stepping when no ally minions are around. Take advantage of her if she uses her W as she won't have an escape/gap closer. Play patiently in lane, don't use EW combo if she has W as she will dodge the spin damage. Merc Treads is good vs her chain.
Heimerdinger
Setup Q daggers on him and poke in/out - After Shunpoing on Q, immediately use W to get a full refund on Shunpo and use that to shunpo back out on minions. Careful when he has too many turrets next to him if you attempt an all-in. Start Doran shield. You will be pushed in this laning phase most of the time, last hit under turret, careful for his rocket poke under turret. Don't need to win lane as his strength comes within being a bully in lane.
Kassadin
Go for a trade when his Q magic shield is down. You can get out-traded if he hits all his spells. Setup Q dagger on him directly or on minions, he is a melee champion so take advantage of this. Don't Q him when his Q is up, he'll simply get magic shield from you with a Q and you'd get out-poked. After hitting 6, if he ults in and uses Q, be aggressive and all in with your own ult.
Vladimir
Don't go for poke trades with him, his Q sustains him and he can crimson rush to get back a lot of health. Make him burn his pool because it costs health and allows you to fight him. Don't get hit by his Crimson Rush Q, as soon as you see the bar fill up immediately step back. It does more damage + gives more HP back. After 6, don't all in him and focus on farming unless you are ahead of him.
Malzahar
Take advantage of him if he uses his E on minions. Try to get rid of his spell shield passive and keep it down to prepare yourself for an all-in. Don't get E'd or you'll get poked down hard. Start Doran shield as it's good vs Damage over time. Purchase QSS sometime after gunblade if your team isn't that ahead. His ult will make him vulnerable while standing still, take advantage of this if he ults one of your allies. Dump on him in teamfights.
Ryze
Keep an eye out for the splash damage on the minions. Don't get into his snare range, it gets ugly. You can setup Q dagger on minions and go in and out but expect to take damage back or get rooted, not reliable method unless he burns his cooldowns. At level 6, you can all-in if you are even with him or ahead. Combo against ryze - E-W-R. Once he walks out of range of ult, Q-E. Merc treads is a great purchase VS ryze.

Threats & Synergies
Morgana
Morgana isn't very difficult because her E won't really do much against you. As long as you avoid her Q, she's an easy match-up.
Sona
Too squishy to be anywhere near you, though her poke can hurt a bit.
Karma
Karma isn't hard to deal with because she can't interrupt your ultimate and she's very squishy. Her damage is what you need to look out for, but if you're smart you can dodge most of her Qs and it should be all good.
Soraka
Too squishy to be anywhere near you. Her heals can be annoying to battle your poke and she can be incredibly annoying with her own poke (Q) that's difficult to dodge. Also her E cancels your ultimate. But if you all-in her she can't do much.
Zyra
Too squishy to be anywhere near you, but does a lot of damage. Her plants can be used against her as you can insta-kill them with Q and then let your Q bounce onto the enemy champions.
Bard
Bard's ultimate and Q can stop your ultimate, but outside of that he's more annoying than anything else. He can also E out of your ult range if there's a wall nearby, so keep that in mind. He's very squishy and blows up instantly which is good for ya.
Janna
Janna can stop your Q bounce from doing major damage with her E, her ult and Q can stop your ult and she's incredibly slippery and hard to kill. Outside of that she's not too bad.
Lulu
Lulu isn't too bad because you can kill her very easily due to her squishiness. Her W can stop your ult and she can shield her allies to nullify your Q poke, but that's about all you need to worry about.
Nami
Heals can be annoying since they nullify your Q poke, and her Q and R can stop your ultimate. Outside of that she's very squishy and immobile so pinning her down means certain death.
Brand
Brand is squishy and he will have a hard time interrupting your ult (he needs to hit you twice before he can stun you), but outside of that is very hard to deal with because he does major damage.
Rakan
Rakan can be tough because he's super slippery and he can interrupt your ultimate easily with his W or R. He's squishy but hard to pin down.
Blitzcrank
Blitz is super annoying to deal with because 1) you're immobile (bar Flash), meaning hooks are deadly to you and 2) His Q, E and ult all interrupt your ult. He is squishy-ish though which is nice.
Alistar
Really annoying to deal with because he's very tanky and can't be poked or bursted down easily. His Headbutt>Pulverize combo is not only deadly to you but it can also interrupt your ultimate really easily.
Leona
Leona's one of your toughest match-ups because she's incredibly hard to kill due to her W, and it's really hard to get away from her because of her E and long ranged stun (on her ult). She can interrupt your ult with either Q or R (pretty effortlessly) and she can bop you really fast with all her CC.
Thresh
Hard to deal with since he has two interrupts for your ultimate, is fairly tanky and can lantern people out of your ultimate.
Braum
Braum's also tough to deal with because he grants all his allies the ability to stun you. Which is really lovely. Aside from that he's very tanky and his E can entirely nullify your ultimate and make it useless.
