Malzahar vs Teemo Matchup Summary

The Malzahar vs Teemo matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 28 recent matches analyzed, Malzahar wins with a 60.7% win rate compared to Teemo's 39.3%, giving Malzahar a 21.4 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Malzahar controls the early laning stage, but Teemo outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Malzahar needs to press advantages before Teemo reaches their power spikes, while Teemo should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Malzahar leads by 0.6s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Malzahar players can confidently pick into Teemo and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Teemo away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Teemo late game win rateTeemo56.3%

Malzahar dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 83.3% win rate — a 66.7 percentage point lead over Teemo. This lopsided early game means Malzahar can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Teemo is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 56.3% win rate — 12.5 points above Malzahar. Extended games heavily favor Teemo, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.

This matchup features a dramatic power shift: Malzahar must aggressively press their early advantage and close out the game before Teemo reaches their scaling breakpoints. If Teemo survives the laning phase without falling too far behind, the matchup flips in their favor. Dragon and Rift Herald control are pivotal — the team that secures early objectives can snowball or buy time to scale.
