Teemo Mid and Late Game
What Teemo does better or worse than other champions after laning, from this patch's ranked games — percentiles where 100 is the highest of every champion.
Play to these strengths
- Teemo is a main damage source (92/100): stay alive and in range for the whole fight rather than diving first.
- Teemo brings crowd control (percentile 86): start the fight or follow up on a teammate's engage.
- Side-lane pressure pays: Teemo rates 78/100 for damage to buildings. Push a side wave while the team holds mid.
- Teemo wins 23.2 points more in long games than short ones: avoid coin-flip fights early and let the game go long.
Playing Teemo
- Teemo's mushrooms can be used to farm creep waves very effectively.
- Place your mushrooms at key locations on the map, such as by the Dragon or Baron Nashor, to reveal when your enemies might be attempting to kill them.
Playing Against Teemo
- Teemo's Toxic Shot punishes players who get hit and back out, so stay at a safe range until you're ready to commit.
- It can be valuable to use Oracle's Lens(Trinket) to destroy mushrooms around key locations.
