Lane Phase

Lvl 1-5

→Give up early CS. It is better to miss gold than to lose 50% HP for a single melee minion.
→Use to last hit from range and build stacks. Only use 3 if you can hit him and immediately back off.
→Save specifically to shield his or when you're taking multiple procs.
→Position near bushes to drop minion aggro after he autos you, but be wary of ambushes.

Lvl 6+Power spike

→You win the all-in if you land 3. Pull him toward you, then use to take him to a wall.
→Teemo is squishy. Even if you are blinded, your and still deal damage during .
→Track where he places . If you dash into a mushroom during your all-in, his slow will allow him to kite you out.

Trading Patterns

Safe Poke

Stack on minions → to a minion near him → 3 to pull/slow → back to safety.

Punish

If Teemo uses on a minion or misses it, immediately dash in with and . He cannot stop your procs without his blind.

All-in

Land 3 → Dash with → Tap for stun → through a wall → Ignite and spam while waiting for blind to end.

Respect

•
early levels — He can easily poke you out of lane before your first back if you take too many autos.
•
during all-ins — If you use and then get blinded, you lose 2-3 seconds of your highest damage window.
•
mushroom fields — Stepping on one during a chase will end your kill pressure and likely get you killed by kiting.
•
Level 1-2 cheese — He may use in the middle of the lane to ignite and kill you before the first wave is gone.

Punish

•
is on cooldown — This is your only window to reliably trade with empowered autos.
•
Teemo is near a wall — Use to kidnap him. He has no dash to escape the 'All Out' zone.
•
Teemo uses defensively — He is now susceptible to your 3 pull and has no way to outrun you.
•
Post-Negatron Cloak — Once you have MR, his tickles. Walk up and force him to use mana or lose HP.

Wave Management

Early

Let him push into you. You want the wave near your tower so you have a long lane to chase him down once you hit level 6.

Post-6

Keep the wave in the middle. If he overextends to poke you under tower, he is perfectly positioned to be kidnapped by .
