Teemo's abilities

Passive, spells and ultimate

Guerrilla Warfare (P)

If Teemo stands still and takes no actions for a short duration, he becomes Invisible indefinitely. If he's in brush, Teemo can enter and maintain his Invisibility while moving. After leaving Invisibility, Teemo gains the Element of Surprise, increasing his Attack Speed for a few seconds.

Playing as Olaf

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Don't run too early at low health

    Don't run too early at low health: Berserker Rage (passive) gives you attack speed and life steal based on your missing health.

  2. Pick up your axe

    Throw Undertow (Q) close to you or just behind your target, then pick up the axe: its cooldown is reduced, or fully refunded if you pick it up late enough.

  3. Reckless Swing between autos

    Weave Reckless Swing (E) between your autos: its true damage ignores resistances, and each auto lowers its cooldown by 1 second.

  4. Ragnarok as you charge their carry

    Cast Ragnarok (R) as you charge their carry: you're freed from all CC, nothing stops you anymore, and each hit on a champion extends the effect.

Playing against Teemo

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Only close in for a real trade

    Only get close to him to start a real trade: each Teemo auto poisons you with Toxic Shot (E), and the poison keeps ticking while you back off.

  2. Trade after his dart

    If you rely on autos, start your trade right after Blinding Dart (Q): he has nothing left to blind you with during its 7-second cooldown.

  3. Reveal his mushrooms

    Before a dragon or Baron, move in with an Oracle Lens or a Control Ward: they reveal the Noxious Trap (R) mushrooms, which otherwise stay stealthed for minutes.

  4. Call your jungler when he steps up

    Ask for a gank when he steps up in your lane: Teemo has no dash, and only the Move Quick (W) sprint helps him escape.
