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 Shen

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Place your blade behind your opponent

    Place your spirit blade behind your opponent before a trade, then cast Twilight Assault (Q): if it passes through them on the way back, your autos hit much harder.

  2. Start your trades with a spell

    Start a trade with an ability: Ki Barrier (passive) then gives you a shield, and hitting champions lowers its cooldown.

  3. Taunt through the wave

    Cast Shadow Dash (E) through the wave to surprise your opponent: the taunt forces them to come to you, and the spell restores energy if it hits.

  4. Keep your blade near your carry

    In teamfights, keep your spirit blade near your carry: Spirit's Refuge (W) forms where it is and blocks autos against your allies there.

  5. Don't wait on your R

    Cast Stand United (R) as soon as an ally is in danger: the shield already maxes out at 60% missing health, and the channel delays your arrival.

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.
