Playing as Teemo

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Save your dart for auto attackers

    Save Blinding Dart (Q) for the champion who relies on autos, right as they start a trade: blinded, they miss their autos.

  2. Ambush while invisible

    Stand still for a moment to turn invisible with Guerrilla Warfare (passive), then strike first: when you leave invisibility, you gain attack speed.

  3. Save Move Quick to escape a gank

    Save the Move Quick (W) sprint to escape a gank: you have no dash, and its bonus isn't lost when you get hit.

  4. Place your mushrooms on busy paths

    Place Noxious Trap (R) on busy paths: jungle entrances, around dragon and Baron, river brushes. Stealthed, it slows and reveals the enemy who steps on it.

Playing against Gangplank

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Pop his kegs before he does

    Destroy his kegs before he does: a Powder Keg (E) destroyed by an enemy is defused, and each keg loses health over time.

  2. All-in, he has no dash

    If you can engage, go all-in: his kit has no dash to escape.

  3. Save a CC for after his W

    If your team has several CCs, don't use them all at once: Remove Scurvy (W) cleanses all his CC, then has a 22 to 14 second cooldown.

  4. Get out of his keg zone

    In teamfights, get out of his kegs' area: each Powder Keg (E) explosion deals the damage of the attack that set it off, ignores part of your armor and slows you.
