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 Heimerdinger

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Destroy his turrets first

    Take down his turrets before you trade, with your minions' help: each H-28 G Evolution Turret (Q) builds up charge over time, then fires a stronger shot.

  2. Dodge the center of his grenade

    Get out of the center of CH-2 Electron Storm Grenade (E): that's where it stuns, and if it hits a champion, it fully charges his nearby turrets.

  3. All-in after his grenade

    Start your all-in or gank after CH-2 Electron Storm Grenade (E): it's his only stun, it has an 11-second cooldown, and he has no dash.

  4. Pull him away from his turrets

    Take your trades away from his turrets: they deactivate when he moves too far from them, and Hextech Affinity (passive) speeds him up near them.

  5. Back off from his giant turret

    Stay out of his giant turret's range for its 8 seconds: placed with UPGRADE!!! (R), it slows, deals area damage and is immune to CC.
