Playing as Teemo
Tips to maximize your impact
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 Jayce
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Watch for the orb behind his gate
When he places Acceleration Gate (E), expect Shock Blast (Q) through it: the orb gains speed, range and damage.
- Back off when he goes hammer
If you have range, back off when he switches to hammer: Mercury Hammer (R) makes him tankier, and he can't go back to cannon for 6 seconds.
- Engage after his Thundering Blow
Engage after Thundering Blow (E): it's his only knockback, and it has a 20 to 10 second cooldown.
- Drag the game out
If you survive the laning phase, play for time: Jayce is strongest early, when his cannon range dominates the lane.
