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 Mordekaiser
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Stay near your minions
Stay near your minions against Obliterate (Q): its damage increases when it hits only one enemy.
- Dodge his Death's Grasp
Dodge Death's Grasp (E): it pulls you toward him, into his other spells, and it has a 16 to 8 second cooldown.
- At range, kite him
If you have range, kite him: Mordekaiser has no dash, and only Death's Grasp (E), which pulls you in, closes the distance.
- Save your mobility in his R
In Realm of Death (R), save your mobility spells to escape him rather than for the duel: he steals part of your stats, and keeps them if he kills you.
