Playing against Teemo
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
Buy Oracle Lens fast, it reveals and disables Teemo's mushrooms.
Q (Blind) has an 8s cooldown at rank 1: engage right after he uses it if you're an auto-attack champion.
Teemo has no dash and no hard CC — ganks and forced engages are very effective against him.
In the late game, buy Control Wards to clear mushrooms before contesting Baron or Dragon.
