Why NO ONE Plays: Teemo | League of Legends

Temeo has made a name for himself as the de facto mascot of League of Legends. But despite his popularity in terms of character appeal, his representation ingame has failed to match the same level. For today's episode of Why NO ONE Plays, we're gonna revisit Teemo to better explain why he's having a hard time garnering competitive attention.

Meaning that as long as you stick to macro you could play basically any role with any items. And, since teemo's damage is based on auto's and doesn't need to scale much, you don't have to fall off damage. You would be surprised how much damage a full tank teemo can do

    No one plays teemo because how nerfed he become post "rework". Remember that both Q and R used to have a 1.0 Ap ratio and R used to stack damage, unlike now that only refresh the timer. This means that back in the day when Hp were around 2-3k hp, 2 "well" placed mushrooms could kill you if you were playing anything that wasnt a tank. Thats the reason of why teemo was so hated and why everyone stopped playing teemo after the nerfs.

    As a Teemo player, I do it for the DoTs and the fun of proactively setting up traps in common engage/disengage paths. There's something incredibly satisfying about fade-away kills, or letting folks 'escape' you because you know you already mined out the direction they're headed and the kill is basically secured. The key is knowing those paths and adapting placement strategies to where a given enemy team seems to be focusing their energy. Plus sometimes just shrooming lanes so they can passively push.

Also leave behind a miasma like Cassiopeia to make a zone that damages

    Im a teemo player so I may be a bit biased but. His low playrate may have something to do with the fact that every toplaner these days has dashes, cc, damage despite building tanky, enough innate durability and sustain to ignore any kind of poke he can deal, has better waveclear, doesn’t have to worry about blind cuz they either have a way to wait out the timer or still deal enough damage to kill you with abilities, and also scales better. And even with all this toplane is still his BEST role.

    These guys have clearly not played CDR shroom Teemo. It will take all 5 enemies having a sweeper to get from their base to a drake or baron fight without hitting multiple shrooms, and clearing shrooms will likely slow them down enough to just take the objective while they are trying to get to you. Shroom pressure late game is insane and forces 5 sweepers, and even then they will still be cursing you.

    As a teemo main, he requires setup to get kills. Shrooming areas with high enemy movement traffic can set up kills easily. So hard shoving waves and then setting up shrooms in fog of war gives him a heavy advantage against most enemies. While liandries is a good mythic on him, he doesnt really need it. His shrooms were nerfed to simply be utility via slows. Rushing Blade of the Ruined King gives him much needed sustain, and then throwing riftmaker or rageblade into the build as your mythic gives you more dueling power. But I find going grasp into tankmo to be the most effective route in most games. The build I usually go is Berserker Greaves into BotRK (or Hullbreaker), into Titanic, into Rageblade. If you fully commit to simply splitpushing, Runaans and Deadmans as your last two items fully delete waves fast enough to pressure towers hard while giving you the movement speed and tankiness to get away once the enemy collapses on you. Teemo is one of a few champions that can itemize for most situations effectively, and can trick your enemy laner into building the wrong resists if you start with an ap focused starter item. If you are up against a team that relies heavily on healing, Liandries into Oblivion orb tends to be the best option in my personal opinion. Teemo really only wins games by drawing pressure and stalling out games so your allies can get their items, or by split pushing. He has a steep learning curve, because you need to know every matchup perfectly as well as know how to space effectively while paying attention to the enemy jungler's pathing. If you can make it to lvl 6 without dying, you should be able to fully control the toplane wave like no other champion can. If you die pre-6, you will have a very hard time against alot of the most common matchups. Remember, as a specialist, Teemo's job isnt necessarily to kill the enemy laner. As long as you can push them out of lane through residual damage, you are denying them experience and gold and that is a net gain. Getting kills is just a plus when it comes to gold, but has the downside of putting an early bounty on your head. Once you have you laner by the balls, you need to focus on shrooming the river to help your team control rift, and later, baron. Now for a few notable matchups: 1. Nasus: Ban him if you can. He WILL outscale you. No, you won't be able to effectively deal with him after he hits lvl 6 and it only gets worse the longer the game goes. He WILL run you down, its not a matter of if but when. 2. Malphite: If you dont go Grasp into this matchup, its going to be difficult. Tankmo will shove him out of lane and will take his tower pretty easily. Just make sure to let your team know when he leaves lane because he will become desperate. 3. Jax: Jax loves touching anything small, just like CookieLoL. He will crush you if he gets his hands on you. A Q max first will give you leeway to stay safer against him, but he will eventually outscale you if the game goes past 25 minutes as he is a better teamfighter. Knowing where to place your shrooms is vital in this matchup to allow you to space effectively if he jumps on you. Set those shrooms up in advance. 4. Illaoi: Dodge the damn E. Its that simple. Trade around that cooldown, and preferably take Grasp or Press the Attack. Phase Rush is also optional. 5. Akali: Again, dodge the damn E. Your spacing has to be top tier in this matchup or you will lose. And then your team will lose because there will be a rampaging Akali. You wont get help 99% of the time because she is a slippery bastard. So pick teemo into this if you want to suffer. 6. Garen/Darius: Probably the most common matchups. If you dont place your shrooms correctly, they will run you down. Its that simple. Work with your jungler to shut them down early. I recommend running phase rush into these two, and preferably ghost + Flash for kiting and rundown potential. Your main goal should be to make sure they dont get plating gold. 7: Gangplank: Grasp is a must or you will get poked out. Again, he will outscale you so work with the time you have. Play around level advantages and stack minions so your jungler can help you dive him early game when he is at his weakest. 8: Irelia: This will be a hard matchup. If you dont dodge her E, you will die. Every time. The enemy jungler will gank for her. So be prepared. Shroom under your tower to at least attempt to trade kills. Keep her away from the plates as well as you can and make her your team's problem later. Vamp Scepter and dorans shield is all she needs to make your poke worthless. Best route is just Q max. 9. Volibear: Q max and press the attack. He cant stun you that way and will take more than enough damage over short trades to make his life hell. I recommend Ghost and Flash to make him uninstall. 10. Mordekaiser: Again its all about spacing. Dodge the E. Once he has ult, run for your life. Use shrooms to keep the wave from crashing. Hopefully this helps new Teemo players and the people wanting to crush Teemo in their games. I will update the matchup list if people ask for specific matchups. Have a wonderful day.

    I play Teemo exclusively as a support, which sort of mitigates a number of his problems, but really highlights a different one, Chemtech Rift. The giant area, rapid respawn sweeper plants serve to make Teemo support nearly unplayable in the matches that RNG dictates that the enemy team doesn't even need to buy a second red trinket. Teemo support in the later stages lives and dies purely off of setting up mushrooms as a series of extra spicy wards around important objectives, but if you don't practically walk into the enemy base on a suicide mission every minute you just lose all of your setup to plants. It's miserable, and while it effects Teemo regardless of position it's just one extra nail in the coffin.
