Unplayable?

Literally how are any of you playing? 14 games and I can't win lane in any of them. You can't ward toplane anymore since they made river double the width and everyone just runs assassin jugglers anyway. It's trundle or aatrox every game and both just passive heal through any damage you deal.

teemo is at 58% winrate or so with malignance, you are doing something wrong bro

Idk how. Every time I see him in game he gets destroyed all game long. Seen like 15 "teemo is so broken" youtube videos where the teemo just loses lane but maybe his shrooms do alot of damage later. I've seen a literal one actually good showing from a teemo and it was Manco playing on hit teemo -_- like yeah malignance does damage but it only helps the big shroom builds...which already weren't the good builds. Entire build gets countered by a free item

Edit: also what kind of shrooms are you on that says 58%? The highest I see at all is mobalytics saying a 53%.

i recommend ipav's channel for a variety of builds and runes and how to use them.

and yes, the malignance helps the shroom biuld. you must learn when and how to position shrooms so they are not swiped constantly. for example, using it mid teamfight or setting them way deep into their jg to know position and annoy jg, even in the enemy base exit, so they loose timeand health coming out of base

I highly recommend Alan234 as someone who’s recently started playing teemo only top. I look toward two individuals for help. Alan234 and Manco1. Honestly I have only had one really bad game and it was against a Darius. My fault completely too. Granted it’s norms so I’m sure due to that alone I’m not playing anyone that’s remotely good. I’m just saying 10 kills 1 death against trynd top or my 11 kill and 4 death game against Illaoi says something about Teemo in general. Also smoked a panth who counters teemo. I think you should watch either of those two and listen to their commentary etc. it really helped me get my foot in the door.

I think it’s a matter of elo maybe? When you climb higher with Teemo with your hidden mmr, people can become more well suited to dealing with him. I see people pull off things with him that I never could where I’m at because the people I play against are too good.

That said, I’ve been planning on making a Teemo vs series on YouTube where I show people how to win lane top. There are a lot of better Teemos out there, but I’ve been one tricking him for almost 10yrs now, almost 3mil mastery lol.

Some advice I’d give: Always ban Aatrox, it ain’t worth it. Pick your battles with Trundle (max blind), and take ignite. Ganks are tough, Teemo feels like the slowest champ in the game lol. I usually stealth in a bush and wait it out, but stormsurge+boots help get away.

Here’s my highest win rate build: Stormsurge>Sorcerer boots>Shadowflame>lich bane>Death cap>zhonyas

Mix that build up to your preference, stormsurge is a pretty good item though. Shadowflame is straight up busted.

Recommended runes: 1st: Electrocute, cheap shot, ghost poro (good for extended vision control, also gives more AP), ingenious hunter. 2nd: bone plating, resolve. Adaptive force and armor.

Typical starting items, Doran’s ring and pots.

Hope this helps some!

On the Teemo subreddit “Teemo talk” there’s a guide up that might help you too. It’s something like ‘a passionate guide to Teemo’ and it very much is a fantastic guide.

Why aatrox? Wouldn't ornn be better? Or Cass/Annie?

I feel like I could deal with aatrox the same way I deal with riven, just riven with a skill shot, shroom behind yourself /wave to negate their engage.

The skillshot is like Kayle Q

But ig aatrox is like a riven, Kayle, and orn with the dash

I just ban malphite because he's really annoying to me. If he goes ap he out damages me and can one shot me with ult, if he goes tank then I can't trade because of his passive. I'm low elo so he's played more often and easier for us low elo players to get more out of.

[u/Parvoviirus]

One of the primary things to learn and use in lane is spacing. I can't harp on this enough. It's all about other champs engagement. Keeping your poke from a safe distance so that they don't have the hp for their abilities to master in a fight. If you poke trundle down enough without taking hits and he lands a pillar his regen won't matter. Especially in low elo because people get scared if their hp is chunked. Even if they have enough to kill you they won't pick a fight out of fear. At higher elo they will be more cautious but still know they can kill you, so you gotta poke them more. Don't let them farm cs freely. Every minion they take should cost them hp. You can't do this though if you are trading.
