That teemo you have in your team is probably just not good enough.

Teemo main here and have to agree.

About 80% of mid lane champions can wreck Teemo early game, mostly because burst mages are his weaknesses.

While at top lane, you only have to worry about being ganked or of the enemy trying to all in on you.

Less needed shrooms to counter the ganks.

this goes for every non dashing melee mid, just ward and not have tunnel vision.

I have 73 games on Teemo this season with a 58% win rate, almost all of them mid. A disproportionate number of those losses were in top.

Teemo is just fine in mid against most matchups. Talon, Ahri, and Annie are the only ones that were near-unwinnable matchups. You risk getting burst-combed, but laning against a squishy means you can get cheese kills with your passive pretty easily.

You bully them at level 1-2, then farm safely til 6 and shroom your turret-side jungle entrances. Then you're in a good position to shroom objectives, enemy jungle camps, and roam/invade paths. It's generally higher risk just being in mid, but Teemo can have a lot of influence from mid even if it's just a farm lane.

EDIT: Also, the smaller lane means there's a higher chance of the enemy hitting your traps. In most cases, hitting a single trap is enough to keep an enemy mid playing passive. Unlike top, rushing MR throws off the build path/power curve for a lot of mid laners. In top, most matchups will rush a spectral cowl and be unkillable for the rest of the lane.

A lot of the time toplane matchups are actually a lot harder. Pantheon, Irelia, and Jax can zone and burst you like a mage. Tanks can shrug off shrooms. Garen can run you down. Malphite and Sion can poke you down from range. Zac can do all of the above plus ganking his own lane. The difference in mid is that your damage is always far more relevant, and your enemy isn't lifestealing/regening your damage.

If you're in a hard matchup, you rank Q > W > E and rush boots into Morello. Q is quite long range and does absurd damage to a squishy. The mana sustain from Lost Chapter lets you spam Qs and shrooms. W help you dodge skillshots and generally gtfo.

Teemo gets camped everytime, regardless of the lane he is in. This is because of the Teemo hate bullshit made up by some bandwagoners and sheeps.

When Teemo gets camped maybe people should focus on making the best out of this lane being pressured by the enemy jungler and take objectives and snowball other lanes? No, no one gives a damn and would rather just farm. Teemo then feeds and everyone blames.
