Teemo vs Illaoi

I couldnt farm lvl 1-7 bc temmo was doing a really good job of killing me with autos and stopping last hits with his blind. I think I was at 30 cs at 6.5 minutes. Once my q got some lvls I was able to last hit at the cost of almost all of my mana and I didnt have enough to use my ult.

Eventually, Q my own q harras caused teemo to back off a little, but it was almost like he couldnt stand to play passive after wrecking me for most of the game. He kept trying to play around my q even though he hadnt backed for boots. I killed him first because he even kept trying to stand his ground when he was my vessel and lower than 35% hp. Then I had enough hp to farm a wave and a half after I killed him so I backed for phage (hp and dmg) and the little mr cloak. Of course, teemo bought only dmg items and continued trying to fight me, but this time, I had hp, resistances, more dmg AND my ultimate.

Teemo would have been much better off if he had backed for mana regen and armor. That way, he might have been able to increase his cs lead with his blind and his ability to stay in lane. If I hadnt gotten the kill on him I probably wouldnt have bought the mr cloak. I probably should have, but I wouldnt have. He would have been able to keep me docile or at least pulled a gank from ww. As it turned out. He completely gave me the lane by allowing me to buy hp, ad, and mr with one back. Worse yet, he refused to accept that he was no longer the lane bully and died under tower multiple times. He should have farmed krugs at least once, because after illaoi clears a wave there is not much you can do to stop from becoming her vessle. No minion block.

Now, the reason I got SO fed is because teemos team tried ganking a fed illoai a little later in the game. It went poorly for them because they brought 0 hard cc which I can testify does indeed wreck illaoi if you disrupt her jumping around during ulti.

So tips for illaoi:

  1. ranged champions can dominate her early game, but need to give ground once her q has lvls. Buy some boots or something. Expect her to dominate around lvl 9 if shes not been killed.
  2. if she clears a wave under your tower back the fuck off unless you want to have her tentacle babies.
  3. you need hard cc, disengage and ranged dmg to beat her ult.
  4. I expect illaois worst nightmare is gnar top ww jung.

I ended the game 10/0/something.

I would imagine Teemo should do well against Illaoi for several reasons.

  • Being a ranged champion, he can pick off tentacles easily and should never be in range of Illaoi's W either. This coupled with the passive MS he gains from his own W means you're hard pressed to actually hit him with anything, assuming he knows how to kite.

  • His Toxic Shot renders Test of Spirit nearly worthless 1v1, since each tick of the DoT will reduce the spirit's duration by an additional second. This is assuming she can even land Test of Spirit in the first place.

There aren't actually many champions Teemo straight-up beats in lane assuming equal skill, but I could easily see Illaoi being one of them simply because she can't easily DO much to him. The Teemo you were against just got cocky by the sounds of it and forfeited his edge over you.

Here are some points to why Teemo destroy illaoi at any phase of the game.

-Teemo is Ranged and is AP -Teemo is Way faster than illaoi -Teemo has better Zone control -Teemo has Blind which counter any melee champion

All you do as Illaoi is Farm with Q and cry at your tower waiting for the jungler. You can always E him but he will still outrade you, and that passive tentacle is fucking easy to dodge.

I guess my teemo just sucked. Wish i could remember this game better. Cant really talk details about it.

lmao, Teemo has 0 advantage against Illaoi. Illaoi Q 850 range, E 900 range, Teemo Q 680 range. Illaoi Q lower CD than teemo. Illaoi has gap closer so Teemo W uselss against gap closer. Illaoi's E is literally a global ability that deals damage even when you are back in base.

And Illaoi deals % max HP damage which means she builds full tanky but still does tons of damage while teemo is squishy af.

If you lose Illaoi against Teemo, then it means you don't know how to play Illaoi.

I never win against Illaoi as Teemo, she is my No. 2 hated top lane champion, only secondary to Darius.
