Teemo vs Nasus

GarthBrooksXD··1 votes·29,214 views

I play a lot of teemo. Probably around 1200 on my main account. I can win most match ups but surprisingly Nasus has been problematic. What happens is nasus spams his e on teemo then will flash onto you and q when ur q is on cd then u die. Other issue is usually you get your ass camped out because nasus bitches to his jungler about the harass. So I've been thinking about the issues I've been having and decided maybe this is a good solution:

  1. max q instead of e. Blind is the main reason Teemo is considered a Nasus counter. Teemo can use q to deny stacks and keep it ready to blind nasus in an engage with a lower cd.
  2. start item 1056 not item 1055 or item 1083. This way you get the mana regen you need to spam q.
  3. builditem 3009 quickly so u can escape a gank easier and nasus slow is less effective item 3115 item 3165 first items for cdr and the mana regen. Also this can stop nasus life steal sustain with grievous wounds. With the cdr and mana regen from morello you can spam shrooms in lane and the enemy jungle so you can keep tabs on where he is. It's crucial for Teemo to know where the jungler is at cuz hes often an easy gank target.
  4. after those i think item 3151 cuz we want shrooms to be annoying and hurt tanks more also, then item 3022 over item 3146(but maybe just go gun blade if you're far ahead) since mallet will let you survive maybe 2 late game q. You can kite off/chase with mallet. If he ever got to you then u have 40% cdr on q so you can blind then kite away then q would be up again since its only 4 seconds leveled out with 40% cdr
  5. lastly i think item 3139 is a good last item choice since everyone wants to focus teemo is a fight so you get the qss from it and the lifesteal to charge back up again after a fight.

What do you think? I also know some nasus' will go with an ap build against teemo so there would be a different strategy/build for that of course.

Not sure why teemo would lose to nasus actually. Storm raider's surge denies any of nasus slow so level 1 he's so vulnerable to being pushed from cs. As long as you keep the lane frozen you really can't lose to him. his whole max E strategy goes down the tube once he buys a wit's end. Buy an executioner's calling if you want to deny his life steal or the regen he's buying. If a dog can't stack he can't fight. If he builds ap he's losing his tank stats. if he builds tank he'll get bullied and no ally jungler would gank teemo because it's gonna be a mine field and nasus can't do anything other than giving teemo a surge buff to run away from them.

You need to play teemo against a nasus who knows what hes doing and you'll find out why its pretty hard. I havent ever tried using surge on teemo. That actually sounds like it might work. I'm gonna try it for sure. Thanks.

Well that's because Nasus does counter Teemo, not the other way around. Teemo is squishy harasser and Nasus is a sustaining tank with damage. If you want to win that lane, just wait for him to use his E before going near him. If he refuses to use his E, then the lane will probably be frozen making it an easy gank for your jungle. I don't play Teemo or Nasus much at all though, so don't take my word for it.

i think morello makes more sense and maybe void staff later if their team stacked mr.

nasus usually bulid item 3065 against Teemo so buliditem 3151 item 3135 to make him cry

if nasus gets right runes and masteries he can win that match up

GarthBrooksXD1 votes

i know. its not actually an easy matchup for teemo if nasus knows what hes doing.

MunchCrunchLunch1 votes

yeah mainly because of the perma slow. teemo too squishy. i recommend getting a frozen mallet first item. and then going tank with cdr. and some ap and attack speed. i think thats the best teemo build. on hit ap tank.

AD Teemo fucks any tank with low cd and enemy's in 1v1 can no longer deal damage to him due perm blindness.

Teemo vs 3500 Sion, Sion dealt 0 damage to Teemo and died twice

i played sion vs teemo recently. i maxed e then whittled him down hit one more e then ult him and q finished him off. and sions shield is very nice against teemo too. But I for sure wasnt playing against a full brain Teemo either. Felt like a skill matchup to me though.

Teemo gets out scaled by a lot of tanks. If they survive early laning they often have enough lock potential for a jungle gank or enough burst to kill teemo.

Some examples might be Malphite Gragas Maokai Poppy Trundle Sion Nautilus

Yes teemo beats a lot of those very early on, but if they're patient, build MR, then teemo won't be able to kill them while their base damages are high enough to chunk teemo who has no escapes outside of flash.

I am a Nasus main and I have over one million master with the champion and currently I am Gold II.

Teemo is actually not a problem for me after 9. I max E and push him out lane and once I have a sweeper I ghost and kill him.

I think if you locked in against a Nasus and he maxes E you actually should switch to an AD or On hit build. He will not expect it and he will most likely build Magic resist on the first back.

That way you are doing mixed damage and he can't itemize against you. You also need sustain in lane and lifesteal items may grant you better survivability against him.

Avoid backing before Nasus does and you can adjust your build with what he returns to lane with. Most of the time he will buy Magic resist, so I think an AD or on-hit build is you best best if you are playing against a seasoned Nasus player.

You also need to throw your shrooms under his tower and do a fast push against it. You need to end laning phase as fast as possible. Basically all teemo does is really slow Nasus' scaling so that his game impact comes later than normal. You need to get your team gold and put pressure on the map before he recoups his stacks. He will probably average ONLY 80-100 per 10 minutes against you since he is maxing E. That means you have about 30 minutes before he hits the danger zone (typically it is 20).

After you take his tower you need to group with your team and put your shrooms everywhere. Most nasus players will farm and you need to help you team in other lanes.

Teemo is a pretty easy matchup for Nasus if they are patient and you probably will not win the lane at all unless you adjust your build and take his tower fast. Once the tower is down you can pressure other lanes with your team while nasus farms.

Would you be down to experiment in a custom game with me? teemo vs nasus? it seems like its worth it to play teemo vs nasus to me because you can blind nasus in a teamfight and give your ad time to burst him down. You are the enlightened one here though ive only made it to gold 4 at my best. I'd love to chat about it if you'd accept my request :D

go for a gunblade as your first item, mixed damage with slow nuke and huge sustain will make nasus sad

Nasus outscales Teemo hard to the point where he would just clobber the rodent after a few levels. Nasus's E would chunk Teemo during early laning and it would become hard to prevent him from stacking.

only teemo that are aggressors and hide in the minions are a toughy. but typically though a nasus that tries for e first is a bad nasus. I max Q then W and only do one e for the shred of armor but typicaly with 40% cdr the W will keep teemo slowed so nasus cant be kited, I find E only good for people that stack armor, and that's not a teemo.
