I have been playing Teemo since Season 3
My highest achieved rank as Teemo is Diamond 4.
I have played over 2,000 games of Teemo across 5 accounts
Here are my thoughts on all Teemo Setups

Teemo shrooms poison over 4 seconds They apply spell effects as an Area Damage Type Every tick of the shroom re applies those 2 seconds The 4th and final tick bleeds DFT for 2 seconds, totaling 5 seconds https://s16.postimg.org/5nlzs0iol/Shrroms.jpg

As for DFT dmg in chart level 1 I am accounting for my standard runes and masteries Thunderlords doesnt deal 13 base, it deals 10 base, when you factor in AP / AD from runes and masteries its 13 Same for DFT, yes the base is 8, but factor in AP / AD from runes and masteries

Vs pantheon what works for me is all early game stats, i love scaling HP too But i dont want any weakness early game vs pantheon, So far I have won the last 8 lanes against pantheons so it seems to be working great for me

After the stacking Dorans nerf, I havent run into any Nasus maxing E anymore, yes that was a harder matchup, but so was any tank with 3 dorans rings wave clearing for free

So you were gonna write a whole post about it and not give me a chance to reply?? Or you were gonna link back to let me know?

Huge CDR difference between the two choices for vs tanks/vs fighters builds. How much does that impact his gameplay? I'm specifically thinking of his shrooms here.

The on hit build has no CDR, because your damage is mostly on-hit from auto attacks. CDR doesnt affect teemo much at all, since he can "save stacks" of mushrooms, nobody ever asked "hey teemo do you have your ult?"

Nashors is only built in builds that have AP, because you need AP to make the on hit scale, so nashors and liandries go hand in hand. The AP buffs the on hit, and the cdr from nashors allows more shrooms from CDR.

That's wrong though. CDR is a valuable stat for Teemo because he can have more mushrooms on the map. With 40% CDR on rank 3 R you can plant mushroom every 12 seconds, which translated to up to 27 mushrooms on map at once. With 0% CDR you can plant shrooms every 20 seconds, which translates to 17 mushrooms on map at once.


Teemo mushrooms apply 5 seconds of DFT

False. They apply 4 seconds of DFT, just as you'd expect.


DFT on Q Dart - 16 damage all levels

Again, incorrect information. It's 8 damage at all levels (applies 8 ticks of damage, each deals only 1 base damage).


As far as Teemo vs Nasus matchup goes - it's actually in favor of Nasus from almost beginning (first 2 levels Teemo might have advantage). Wither is way more crippling for Teemo than blind is for Nasus and by maxing E, Nasus can outpoke Teemo (which, unlike Nasus - has no innate sustain).


All three pages will use AS marks because they are necessary to control the minion wave

I disagree with that. Against Pantheon (and other champions that you can trade safely only with Q) you really want to take M. Pen. marks - since chances are you won't get an occassion to actually use that Attack Speed at all (usually you can allow yourself only a single attack to last hit and Q the Pantheon - making AS runes completely useless in this matchup).

That said, in matchups where you can allow yourself to auto, AS marks are quite possibly the best.


Also, a curiosity in your Anti-Panth rune page - you clearly realize the worth of Armor Quints (as you put 2 of them in vs AD rune page), yet you don't use them in the matchup where they would be most effective. I recommend Mpen Marks, 5-6 Scaling Health Seals, 3-4 Flat Health Seals (for that early survivability), 9 Flat AP Glyps and 3 Armor Quints against Pantheon. Try it out.


I'm surprised that your Hybrid Anti-tank Build doesn't include both Liandry and Frozen at the same time. Due to this combination you can get improved Liandry proc from Q by just autoattacking the enemy.


Also, considering that this is an educational video, I would like to see actual stats of enemies, your stats, items, dragons, etc. in those clips. It's as if I just post this:

And say that Shroomo is clearly the best build (though, dealing over 1350 damage in one shroom is impressive, no matter what).


Now, putting that all aside - this is a very informative video, and I'm sure it will help a ton of new Teemo players and we could always use more Teemo mains in League (with that I just sentenced my post to be downvoted into oblivion).

EDIT: Oh wow, I was sure I was writing a completely new post, not a reply. Ah well, it will do.

Hey, are you planning to do a new video with the new runes?
