How to counter teemo guide ,by a teemo main .

SirTeemoMushroom··8 votes·40,800 views

hey, i made a post some minites ago , about me quitting teemo , so i wanna tell you guys how to counter teemo because obviously i am not going to play with this devil again.. PS. i know teemo mains will hate me .

  1. If you are on a ranked game, and you see your opponent has locked teemo top, pick champions : Fiora DariusRenekton DrMundo Garen Jax Mordekaiser Volibear , those are the champions that counter teemo so hard his E/Q don't do almost nothing after level 6.
  2. if you pick for example Fiora start with this item 3156 and then item 3074 . your first time after farming MUST BE item 1033 and then complete item 3111 you will have a ton of magic res, teemo will be useless specially if u get them early in the game.
  3. if you get a tank champion like DrMundo go for item 3065 OR item 3102 and item 3111 . teemo will be 100% useless. 4.Remember : everytime you go for a cs , teemo will punish you ! how? Q-A-A +thunderlords which this is about 400-450 damage level 3-4 .
    so farm safely.
  4. once teemo hits level 6 go back to the store and get item 3341 and item 2055 in order to disable mushrooms . but where are the mushrooms? 1. bushes , (all of them) 2. corners 3. the road from mid-top , where a jungler can come.
  5. tell you jungler to prioritise your lane first, specially early game. in order to kill teemo as many times as possible. to make him useless early game, and you and your jungler take Gold ---> items .

we are in a new meta so teemo mains buy first item item 3146 ,
how that works on teemo : 1 healing from A + E (continues healing for 4 sec.) 2. gives 80 AP which that gives more power to Q-E-R which increase the healing.
3.once you are in a weak position you will simply get a huge damage of combined AE-Q-gunblade Active- thunderlords - AE-AE-AE . and maybe you will get a shroom straight in your face. no worries ! you won't lose a lot of health , you will actually die.


Always remember a true teemo mains carries 1 shroom ALWAYS . so, once you get close to him he will place a shroom under him in order to make you scared and go away or take a big damage over time and slow you if you proceed to kill him.


how to get close to teemo and kill him? very simple ! teemo has almost zero armor,magic res. AND he has no escape points except of his W which makes him faster.. so how you do it it's actually kinda easy. 1.let him waste his Q , 2.go back a little bit 3. once the Q is over go straight to him face and start attacking him , you will need to do that 1-2 times in order to kill him in early game.
4. REMEMBER : his Q has only 5.6 CD , so once you do step 3 (all your skills and some autos) go away except if he has very low health and you feel like you are gonna kill him.

**early game - mid game ** once you are 15-25 minites on the game, remember teemo will start ganking other lanes(and placing shrooms on key points) , specially bot , so always keep an eye on him.

**Late game ** always remember to have item 3341 , specially when you are going to teemo's base , the road of MID-BASE is going to be a minefield of mushrooms . remember late game bushes = deathly bushes , all bushes in late game (close to enemy base) have mushrooms and not only bushes , teemo places 2 shrooms on a bush , 1 on the road to the bush and 1 once you get out of a bush and walk for 500-600 units. in total if u are unlucky you will get damage of 3 shrooms, and die (specially if u are adc) .


What champions a teemo main targets late game

  1. ADC champions : low armor/magic res. (1 shot targets )
    2.junglers : targets with high damage
  2. mid lane mages : same as ADC
  3. supports : in order to prevent healing , shields etc. to opponents

should i follow teemo ? the answer is very simple
NO. once you deal a lot of damage to teemo, he will start running specially in a bush which he prepared before which there are at least 3-4 shrooms around that bush, he will stealth (gain 20-80% attack speed based on level because of passive) and once you try to run away he will start attacking you .

i hope this guide helps..

well maokai counters teemo as well because he is tanky ... pantheon too because he has Q every 2.4 sec(maxed) and stun... but on the post i wrote the bigger counters of teemo

-> Plays teemo adc -> Gets quadrakill -> Looks at post

Hmm....

i made pentakills with tankmo... what's your point?

I don't find your list viable to countering Teemo because an excelling Teemo player knows there are always ways to beat these champions. Teemo scales very well and has many builds to negate the typical builds of others.

If one builds to solely defeat Teemo, they sacrifice their usefulness in teamfights for the other opponents.

A Teemo main will never chase after using their Q. They will use their Q to poke and back up to prevent being destroyed early game by their counters.

In essence, my point is that there are many ways around this "counter" guide because playing Teemo is like playing Shaco. You get into the player's head - not the champions.

as someone with 1000 ish volibear games i can confirm that you never want to pick voli into teeto, unless you are in the jungle of course.

SirTeemoMushroom1 votes

voli counters teemo because of his escape and that skill that throws the enemy back.

i mean sure teeto will never kill voli but teeto out scales voli and can still safely deny him in lane for a bit.

Teemo is mid laner

SymbolicFear1 votes

Teemo is best top lane, he is barely useable in mid lane from my experience, best case with teemo, you want to go against a beefy top laner that is melee, anyone ranged can prove SOME trouble to teemo as he has to pay more attention to what he does. But melee is best case scenario for teemo to fight.

How about Chogath? Take Aery and Scorch, Q deals formidable poke early, then max it first.

When I play Cho I always build item 3111 item 3800 item 3190 item 3512
