I've always loved Teemo, but for a while it's been like he's constantly receiving nerfs. His traps do nothing against good players who use wards and trinkets and it's impossible to use him in a teamfight. I see good Teemo players doing cool Baron shroom plays, but that's literally all and it only works if the enemies don't have a control ward. It's super hard to play him when Lee Sin is in almost every game and he doesn't have that many good match ups. He gets outscaled a lot and stuff. How do I play him. T_T help me please.

Teemo's a duelist and a split pusher, not a teamfighter. He's also a pretty good lane bully given he's mostly played top where more than half of the champions being played are melee. He also is a very easy champion to last hit with, so you can usually farm very easily, even under tower. What you want to do is split push a lane when you have vision in the adjacent jungle. This takes some time but you ideally want to setup some wards and shrooms in there to both see if people are coming, and slow them down/dissuade them from coming. He scales best with AP obviously, so you need to get an early-ish lichbane to make your split pushing fast enough. AD Teemo just isn't worth it imo.

Warn your team that you will be split pushing though, otherwise they'll expect you to be with the team and blame you when they lose the 4v5 engage.

Currently ap Teemo hasn't been working for me and all the teemos that I see do kinda okay do this weird semi tanky Teemo build, any word on that? Also how do I handle Gangplank and Nasus? With the new Nasus meta where they get dorans or the other ring item and rush e first, I have a hard time vs Nasus as Teemo. Teemo blind doesn't work on GP's q not and even if it did, his barrels will still get me. I do a really good job at clearing the barrels/ dodging him, but his q outdamages my q and he has a heal, so how do I handle it?

I haven't played Teemo against those recently, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

Against a Nasus using E to push the wave, just focus on getting your farm and denying him the few Q stacks he will get. Harass once he's used E on the wave with quick AA+Q+AA combos. Since he's not focusing on dealing melee damage to creeps he won't sustain much and this should whittle him down fairly quickly. I don't know what your skill order usually but I always go E before Q. The damage is free, helps with last hits and helps with harass tremendously.

GP I'm not too sure. You do have range advantage on him to do AA+Q+AA which will out damage a parley, but once the barrels start being more spammable, it might not be quite as simple.

In any case, if the lane is not in your favor, you can always last hit easily under tower and stay relevant that way. Shrooms under tower makes diving very dicey for the enemy, so that should prenvent most of those. E makes last hitting a breeze too so farm up and get big ;)

Sincerely, a current Nasus main, and a former Garen main. Seriously though, I will eradicate you with extreme prejudice if I ever see you on the Rift.

I understand the Garen part, because Garen sucks vs Teemo, but Nasus is Teemo's nightmare now... Nasus players max e now and just push, it's a nightmare...

Yeah, but Teemo is beyond annoying, no matter how well I do.
