Teemo Mid Actually Wrecks

Simple Moon·Dec 15, 2015·1 votes·840 views

I don't care about the hate for Teemo from the public, he was one of my first champs, my highest mastery rank and a blast to play. What can I say I love the furry little monster. I consider myself a fairly excellent Teemo player. Recently went 23/4 in ranked with him. Yet I've always played him top. Recently decided to play him mid and it is just as good as top! You can harass just about anyone. You can blind the hard engage champs to negate their damage and you can literally self prevent ganks. Line the sides of midlane with shrooms and you have a mine field to defend against sieges, ganks and even prevent the enemy mid from warding bushes for fear of the almighty noxious shrooms. Just do it.

Some salt, fresh ground pepper and hot flames of a certain handsome fireman would Teemo have potential

I used to main Teemo mid, however long range mages just decimate you with ease. You can play around them with your movement speed, but it takes a lot of skill, so hats of to you.

Teemo works till a long range mage poops on you cause you're a short range fur ball.

Not if played correctly. I did just fine against a zed (long range spells), Lux, etc.

I too have destroyed bad players that threw an advantageous matchup. That isn't how I make a judgement. I make judgements based on what would happen if two players who are roughly equal in skill/experience face off.

The simple fact is that mages destroy Teemo.

You can't destroy a LEGEND.

It's probably only really good against aa reliant champions, mainly because your blind will do so much to negate all that damage, Against mages, it does practically nothing besides damage.

Teemo's movement speed does lend itself well to avoiding skillshots, though, and really a huge portion of most mage's kill potential comes from ganks, which Teemo's very good at avoiding I wouldn't write it off, but I wouldn't say he's better there than top either.

This is exactly what I was saying. With his speed boost to avoid situations and his blind he is a real threat. Avoid most midlane strikes and engage just poking them down and you are set. Ganking is rough against him do to shrooms and being able to blind most aa jungle champs. Plus if they try to dive you, poison+turret hits and it's game over.

Ahri outranges, outpokes and outsustains him. Also 1 charm after level 6 = kill. If he somehow gets fed, buy item 3001 . Wouldn't recommend picking Teemo vs assassins.

I don't know man. I'm going to have to try it out. It's dependent on her landing a charm. Stay behind minions and dodge her orb and you can poke her down. Plus full AP and one Q from Teemo takes half of her health.

Obviously Teemo has the potential to win many matchups, in the end it's more about player skill than champion kits, but I can see how Ahri would have an easy time overall, only slightly losing pre-6.

Good point.

Right now hes locked on top where he can make full use of his harass without getting blown up by almost all mages, at least if you are average at him.

On a side note I like to take him against brand, since he needs to land his Q to actually stun me so I can take advantage of the MS steroid and simply dodge his stuns. Hes also good when it comes down to assasinations, I usually try to get into a teamfight from behind or the sides so I can try to kill the enemy mid laner, adcs are small time with him also.
