Zyra counters Teemo?

So I go against Zyra (as Teemo) with NO vision. She is popping my shrooms with her abilities.

That a fact? Can she pop my shrooms with her seed/growth?

Yes. Mushrooms trigger on any enemy unit. I'm unsure if they specifically trigger on seeds, but they will definitely trigger on grown plants.

Anything with a gap closer counters Teemo.

And Zyra's plants are such gap closers o_O

Yeah man, you didn't know? They go from not yet in existence to right on top of your face and are immune to all cc when doing do.

My plants regularly block skill shots for me so I don't see why they wouldn't de-shroom a dangerous area as well! It is the never ending battle of Fungus vs. Plants.

I am talking about HIDDEN shrooms.

Any unit walking over a shroom pops it. You know this, playing Teemo. Her plants are units. So, making a plant on top of a shroom pops it. She was just smart with guessing where you put them down (or you were shortsighted and put them down in vision of her so she knew exactly where they were and didn't have to guess).

Zyra? Yeah.

Don't forget that Heimerdinger can counter Teemo as well. If Heim spots a Teemo shroom, he can just put a turret on it and explode it.

I've seen Heims try that and they need to know the exact spot it was placed to not get caught in the blast.

Yes Zyra can easily handle Teemo's minefield.

Even if they are hidden. If she can guess where they are or saw you place it, she can take it out.

Hiem can do it too, but he's much more likely to be in range of the explosion radius.

You'll still get the 5g or whatever from killing the plant though. So be sure to thank her for feeding you. It might piss off her team and make them throw the game though negative energy. That is Teemo's strongest weapon after all.

I like your style.

never thought about it but Zyra seeds block blitz grab and poro's so it would make sense if the plants with health could pop teemo shrooms.

As seed? No, I don't think so. As a grown plant? Yes.

I use that in ARAM all the time as Zyra if there's a Teemo. When you see the shroom placed, drop a seed on top, wait a couple seconds, then cast a spell on it so it turns to a plant. Shroom gone. Even without seeing where the shroom was put, it can sometimes be easy to guess where they would have been put.

In my personal opinion (not that it means much here) nothing truly counters the Teemo when the Teemo plays correctly. With very few exceptions, such as high burst champs who can point click. Skill shots can be out played with Teemo easier than imagined and if you rush hourglass you can kill akali's with shrooms before she can kill you.

Ofc some champs make it harder for the Teemo than others and I wouldn't suggest to pick it against one of those if you have the option.

In my opinion only champ that rely on sustained damage and are not very mobile get beat by teemo. This is the reason teemo is found normally in the top lane where you find a lot of the champs I mentioned.

Most mages, like zyra counter teemo.
