Who Wins
- Pre-6 you lose most trades due to Teemo's range advantage and Q blind negating your auto attacks.
- Post-6 you win all-ins with R engages since you can gap close through his kiting and burst him down before he can respond effectively.
How to Trade
- Wait for Teemo to use Q on minions or waste it, then engage with Q-E combo to proc passive and auto attack.
- Disengage immediately with W shroud to avoid extended trades where his poison and range advantage become problematic.
Wave Control
- Let Teemo push early levels and farm safely with Q near your tower where he can't harass freely.
- After level 6, look to freeze the wave just outside your tower range to set up R all-ins when he steps up to farm.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to trade auto attacks with Teemo early game or chase him through minion waves where he can kite you.
- Avoid using E aggressively without W available since you'll be stuck in melee range taking poison damage and auto attacks.
