Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 to Teemo's range advantage and blind negating your trading potential, but can survive with Q poke and Doran's Shield.
- Post-6 you win decisively with R engage as your armor scaling makes you nearly immune to his damage while your combo can kill him.
How to Trade
- Use Q for poke and CS when blinded, then look for short E-auto trades when Q is down.
- Don't commit to extended trades pre-6 unless Teemo wastes Q, as the blind duration negates most of your damage output.
Wave Control
- Let Teemo push early and farm safely with Q, then look to freeze near your tower where his aggression becomes risky.
- Post-6, you can break freezes with R engages or force him off waves entirely.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't chase extended trades when blinded - Teemo will kite you and win the trade through sustained damage.
- Avoid using R predictably or when Teemo has flash up, as good Teemos will dodge and leave you without kill pressure for 100+ seconds.
