Who Wins
- You win pre-6 trades through superior range and Q poke, but Teemo's Q blind negates your auto-attack damage during all-ins.
- Post-6 you gain kill pressure with R engage, but Teemo's mobility with W and blind still makes extended fights difficult.
How to Trade
- Poke with Q from maximum range, then use E to slow if Teemo tries to engage, backing off immediately to avoid his poison damage.
- Never commit to extended auto-attack trades where his Q blind and poison can turn the fight.
Wave Control
- Push early waves with Q to establish range advantage and prevent Teemo from freezing near his tower.
- Maintain slow pushes to keep minion advantage while staying at max range for Q poke.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't get baited into melee range trades where Teemo's Q blind completely negates your damage output.
- Avoid face-checking bushes after level 6 where Teemo's R mushrooms can set up easy kills.
