Teemo
BY OneTwoTrickFour
gives absurd damage and thus lane pressure. Through ignite you can get kills you normally wouldn't be able to get and the ability to 100-0 someone reliably. Pick it on AP Teemo and Support Teemo - You will usually win lane and thus win the game, although you do lose tp pressure (keep that in mind for baron calls).
gives great kiting potential and synergises very well with a beefy and attack speed reliant AD build. I've seen iPav take it and agree that it has excellent uses, both as an aggresive and passive summoner Spell. With it's short cooldown and perfect synergy with 
, ghost is a fair alternative to ignite on AD Teemo.
gives you a great safety net in case of a hard lane and allows you to follow the enemys roam. However in my opinion it isn't aggressive enough and lowers your pressure on the map. You are better of getting the first blood tower rather than following the enemy. You should only pick this on AD Teemo or in very hard matchups (when inexperienced)

Teemo has always been a versatile, fun and interactive champion, who could be picked as an underdog pick and yet still succeed. Riot hasn't been nice to our badger, but thankfully Teemo has been able to stay on top with his simple but effective kit and his ability to itemize, no matter what role or seosen.
AP Teemo is the best standing by the patch 7.12. I shall be covering other roles and their build paths, playstyle and unique facts about their kits.
Starting with this small Introduction, I hope you will enjoy the guide, give it a fair rating and if you have questions, you won't be too shy to ask me^^
Is a weird phenomenom by himself. He has been repeadatly nerfed and stomped to the ground. He is countered by a lot of champions and still noone likes to lane against him. He has the cutest design and skins, yet all the people get instantly tilted, as soon as they see Teemo. So why is that? true function is his ability to completly tilt and destroy the calmness of the enemy. is made in a way, which sets him up for disaster. Thanks to power creep and mobility creep you would think he was left behind in the dust. He has no exceptional utility. He has no burst like 
. His DPS isnt anything noteworthy compared to 
and his blind as a cc is laughable. You could call Teemo a master of none, but at the same time he is a jack of all trades.
, with the most functional and yet simple kit in league. and head to top. Level E and give your jungler, if needed, a leash. Let the enemy push into you by only focusing on cs and not attacking the enemy. This will prevent a gank. If you have ignite and feel confident in a 1v2, focus on cs and aa the enemy every time you arent csing, but be careful, Minions deal a lot of damage early game! The best way to harass is with AA-Q-AA, it will prock 
or
and come back to your lane.
where the enemy is likely to go through, kill the unsuspecting enemy. or roam mid or laneswap with bot to get first tier tower bot.
for more vision control and easier assasination. Ensure Vision with . Splitpush as much as possible and force the JGL top. Get as many kills as possible. Use the trick I've discribed in the chapter beforehand. Roam mid lane and push those towers down or to get the enemy dragon. Keep flexible, adapt to the situation and try to take as many objectives as possible. Kill the jungler and take his buff with and AA-Q-AA (they easily get surprised with sufficient map control). Control the dragons and barons, Teemo is excellent at securing them through .
to secure barons. Your lvl 3 has a very high range so you can throw it into the baron pit or a minion wave for massive aoe burst. Use your to keep the adc blinded and for objective control. Dont show up botlane, because it will instantly mean, that the enemy can do baron!
Is Teemos most fun, yet hardest to use ability.where the enemy is likely to go through, kill the unsuspecting enemy. Easy as that :p This trick is easiest with AP Teemo, but it is definitly possible with the AS-Variant of the build.
:
) I use these a lot, as shrooms are easily killed by oracles or die because time ticks out and are thus only useful for their slow and damage in 1v1's. in anticipation of a gank on the gank path, as it not only will give you vision of the area and prevent a ward, but if the enemy jungler goes for the gank he might die in a 2v1 againt you! only last 5 Minutes, so dont waste shrooms on passages, where the jungler might never come! Also shroom bushes, even if you know there isnt anyone. Just to go sure for the future.

is a very solid first item if youre not under huge pressure! and basic AP Teemo runes. However 
isn't that bad if you max Q, because this is a very AP heavy glass cannon shroom build, which is the only time you can efficiently use the mastery on. Your shrooms do deal a lot of damage and combined with your q burst you
may be able to cheese some kills out of the enemy laner. for an aggresive lane, for a burst lane and against something like 
.
not good - you lose mid game pressure and the stats arent that useful.
again not needed, only scales of Q, terrible Synergy with build.
too clunky - can be used against squishy Teams in loe elo.
You should in my opinion always go bloodrazor as runic echoes is weird to use and build around. Nonetheless I will post a build for runic Teemo down below. Teemo Jungle is excellent at Closing out games, Splitpushing, providing damage and assasinating. His ganks are rather poor, but basic aa's aplying red buff are more than enough till master elo, trust me. 
over 
, as it offers more long time value and you only need those 2 charges for your first clear. With proper kiting you can clear the jungle while only needing 1 refillable potion charge.
or 
, going full glass cannon and trying to snowball the early game
, trying to oneshot the adc and providing the AP dmg for the team. I prefer Bloodrazor to minimize the damage of the camps. You can do blue buff without taking 1 hit! If you want to see another good high elo Teemo Jungle player check out Hikashikun!If you like a challenge or want play with friends in a normal game, your build should look as follows:
and then everything is optional. Go for more AP dmg. Some options may be:
.Try to go for the most cost effective items, usually those are 
and .
Be careful, as most supports will either catch, kill, poke or outsustain you. IF you're lucky and you can poke the enemy adc with your maxed out q. Try to go for all ins with .
Teemo support is weird and I only suggest picking it when you know you have a lane dominant adc such as 
or
