He poisons your body but also your mind ! He doesn't even need to be present to kill everyone and laugh ...

Welcome to The most Fabulous source of everything brave Warriors and Amazons of the rift,

I discovered old parchments full of dark secrets about a mysterious yordle who will either save or doom the world one day. There I found an easy build fitting any match-up / any lane with unavoidable automatic effects for the only champion of League Of Legends able to get kills by basically doing nothing : Teemo.

WILL YOU SAVE THE WORLD ?

WILL YOU DOOM THE WORLD ?

Now it is time for you to benefit from this ancient wisdom and to make the legend rise again but BEWARE :
This is powerful knowledge encrypted with the summoner's code only meant for the greatest.

If you are not ready yet, I advise you this excellent Beginners guide to start.

Do not read any further if you are not ready !

Welcome to League Of Legend

Welcome into Revelations Teemo guide

Teemo is a stealthy, cunning, fast running, deadly and adorable cute yordle scoutsman with invisible traps.
He often drives mad opponents (F**K these bloody mushrooms ! where is he ?) who tend to call him Satan.

Pros

+ Ranged champion easy to play with no skill-shot
+ Strong damage and good farming from lvl 1 to 17
+ Versatile champion able to manage any match-up
+ Lovely yordle !
+ Evil gameplay !

- Squishy and often targeted (global taunt power)
- No stun or dash to escape
- Sensitive to and reveal capacities
- You may get insulted because you play
- You may get reported because you play

Cons

The origins of the devil

｡◕‿◕｡ Back to top ｡◕‿◕｡

Teemo runes choices are made in order to find the most interesting powers and mechanics to be an honorable little devil. Here are my current choices after very looooooong aeons of thinking and testing :

PRIMARY PATH

SORCERY

Sorcery will provide very high damage from the lvl 1 with enough mana for .

ARCANE COMET

The Aery controversy : Aery is a great 1 vs 1 Rune fitting most builds but it have some downsides too (less team orientated, various delays for Aery to come back, reveal much more precisely where you are, lower AP scaling, aso.)

Arcane Comet is a great AOE effect which hardly miss thanks to the wonderful slow of and improve your teamfight impact. The downside is it may indicate your current location but you can change this into an asset using it as a bait signal, placing another and moving elsewhere.

is decent but the 2 other choices are way better.

MANAFLOW BAND

is not that great for Teemo.

Manaflow Band is the best choice and useful to poke early game. Don't forget to roam in the river for plants and try to get blue buff in addition.

is not that useful for Teemo having already a speed increase and a speed boost in his kit and a potential slow on most opponents (Grrr Master Yi ... but wait ... you're blind ? mouhahaha !) with his mushrooms. Can be interesting on other builds though.

ABSOLUTE FOCUS

is not that great, better get or steal a blue buff, it is free and available long before the level 10.

is interesting and can be a very good alternative to choose.

Absolute Focus gives you extra damage if your life is above 70% which should be the case 95% of the time having sustain item, dodge skill-shots and hide capacities. Downside may create an interesting deceiving aspect to exploit.

SCORCH

Scorch to have an additional automatic damage from lvl 1 every 20s for the first ability hit, it is slightly weak but always usable.

is interesting but very situational and orientated towards full control of the river.

is better from mid /late game compensating Teemo falling behind but it is too much gambling on game length.

SECONDARY PATH

PRECISION

Precision will provide attack speed and extra damage for kills.

LEGEND: ALACRITY

Legend: Alacrity will improve attack speed to farm and split-push faster. It gives an interesting ratio to keep in mind : 1 kill = 1 Dragon = 4 Red or Blue buff = 20 minions for the purpose of extra attack speed stacks (up to 18% max)

COUP DE GRACE

Coup de Grace to improve the probability to kill low-life opponents especially fleeing opponents walking on a . The AP boost in case of kill participation is especially good for teamfights.

Alternative :

rune with for true damage and for sustain (synergizing with ) as both works with our mushrooms.

｡◕‿◕｡ Back to top ｡◕‿◕｡

Harmony and equilibrium, Yin and Yang ☯, one escape spell for Life and one damage spell for Death.

will help to escape death, finish fleeing opponent or allow risky moves like launching one or two in the middle of opponents and minions before trying to run away.

will help get kills with another DOT damage also reducing opponents heals and regeneration by 40%. stays slightly better than all other options whatever your lane.

ABILITIES SEQUENCE

Lvl

SKILLS ORDER

>> >> >> >>

first because :
1) it helps get first blood if there is an invade and avoid all risks to steal your jungler's buff.
2) it triggers from lvl 1 effects like and granting strong damage.
3) it allows an immediate poke lvl 1 AA / Q / AA, makes opponent miss farm and start tilt him.
Exception : Pick E first (Q second) when facing , or .

Pick all the next levels until maxed (except lvl 4 for and lvl 6 for ) This order increase the option to get an early kill between level 1 and level 3.

Then max (except lvl 11 for ) as it provides nice extra damage and extended infamous blind time so useful to survive most opponent(s) and ganks attacks.

Finally complete (except lvl 16 for ), the point put lvl 4 is most needed to dodge skill-shots and escape chasing enemies but will be sufficient until late game.

Of course pick this level 6, 11 and 16 as the build is mainly around and these powerful hidden Mushrooms shall be the best friends of your whole team.

｡◕‿◕｡ Back to top ｡◕‿◕｡

Following the concept of spells, runes and powers that are easy or automatic to trigger, I advise items which don't need activation so you are sure to not forget to use them (told you it's a lazy build) and bringing :

Very good

ATTACK POWER

MAGIC PENETRATION

Good

ATTACK SPEED

COOLDOWN REDUCTION

Decent

ON-HIT EFFECTS

DEFENSE

More precisely here is a standard base but always adapt it to the opponent team composition :

- Start -

Provides life and mana sustain to poke / trade easily in early, 3s DOT damage and remains useful until late game. If you Sup you may consider + 2 instead and get later then .

- Early game -

A must-have to buy in priority at the first back granting a boost around 70 AP (because of the adaptive damage boost) + 10% CDR especially great for .

Grants extra mobility useful to dodge most skill-shots. Alternatively you can buy before a defensive item like vs AP champ or vs AD champ.

It will help to wave clear and destroy towers faster + grants 10% CDR which will allow you to get more . Can be alternative first item to rush first back if farming is crucial (like ADC or when opponent has strong wave-clear like Anivia, Morgana, Heimerdinger, aso.)

- Mid game -

It is a core item which will add AP and extra damage on hit. From then use even more (to get towers, farm in the jungle, aso.) as you've reached max Attack Speed and alternating invisible / visible with the extra AS is now worth.

It is the best boots choice improving the Magic Penetration for and bringing enough speed for better dodges, run away and roaming.

It is a core item which improves greatly damage even against tanks with both extra AP and damage based on health %.

- Late game -

To have almost true damage with huge Magic Penetration for our precious . If you are rich, you may consider instead.

Finally to improve the damage of with extra AP + huge AP bonus for , and . This complete the core build.

Last (or fast if you play Sup), complete this defensive item if you bought the or if you bought the (or pick anything else you feel better like / , , or )

Test : Check if you guess right which position fits the best the below builds and don't open the trap !

(Hint : Consider you did adapt the standard build to face tanky Top, strong AD Mid and strong AP Bot)

Mid / Top / Sup / ADC ?

Reward if you did find the 4 correct positions and did not open the trapped build

｡◕‿◕｡ Back to top ｡◕‿◕｡

Concerning the game :

First, every plan, as good as it can be, will be confronted with reality where various problems will appear :

Now you are ready for anything, remember the goal of the game and how it will work to reach it :

Destroy within a lane the first tower

↪ to destroy the second tower

↪ to destroy the inhibitor tower

↪ to destroy the inhibitor

↪ to destroy the 2 nexus towers

↪ to destroy the nexus ! WP GG !

It is very nice and fun to rush after kill and revenge (check the reward is worth at least) but it won't make you win a game for sure while getting and defending these objectives will make you reach victory.

To help you there are several minor bonus (Jungle plants), 2 bonus (Blue buff and Red buff), 3 major bonus (Rift Herald, Dragon and Nashor) and finally a mini-map you should check super regularly (like every 2s).
More details in the great PsiGuard's jungle Rek'Sai guide.

Concerning Teemo :

- - - - - - - -

General advices :

Become an oracle and predict the future like a great chess master ! Apply Sun Tzu principles of war : attack where the enemy is weak, defend your strategic places and keep in mind the long term objective : Nexus !

- Be shy : use passive a lot, go in bushes, even if obvious it stress opponent.

- Be careful : poke and run away is what you should do most of the time, especially early game.

- Be patient : focus creation of good trap condition and avoid diving towers or chasing opponents.

Advices Lvl 1 to 5 :

Be fast at beginning and choose between invade, helping your jungler or rush to hide on your lane.

- Don't die ! reaching lvl 6 to get is key, better xp and farm than greed and die.

- Farm decently to get or asap (unless you Sup then just poke). Placing one AA on each minions with the poison DOT will help outfarm opponent and push fast .

- Poke opponent and make him miss minions with (especially the cannon minion)

Advices Lvl 6 and beyond :

Use wisely your modifying their positioning regularly to create ShroomLand !

⮚ should be under your tower, closely outside minions path, on potential Jungler path or launch on minions only if there is a champion impacted too. Avoid farming with them unless to destroy a tower with a fast push or save a tower from a big wave of minions.

⮚ Use the "bump" effect when a is launched on another .

⮚ Don't place them too close from each others, DOT don't add.

⮚ Always keep in mind your "escape route" with at least 1 or 2 already positioned and 1 in reserve on you which may save your life in case of emergency.

⮚ From mid game, try to always keep a placed at Nashor entrance pit.

Advices Top / Mid / Bot :

♬ Mid lane : The best place to have a strong impact on the whole game and carry. It's also the best place to counter an impactful opponent and to avoid feeders trollers to be at this key position.

♫ Top lane : Great place to reach and destroy the top inhibitor solo and control Nashor area.

♫ Bot lane Sup : Great place to insure a good teamfight power and get ~~kills~~ assists.

♪ Bot lane ADC : Average place with middle range and the (rarely met) need to have a good Sup.

Tower trapping example for each lane but find YOUR most efficient spots to place each :

- Top Lane -

Focus to get the tower and roam to get kills in the jungle or on other lanes if your opponent is tanky.

- Mid Lane -

Rush to hide mid at start and if opponent don't wave clear well, push hard and try to get the first tower.

- Bot Lane -

Beware a lot the potential burst lvl 1/2 from 2 opponents, avoid early stuns at all costs ( ☠)

Use a lot the bushes and invisibility to pressure opponents and use on opponent ADC.

If you are ADC, it is useful to work duo-lane style sharing farm when you try to make an ambush.

｡◕‿◕｡ Back to top ｡◕‿◕｡

If ambushed and not spotted, place so opponent sees glimpse of it and watch him stress

DIFFICULY :
Easy : can't miss
Medium : some skill and right timing is needed
Hard : some luck and patience is needed

Trap the surroundings of and other visible bonus placed by your team (Bard heals, aso)

Stand still to become invisible when or use their ultimate on you

Become invisible right in front of enemies to taunt their spells (fun if they can't launch them without target)

Use /laugh and /all for jokes, taunts and comments which may tilt opponent(s) and help trapping

When chased, turn a corner or enter a brush, stop, become invisible and let enemies pass

Put a mushroom where opponent will spawn or resurrect (, , and )

Run from brush A to B being spotted, backward in brush A and watch enemies search brush B

If your inhibitor is free, trap heavyly its surroundings and wait the (not so) smart opponent(s) to backdoor

Use just before an opponent try to hit the jump plant to escape and kill him while he "miss"

Hide* in the Dragon pit or Nashor pit and choose between "kill them all" or "steal" if opponents try to do it

* : Use "target champion only" option to hide literally inside Nashor and other big jungle monsters.
Finally, here is a great video of some various funny plays which may inspire you : Teemo plays and Evil plans

｡◕‿◕｡ Back to top ｡◕‿◕｡

Playing Teemo is never neutral, for your opponents of course but also for your companions. You may need to reassure them from the champions selection : "I will play well, I will help, we will win together !"
(You can also do the opposite but that would deserve a "Trolling" chapter not covered within this guide)

Communication is key so explain them you trap, you won't go towards them, they need to bait towards you.
They can also help confusing opponents with /all trashtalk like "report Teemo afk", "he's at your red", aso.

WARNING : Beware when ambushed and your team-mates cross the line between you and opponent(s). Being aware may avoid you silly death like due to trying to hook a team-mate behind you.

Helping team :
Try to trap enemy jungler paths, Nashor pit and other team towers with which will both help and gives you occasionally free kills. For teamfights try to flank or get behind opponents staying invisible and wait teamfight start to attack targeting mainly opponents ADC or Mid.

Sacrificing team :
If ~~lazy~~ too far from a teamfight obviously soon lost, better prepare an ambush under tower. Once opponents come launch a within them, start the combo (cf below) and launch a 2^d 2s after the first. You may get a double or triple kill on such action.

｡◕‿◕｡ Back to top ｡◕‿◕｡

"The most difficult aspect in the AA / Q / AA combo is to press Q right between the 2 AA you see ?"

has another mythical combo with cataclysmic effects. These revelations must be kept secret !

Ideal conditions : An opponent walks on a while you are standing still nearby.

Perfect combo : / Auto Attack / / Auto Attack / .
Breathe, focus, relax, this combo seems way too complex to master but you got the potential I feel it !

It will create several various, cumulative and simultaneous effects :
The combo stays the same even if some of these powers are on cooldown or if you don't have all items.
1) AOE Slow between 30% and 50% during 4s.
2) AOE DOT with 200 to 450 (+ 0.5 AP) magic damage during 4s.
3) AOE vision of enemies for all your team during 4s.
4) Trigger AOE with 30 to 100 (+ 0.2 AP) damage.
5) Trigger with 10 to 30 magic damage.
6) Trigger magic damage DOT of 2% of the enemies health during 3s.
7) DOT with 15 to 30 magic damage during 3s.
8) health and mana regeneration for .
9) 2 AA with each triggering making 10 to 50 (+ 0.3 AP) magic damage and DOT poison with 6 to 30 (+ 0.1 AP) magic damage every second during 4s (DOT don't add but get refreshed)
10) 2 AA with each triggering passive making 15 (+ 0.15 AP) magic damage.
11) with 80 to 260 (+ 0.8 AP) magic damage.
12) Blinding opponent between 1.5 and 2.5s.
13) DOT of 80 to 505 true damage during 5s.
14) reduction of 40% of the opponent's heal and regeneration during 5s.

Considering the extra 50% attack speed from + 20 to 80% attack speed from + 18% attack speed from you will probably place 4 or 5 Auto-Attacks within 2s.
The AOE effects will damage all other opponents close to your primary target, great to defend towers.
All these damage getting a boost increase of 2 to 10 % with and of 7% if opponent is below 40% life with .

Voilà ! Should be an easy kill totally secure (and probably an opponent crying "noob champ" or "WTF")

｡◕‿◕｡ Back to top ｡◕‿◕｡

Victory ! The enemies are defeated and their nexus is no more ... Bravo ! Try to make some final jokes ;)
Don't be too hard though, they may play with you next game and luck always plays a part in victory.
Whatever the result, don't let small things tilt you and just play again or have a break IRL if needed.

Hope you will find in this guide a funny, easy and efficient way to play and to enjoy good games. If something is not clear, read the guide again, then read it a third time, everything should be clear now.

Even if this is obviously the best* guide EU world galaxy of all times written in the marble of divine laws, I am still very open to comments for improvements and will try my best to answer any questions you may have.

Regards,

Dzopilant (Because laugh can save the world !)
