Beginner Rule
Don't chase Teemo through unwarded areas — that's often exactly what he wants.
Teemo is a ranged lane bully who excels at poke, vision control, and frustrating melee champions. He wants to wear enemies down with poison while controlling areas using Noxious Trap (R) — his mushroom traps. Many beginners become impatient and chase Teemo through trapped areas.

QWhat it does
Obscures an enemy's vision and blinds them dealing damage.
How to play against
Being blinded makes your basic attacks miss. Don't auto-attack during the blind — use abilities only.
WWhat it does
Passive: gains Move Speed until struck by an enemy champion. Active: grants sprint briefly.
How to play against
He's surprisingly fast. Don't chase him without a CC ability — he outruns most champions.
EWhat it does
Passive: each basic attack poisons and slows on-hit.
How to play against
Every auto poisons and slows. Don't let him freely auto you — back away after each hit.
RWhat it does
Places invisible exploding mushrooms anywhere.
How to play against
Mushrooms cover the entire map late game. Use a Sweeper constantly. Don't enter unwarded areas or brush.

Guerrilla Warfare: if he stands still briefly he goes invisible. He can hide anywhere by simply standing still in a bush. He's a permanent ambush threat in brush — use a sweeper.
