Teemo

Teemo approaches every assignment as if the Bandle Scouts have never handed him anything more critical, and whether that reads as charming or worrying depends entirely on whether you’re the one in his crossbow’s sights.

• He roams the map with boundless enthusiasm, pushing forward through hazards that would send most creatures running.
• He holds to the Bandle Scout’s Code so strictly that he can overlook the broader damage his actions cause.
• Other yordles argue over whether the Scouts exist as a real organization at all, yet anyone who has spent time with Teemo never questions how earnest he is or how firmly he believes in it.
• His home is Bandle City, a drifting realm that yordles move into and out of instead of a fixed spot on any map.

That same unwavering drive shapes his combat style. Teemo is a Marksman and Mage who can be played in the ADC or Mid lane, and he draws on Mana. Guerrilla Warfare pays off for players who wait: hold still for a while, ideally in brush, and he disappears completely, staying invisible until one of his attacks ends the effect. Blinding Dart strikes anyone caught in range with a flat blind, while Toxic Shot ensures that each basic attack that follows adds poison lasting several seconds on top of that blind. Move Quick makes him quicker than most until a champion or turret lands a hit, and it can also be activated for a burst of even greater speed that ignores that normal interruption. His signature ability, Noxious Trap, lays an explosive mushroom that, once set off, erupts into a poison cloud that slows and damages. These are the same mushrooms he sprinkles along jungle paths to flag danger near Dragon or Baron. Set beside other small-framed fighters such as Veigar, Tristana, Corki, and Rumble, Teemo stands out less for brute strength and more for the way he stays unseen until the moment it’s far too late to react.
