This makes him feel more likea sneaky assassin with burst damage.
So, lets take a look at what Teemo’s ability kit can bring to the Rift.
With consistent attacks, the effect can last indefinitely.
It also gives Teemo a key advantage against Tryndamere by countering his ultimate.
Blinding Dart
Teemo’s attack deals magic damage andblinds the target for a brief period.
Blinded enemies' auto attacks miss, dealing no damage and not applying on-hit effects.
Also, it can help ignore Garens silence.
Moving outside of bushes breaks the effect.
Meanwhile, using Move Quick depletes it faster.
Soit seems more about distance covered rather than time.
Once Teemo exits Camouflage, hegains bonus attack speed.
Use Guerrilla Warfare to position yourself and wait for enemy laner to come close.
When they do,hit them with Blinding Dart, followed by auto-attacksto deal a quick burst of damage.
Since they cant see you, they wont know where you went.
Use Noxious Trap toclear waves faster.
Both the explosion and the damage-over-time effect can increase your chances of stealing it.
Teemos ultimate can be used tocontrol the area near Drakes, Herald, Elder, and Baron.
Place mushroomsaround and behind the pits or along paths enemies must cross.
This forces them to waste time clearing traps while giving your team more time to secure objectives.
you might alsouse Noxious Trap to escape.Drop a few along your escape routeto create the illusion of a minefield.
Enemies without lens will often hesitate to chase.
