Teemo serves as an unconventional but effective jungle pick, combining DoT (Damage over Time) abilities with strong objective control through mushroom placement. His unique playstyle rewards strategic thinking and map awareness.

Core Abilities Priority:

  1. Toxic Shot (E) - Essential for jungle clear and sustained damage
  2. Blinding Dart (Q) - Primary ganking tool and dueling ability
  3. Move Quick (W) - Mobility and escape mechanism

Optimal Runes:

  • Primary (Precision):

    • Press the Attack
    • Triumph
    • Legend: Alacrity
    • Coup de Grace
  • Secondary (Inspiration):

    • Magical Footwear
    • Cosmic Insight

Build Path:

  1. Starting: Red Smite

  2. Core Items:

    • Nashor's Tooth (First item priority)
    • Sorcerer's Shoes
    • Liandry's Torment
    • Malignance
  3. Situational Items:

    • Shadowflame (vs squishies)
    • Crypbloom (vs burst)
    • Zhonya's Hourglass (vs AD threats)

Key Strategies:

  • Start E for efficient jungle clearing
  • Use mushrooms for vision control and objective setup
  • Leverage PTA + Nashor's for strong early game dueling
  • Prioritize objective control through strategic mushroom placement

Jungle Pathing:

  • Red buff start preferred
  • Early mushroom placement at river entrances
  • Counter-jungle when safe due to strong 1v1 potential

The combination of Press the Attack and Nashor's Tooth provides strong early game pressure, while Liandry's and Malignance create powerful late-game scaling through mushroom control. Focus on objective control and vision dominance through strategic mushroom placement.

Note: This build optimizes Teemo's strengths in the current meta while providing flexibility for different team compositions and enemy threats.
