How to win lane as Gragas against Teemo · 50.68% win rate over 444 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Teemo | His blind (Q) cancels your Drunken Rage-empowered auto and the auto behind your Barrel Roll, and with thin early mana you can't afford to chase his move-speed kite. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | At level 2 Q+W gives you a real sustain trade with damage reduction, so a poke exchange is roughly even and skill-dependent. |
| Level 3 | Teemo | He kites your long Barrel Roll and Body Slam cooldowns with passive move speed and blinds whatever you do land, while you still haven't maxed W. |
| Levels 4-5 | Gragas | W max plus Happy Hour lets you tank poison ticks and out-sustain his pure poke, turning extended trades from level 4-5 in your favour. |
| Level 6 | Gragas | E-flash Body Slam stun into the W-auto and Explosive Cask runs a dashless Teemo down — no escape once you reach him. |
| First item | Gragas | Your Riftmaker/Rocketbelt spike plus Q-E-W bursts him through the blind window while Happy Hour heals the poison back every few seconds. |
| Two+ items | Teemo | Once shrooms wall the river and chokes, his splitpush ignores you and you can't facecheck to engage, so the map slips out of your control. |
Teemo runs the first three levels — his blind (Q) wastes your Drunken Rage (W) empowered auto and shuts off the auto behind your Barrel Roll (Q), while his poison (E) and passive move speed chip and kite you. Worse, your early mana is thin, so don't burn Q chasing him through his move speed; you'll just whiff and have nothing for the next trade. Last-hit at the edge of Q's blast, eat the chip, and wait for the levels where W max lets you out-sustain him.
