How to win lane as Kassadin against Teemo · 51.28% win rate over 39 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Teemo | His blind kills your Nether Blade autos so you can't refund mana, and his E poison chips you while you have no escape — last-hit at range and concede the lane. |
| Level 2 | Teemo | His blind plus passive move speed kite you the instant you step up, and with no W mana sustain you can't trade back, so farm and weather it. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | A maxed Null Sphere (which his blind can't touch) and the start of Nether Blade let you farm through the poison — Void Stone's 15% magic reduction keeps the chip survivable, so the lane is holding even. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | You can sit under tower with Nether Blade's quintupled refund and the Null Sphere shield eating poison ticks; he pokes but can't kill, so it's a wash. |
| Level 6 | Kassadin | Riftwalk is your one clean window — blink in for a Null Sphere + Force Pulse burst or blink out of his shrooms, and a dashless Teemo can't run from the gap-close. |
| First item | Even / skill | Rod of Ages plus Void Stone's magic reduction and the Q shield absorb enough of his all-magic poke that his pressure is no longer free — back to even. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Riftwalk-spam assassinates him on sight late, but his shrooms zone chokes and objectives — sweep vision or your blink lands on a mushroom, so it stays even. |
Concede these levels — you have only Null Sphere and no escape, while his blind (Q) shuts off your Nether Blade autos so you can't proc the W mana refund, and his E poison ticks you down for free. Note that the blind only stops basic attacks; your Null Sphere still lands, so use it and auto-range last-hits to farm rather than walking into his autos for a full trade. The mercy is Void Stone: every point of Teemo's poke is magic damage, so it hits you for 15% less than it would a normal target — the chip is survivable if you don't panic and let your mana evaporate.
