How to win lane as Kennen against Teemo · 50.53% win rate over 475 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | You out-range him but your fragile body and his blind cancel each other out — last-hit at Q range and don't over-commit without a stun. |
| Level 2 | Kennen | Your second Q plus W on-hit lands a real poke trade he can't sustain, and a two-spell mark stun if he steps up. |
| Level 3 | Kennen | With Q-W chaining you can stun-lock an overstepping Teemo through the mark before his blind resets the trade. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | He kites with move speed and chips with E poison while your hard-commit window isn't open yet — chip and respect. |
| Level 6 | Kennen | Slicing Maelstrom plus E-in is a full stun-lock all-in with no escape for him — your single biggest window. |
| First item | Even / skill | Your Alternator/Liandry's R combo bursts his squishy body, but he can blind the engage, so it's a coin-flip on timing. |
| Two+ items | Teemo | His shrooms wall your E and his blind-and-kite out-sustains your short-cooldown caster once R is down — play for teamfights. |
Teemo's blind (Q) is the problem child here — it shuts off your autos and your Electrical Surge on-hit, so your mark-stacking stalls if you walk into it carelessly. The flip side: you out-range him with Thundering Shuriken (Q), so poke at max distance and stack Mark of the Storm from afar where his blind does nothing to a skillshot. At levels 2-3 you get your cleanest window — a second Q plus W on already-marked targets can land a two-spell stun if he oversteps to CS, so punish greedy last-hits.
