How to win lane as Locke against Teemo · 50.47% win rate (860 Emerald+ games, lolalytics, sampled July 2026) · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
A poke war you enter at 125 range — pay the toll early, then one blink turns his kite into a coffin the moment the nails land.
Track: Teemo's Q — Blinding Dart (7s cooldown). Blinds your autos — trade with spells while it is up.
Read from Locke's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Teemo.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Skill: level 1 is even — his poison poke against your on-hit trades. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Skill: at 2 the lane hinges on his Q blind timing, not raw stats. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Skill: level 3 hinges on Blinding Dart's flat 7-second cooldown. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Skill: through 4-5 the trades are a coin-flip decided by his blind. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Skill: at 6 his kite and blind offset your fresh ult before you close. |
| First item | Locke | Locke-favoured: R (Purgatory) reliably executes the squishy Teemo once you reach him. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Skill: with items his shroom map control offsets your on-contact burst. |
Skill lane early — Teemo's Q (Blinding Dart) is the whole matchup: a well-timed blind cancels every attack your on-hit damage rides on. Never facecheck brush either, since Guerrilla Warfare keeps him invisible while he moves inside it. Step up only while his Q is down; any clean trade goes your way.
