How to win lane as Malphite against Teemo · 52.97% win rate over 2,475 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Teemo | Teemo blinds your Thunderclap autos and kites with move speed — at level 1 you have no trade pattern and just eat poke. |
| Level 2 | Teemo | He out-ranges and out-poisons you with E while you have only a slow Seismic Shard — let Granite Shield soak it and farm. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | By level 3 it evens out: he still pokes but your shield and W sustain stop the bleed, and he can't kill you yet. |
| Levels 4-5 | Malphite | W/E come online — Ground Slam's attack-speed slow and Thunderclap's armor let you farm through his poison and stabilize. |
| Level 6 | Malphite | Unstoppable Force is your spike — no dash means Teemo has no escape, so R + Thunderclap runs him down on his blind timer. |
| First item | Malphite | Your first armor item plus Ground Slam blanks his on-hit DPS while your engage stays lethal — force every all-in now. |
| Two+ items | Malphite | You still win the duel outright, but his shrooms zone chokes and his splitpush punishes your low mobility — group and flank, don't chase. |
Teemo owns the opening. His blind (Q) cancels the empowered autos of your Thunderclap and his passive move speed means you can't walk him down, so don't waste mana throwing a Seismic Shard at max range hoping to chase — just last-hit and accept the E-poison chip. Your Granite Shield passive is the saving grace: step out of his auto range between trades and the shield refreshes, soaking most of his poke. Don't flame your jungler; this is a survive-to-6 lane, not a level-2 cheese.
