How to win lane as Teemo against Lucian · 50.19% win rate over 1,291 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Lucian | Lucian's passive double-shot fires off a single auto even through Blinding Shot — he gets a free proc before your blind takes effect, giving him the level-1 trade. |
| Level 2 | Teemo | Your Toxic Shot poison online lets you threaten a poke-and-retreat trade with W before his E comes off cooldown — the one window you dictate the exchange. |
| Level 3 | Lucian | Lucian's Q linear poke and W piercing light give him enough safe range to chip you down through your camouflage idle time; he does not need to walk up for trades. |
| Levels 4-5 | Lucian | His E dash lets him sidestep tribush mushrooms and close the gap in Levels 4-5 — he can burn E to dodge your R trap, then stick to you before W repositions you far enough. |
| Level 6 | Lucian | At level 6 he gains kill threat: E-dash past your Noxious Trap entrance wards, double-shot proc on the way in, and you cannot W out before his burst hits; your shrooms help zone but do not stop a committed Lucian. |
| First item | Lucian | Kraken Slayer or Blade of the Ruined King at first item shreds your HP pool before Liandry's DoT finishes its work — he spikes harder than you do on first buy. |
| Two+ items | Lucian | Your mushroom-warded split-push finally reclaims the lane: Liandry's DoT ticking through shroom fields forces E-cooldown fishing before each approach, and he cannot safely farm in a corridor you control. |
At level 1 Lucian wins: his passive double-shot procs off a single auto even through your Blinding Shot, meaning he gets free burst damage the moment you try to trade. Do not open with an auto into his Q poke — take E first, stay at max poison range, and accept that he sets the tone. Your Q matters most as a reaction tool: save it for when he walks up to trade, not as an opener he can play around. His E dash is on a long cooldown at level 1, so if you land a blind and he has no escape, he takes the full poison stack; that is your only real level-1 leverage.
