How to win lane as Teemo against Neeko · 50.31% win rate over 324 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Neeko | Neeko's Blooming Burst (Q) reaches further than your auto at level 1 and she can freely poke before Blinding Shot exists to answer it. |
| Level 2 | Teemo | Blinding Shot comes online — her auto-trade threat is nullified immediately and Tangle-Barbs has a long cooldown at rank 1, giving you clean poke windows. |
| Level 3 | Teemo | Full kit running: E poison stacks compound with Blinding Shot, and you can zone her off CS by threatening the trade pattern she cannot safely answer. |
| Levels 4-5 | Teemo | Max-rank Blinding Shot and tri-brush mushrooms let you deny her approach angles — she cannot root you from brush without walking over a shroom first. |
| Level 6 | Teemo | Pop Blossom's channel is long and telegraphed; a charged W Move Quick lets you sprint out of range, and your shroom net makes her approach paths dangerous. |
| First item | Teemo | Liandry's DoT on top of E poison and mushrooms turns a Tangle-Barbs root into a death sentence — she cannot stand still under a shroom stack. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Late game her Pop Blossom teamfight scales to match your zone control; neither champion has a clear edge in a full macro skirmish — keep splitting. |
At level 1 Neeko's Blooming Burst out-ranges your auto, so do not step up to poke at level 1 — farm with the tip of your auto and accept that she dictates spacing until you hit level 2. She will attempt to Q-poke and walk back into the brush to reset, so pre-place one mushroom at the tribush entrance before she reaches level 2 to burn a movement speed item or slow her retreat. The moment Blinding Shot comes online at level 2, the dynamic shifts: she cannot safely auto-trade into a blinded state, and her Tangle-Barbs (E) is the only threat left — dodge it by side-stepping toward the wall when she angles into brush.
