How to win lane as Teemo against Volibear · 60.35% win rate over 401 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Teemo | Volibear has no ranged ability and cannot trade at Level 1 without walking into Blinding Shot range — take Q first and set the poke tone before he builds any trade pattern. |
| Level 2 | Teemo | His Q empowered dash arrives but Blinding Shot counters the auto burst he needs after landing it — let him dash, fire the Blind mid-air or on landing, and walk back out with W. |
| Level 3 | Teemo | Your full poke loop is live: Q Blind negates his melee burst, Toxic Shot stacks two hits every trade, and W lets you disengage before his bite reaches you. |
| Levels 4-5 | Teemo | Q is max-ranked, shrooms seal the tribush, and Volibear must spend his Q dash just to step up — every approach he makes costs him cooldowns and a poison DoT stack. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Volibear's R disables the tower and his E stun lets a full auto chain land through your Blind; shroom your tower base before he hits 6 and respect his kill threat on this stage. |
| First item | Teemo | Liandry's Anguish amplifies every Toxic Shot tick against his large HP pool and shrooms make his pathing into a minefield — force plates and push tower in a shroomed split. |
| Two+ items | Volibear | Volibear's W heal absorbs your poison DoT at two-item tank levels and his resistances reduce your per-tick damage below lethal thresholds — play for map pressure and shroom corridors, not direct trades. |
Volibear's only Level 1 move is walking up to auto you — Blinding Shot deletes that plan entirely, so open Q and set the poke tone immediately. He cannot threaten you without his empowered Q dash, and that comes at Level 2; when he reaches Level 2, bait the Q leap by retreating with W, let him overshoot, then turn back and re-stack Toxic Shot poison while he is committed to a dead-end gap-close. His W bite deals damage and heals but it requires him to be in melee range first — deny him that range and the heal never happens.
