How to win lane as Teemo against Warwick · 52.03% win rate over 665 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Teemo | Warwick's level 1 is pure auto-attack trades — Blinding Shot (Q) on his first walk-up means he literally cannot deal damage back, handing you the free poke tone. |
| Level 2 | Teemo | Q-blind plus Toxic Shot (E) poison means every trade he attempts costs him HP and lands him zero autos; he cannot short-trade his way out of this window. |
| Level 3 | Teemo | Your full kit is online and Q is close to max rank — run the poke loop freely, but Warwick is approaching level 6 so respect 50% HP as your hard stop from now on. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Both level 6 spikes land here and the lane swings to Skill: your shrooms expand zone control while his Infinite Duress (R) goes live and negates your Blind on any all-in he commits. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | With Infinite Duress active you cannot safely all-in unless his R is confirmed down — camouflage (passive) and mushroom-warded escape routes become your equalizer if he plays patient. |
| First item | Even / skill | Oblivion Orb into Nashor's Tooth cuts his Jaws of the Beast (Q) healing and poison DoT starts sticking through his passive sustain — but he matches this spike with his own first item bruiser power. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Both champions scale into strong split-push or teamfight tools and neither side has a clean 1v1 win condition against a healthy opponent — the matchup stays even by lane-end and is decided by who uses their R window better. |
At level 1 you have the clearest edge in the game: Warwick's entire damage model is auto-attack on-hit, and one Blinding Shot (Q) erases that window. Walk up on every last-hit he goes for, land the auto-poison stack from Toxic Shot (E), and blind him the instant he tries to trade back. The problem is his passive: he heals hardest below 50% HP, so a Warwick you've poked down suddenly becomes faster and harder to finish — resist the urge to all-in a low-HP Warwick at level 1-2 without ignite or the kill is going to swing back on you. Buy Oblivion Orb as your first back item if you can; without anti-heal, his Jaws of the Beast (Q) heals enough to undo two or three poke patterns per wave.
