How to win lane as Teemo against Yorick · 53.29% win rate over 683 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Teemo | Yorick's only level-1 tool is Last Rite auto-attacks — one Blinding Shot erases his entire damage window and lets your Toxic Shot stack for free. |
| Level 2 | Teemo | His ghouls begin spawning and he can trade longer, but he still has no gap-close and your poison ramps faster than his ghoul DPS — stay at Toxic Shot range and Q on his walk-up. |
| Level 3 | Teemo | All three of your abilities are online and his E cage is his only real threat — sidestep the Mist Cage and the lane is yours to control freely. |
| Levels 4-5 | Teemo | Max Q blind duration means his empowered Last Rite swings miss through the full window; blanket tribush and lane bushes with mushrooms so the Maiden wastes her first shove triggering them. |
| Level 6 | Teemo | The Maiden appears but you still own the 1v1 — Blinding Shot forces Yorick himself to stand still, letting poison stacks tick, while shrooms deny the Maiden safe pathing to the outer tower. |
| First item | Teemo | Liandry's Angueur percentage-health burn makes your Toxic Shot genuinely threatening on Yorick's large HP pool, and mushrooms covering tower entrances punish the Maiden before she plates. |
| Two+ items | Yorick | Full-build Yorick's ghouls sustain through your DoT, Maiden free-splits wherever you are not, and one landed E cage into a melee brawl ends you — win before this point or kite from max range and never let him trap you. |
Yorick has zero gap-close — his entire trading pattern is walk up, swing, and Last Rite — so your Blinding Shot shuts him out completely the moment he steps into auto range. Greet him at level 1 with a Q as he reaches for a last-hit, then pepper him with Toxic Shot autos from outside Mist Cage range and retreat before his ghouls can stack. The key threat here is his E: if you let him land the cage while ghouls are alive, he can walk through your blind window and sustain through the poison tick, so always side-step the Mist Cage and never let him initiate the trade rather than you.
