How to win lane as Zaahen against Teemo · 46.25% win rate over 1,453 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is a skill check with just farming and his Blinding Dart (Q) poke. |
| Level 2 | Zaahen | Level 2 favours you — you gap-close and delete squishy Teemo when his Q is down. |
| Level 3 | Zaahen | Level 3 stays yours as your Q-E burst beats his poke once you reach him. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 stay even-marked as he zones with shrooms and poke. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is a wash in-lane since his R minefield threatens movement, not the duel. |
| First item | Zaahen | At first item your durability and P sustain beat his poke through the blind. |
| Two+ items | Zaahen | With 2+ items you win the isolated 1v1 against a no-escape squishy poke champ. |
Level 2 favours you — squishy Teemo has no answer once you reach him, so gap-close with Darkin Glaive (Q) and Golden Onslaught (E) when his Blinding Dart (Q) is down; the blind only stops one auto, not your ability damage.
