Jax vs Teemo

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

This is a scaling duelist matchup where Jax must survive early poke and avoid giving Teemo free blind trades.
Jax should focus on farming safely and using (E) to block Teemo's autos and blind trades while preparing for side-lane duels after item spikes.

Trading pattern

Bait Teemo's autos into (E) to stun and then follow up with (Q) and empowered autos for favorable trades.
Avoid trading when (E) is down or when (Q) blind is available to punish your autos.
After item spikes, extend trades confidently, leveraging (R) durability and sustained damage to outduel Teemo.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (E) is on cooldown as you lose your main defensive tool against Teemo's poke.
Avoid extended trades when (Q) blind is up to prevent losing auto-attack damage.
Respect trap-covered areas after Teemo hits level 6; sweep or avoid these zones to prevent being slowed or caught.

Early game

Avoid extended trades before level 6 as Teemo's ranged poke and (Q) blind punish early all-ins.
Use (E) to block key auto attacks and only engage with (Q) when the stun window is guaranteed.
Prioritize safe farming and wave management to reach level 6 and item spikes without falling behind.

Power spikes

Respect Teemo's level 6 when traps enable side-lane control; sweep traps before engaging or chasing.
Use Jax's level 6 (R) spike to take longer trades only when (E) is ready and Teemo's cooldowns are down.
Force side-lane pressure after your two-item spike to capitalize on Jax's scaling duel power and splitpush threat.

Win conditions

Survive early poke by smartly using (E) and farming safely to reach key item spikes.
After two items, force isolated side-lane duels where Jax's sustained damage and (R) durability dominate.
Deny Teemo safe scaling by punishing trap placements and cooldowns, then snowball side-lane pressure into map control.
