Kayle vs Teemo

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Kayle is a scaling top laner who must survive early poke and pressure to reach level 6 and item thresholds safely.
Avoid early lane pressure from Teemo's ranged poke and trap control by playing defensively and farming under tower.

Trading pattern

Avoid early extended trades; trade short and only when (Q) blind is down to reduce Teemo's poke effectiveness.
Use (Q) slow and resistance shred to punish Teemo's autos when his (Q) blind is on cooldown.
Save (R) to deny lethal burst or all-ins and only trade aggressively after reaching ranged form at level 6.

Danger windows

Kayle is vulnerable before level 6 due to Teemo's high early poke and blind (Q); avoid extended trades and all-ins.
When (R) is down, Kayle is susceptible to lethal burst from Teemo's poison autos and traps; play cautiously.
Be cautious of Teemo's trap placements in brush and retreat paths, as they limit safe movement and increase gank risk.

Early game

Focus on safe farming and use (Q) to slow and resist Teemo's poke without engaging in extended trades.
Use (W) to heal and mitigate poke damage when necessary, avoiding all-ins before level 6.
Keep waves near your tower to reduce vulnerability to Teemo's traps and poke.

Power spikes

At level 6, Kayle gains ranged attacks and (R); stabilize lane and use (R) to deny Teemo's burst and survive trades.
Kayle's late-game DPS and item scaling turn her into a major threat; protect uptime and fight front-to-back.
Respect Teemo's level 6 trap control and first damage item power spikes by sweeping traps and avoiding prolonged exposure to poke.

Win conditions

Survive early poke and pressure by farming safely and using (Q) and (W) defensively.
Reach level 6 to unlock ranged form and (R), then punish Teemo's cooldowns with empowered trades.
Transition into a side-lane DPS threat post-level 6, focusing on protecting (R) uptime and fighting front-to-back in teamfights.
