Poppy vs Teemo

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Control the lane by denying Teemo safe auto trades and punishing his positioning near walls.
Manage lane pressure to prevent Teemo from freely poking and setting traps, focusing on anti-dash and terrain leverage.
This is a control matchup where Poppy aims to disrupt Teemo's ranged poke and trap control while scaling into front-line disruption.

Trading pattern

Hold (W) to deny (Q) dash or blind-based engages, then punish with (E) when he is near terrain.
Use short trades around your passive shield and (Q) slow, avoiding prolonged fights where Teemo's poison autos and traps excel.
Punish Teemo's trap placement by forcing trades when traps are absent or after sweeping vision to reduce his control.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (Q) blind is available, as it negates your auto trades and opens him for poke.
Avoid walking into areas with visible or suspected traps to prevent forced disengages or damage bursts.
Recognize that Teemo's ranged poke and trap control create pressure zones; do not chase him far from walls without (R) ready.

Early game

Use early levels to position near walls and threaten (E) stuns to discourage Teemo's aggressive poke.
Avoid extended trades before (W) is ready to block (Q) blind and movement advantage.
Focus on short trades using (Q) and passive shield to chip Teemo without overcommitting to his ranged poke.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to disengage or isolate Teemo, denying his trap control and forcing him to reposition.
After your first tank item, leverage increased durability to withstand Teemo's poke and hold lane control near walls.
Respect Teemo's level 6 trap setups and his first damage item spike, which increase his poke threat and lane control.

Win conditions

Deny Teemo's dash and poke by holding (W) for key moments and punishing his positioning near walls with (E).
Use (R) to reset bad fights or isolate Teemo, disrupting his trap control and forcing him into unfavorable trades.
Build tanky to outlast poke and scale into front-line peel and disruption, controlling fights around terrain and protecting carries.
