Control short-range space with (Q) and (E) slows to force Teemo into unfavorable trades.
This matchup is a snowball vs control lane where Rumble must leverage early agency to prevent Teemo's poke and trap control.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades when (Q) is empowered and (E) lands to maximize damage and slow Teemo.
Punish (Q) blind cooldown by forcing trades immediately after it expires.
Avoid overheating before trades and do not fight when (E) charges are down to maintain pressure.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (E) is on cooldown as your chase and slow potential drops significantly.
Avoid fighting when overheated since you cannot cast spells and are vulnerable to poke and blind trades.
Watch for Teemo's trap zones especially around side lanes and river to prevent ganks or forced retreats.

Early game

Start by managing heat carefully to enter danger-zone trades without overheating prematurely.
Use (E) to slow Teemo and keep him in (Q) range for short, high-damage trades.
Avoid extended fights outside (Q) range where Teemo's poke and blind can punish you.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to cut off Teemo's escape paths or trap him in objective corridors to secure kills or force summoners.
After completing your first AP item, pressure Teemo aggressively with empowered (Q) and (R) to punish his weaker all-in windows.
Respect Teemo's level 6 trap placements by sweeping them before engaging or chasing.

Win conditions

Snowball early by winning short-range trades with heat-managed (Q) and (E) slows to deny Teemo farm and scaling.
Use (R) to control fights around objectives and trap Teemo in narrow paths for kills or zone control.
Maintain lane pressure to prevent Teemo from safely placing traps and force him into unfavorable all-ins or recalls.
