Teemo vs Aatrox

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use ranged poison poke and (Q) blind to control Aatrox's melee threat and deny his auto trades.
Pressure the wave to prevent Aatrox from safely setting up (Q) sweet spots and extended trades.
This is a control lane where Teemo must manage lane pressure to avoid Aatrox's sustain and all-in windows.

Trading pattern

Trade in short bursts using (Q) blind to negate Aatrox's auto damage and back off before he can chain (Q) hits.
Punish Aatrox after he misses his first (Q) cast or when (E) is down to limit his repositioning.
Use (R) traps to cut off his retreat or chase paths, forcing him to disengage or take damage.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (Q) is down, as Aatrox can engage and burst with chained (Q) sweet spots.
Respect (W) pull and slow zones that can trap you for follow-up damage.
Avoid extended trades or standing in lane without (R) trap coverage where Aatrox can all-in safely.

Early game

Use early ranged autos with (E) poison and (Q) to harass Aatrox before he can land his (Q) sweet spots.
Avoid extended trades especially after Aatrox lands (W) slow or chains, as he wants longer fights.
Place (R) traps in side-lane bushes and river entrances early to control jungle paths and punish Aatrox's approach.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) traps to control side lanes and retreat paths, increasing pressure and punishing Aatrox's limited escape.
After your first damage item, keep trades short and rely on poison autos plus (Q) blind to chip Aatrox down.
Respect Aatrox's level 6 (R) spike: avoid extended fights when his healing and reset potential activate.

Win conditions

Deny Aatrox melee trades by timing (Q) to blind his autos and poke with poison autos.
Control river and side bushes with (R) traps to limit his approach and gank paths.
Use ranged poke and trap pressure to force Aatrox into unfavorable fights or recalls, securing lane control and scaling advantage.
