Teemo vs Gnar

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use ranged poke and (Q) blind to control Gnar's mini form and deny his melee trades.
Prioritize lane pressure to prevent Gnar from safely stacking Rage and timing mega form engages.
This is a control vs teamfight matchup where Teemo must leverage poke and trap control to limit Gnar's impact.

Trading pattern

Trade short bursts using (Q) to blind Gnar's autos and follow up with poison autos for chip damage.
Punish Gnar when his (E) hop is down by stepping forward for safer trades.
Use trap setups to force Gnar into unfavorable paths and punish his melee approach.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Gnar's Rage bar is near mega form and his (E) hop is available for engage.
Avoid extended trades or standing in trap-covered areas when (Q) is down, as Gnar can punish your reduced poke.
Watch for Gnar's mega (W) and (R) stuns near walls; maintain spacing to evade his hard crowd control.

Early game

Abuse your early high lane pressure by poking with (E) autos and blinding Gnar's key autos with (Q).
Place (R) traps in brush and retreat paths to punish Gnar's limited engage windows and jungle ganks.
Avoid extended trades when (Q) is down to reduce risk against Gnar's burst potential.

Power spikes

At level 6, place (R) traps to control side lanes and river, denying Gnar safe engage angles.
After your first damage item, increase poke frequency with empowered autos and (Q) blind to pressure Gnar's sustain.
Respect Gnar's level 6 mega form and his potential to stun near terrain; back off before he transforms or fight after it expires.

Control side-lane paths and river with (R) traps to limit Gnar's engage and gank opportunities.
