Teemo vs Irelia

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use ranged poke and (Q) blind to deny Irelia's melee autos and control lane pressure.
Focus on controlling side-lane paths with (R) traps to limit Irelia's all-in and reset options.
This is a control vs snowball matchup where Teemo must prevent Irelia from gaining wave reset and all-in windows.

Trading pattern

Trade short bursts with poison autos and (Q) blind to interrupt Irelia's auto damage.
Avoid extended trades when (Q) is down or Irelia has passive stacks and reset paths.
Use (R) traps to punish Irelia if she overcommits or walks into controlled zones.

Danger windows

Beware when Irelia has passive stacks and low-health minions enabling (Q) resets for all-ins.
Respect (E) stun and (R) slow zone as commit windows that can force lethal trades.
Be cautious when (Q) blind is down, as Irelia can engage more safely and punish trades.

Early game

Abuse (Q) blind early to punish Irelia's attempts to engage with autos.
Place (R) traps in river and brush to reduce gank threat and control Irelia's side movements.
Keep the wave positioned to deny Irelia low-health minions for (Q) resets and passive stacks.

Power spikes

At level 6, trap control with (R) allows stronger side-lane pressure and punishes Irelia's pathing.
After first damage item, increase poke frequency and rely on (Q) blind to win trades.
Respect Irelia's level 2 spike when she has (Q) and (E) for stun and resets; avoid giving wave or spacing for her combo.

Win conditions

Use ranged poke and (Q) blind to deny Irelia's melee autos and prevent her from stacking passive.
Control side-lane paths with (R) traps to limit Irelia's all-in angles and reset opportunities.
Maintain wave control to deny Irelia low-health minions, reducing her mobility and all-in threat.
