Teemo vs K'Sante

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use ranged poison poke and (Q) blind to pressure K'Sante and deny him safe farming windows.
Control side-lane paths with (R) traps to limit K'Sante's displacement angles and punish his all-in attempts.

Trading pattern

Trade in short bursts using (Q) blind to negate K'Sante's auto damage and follow up with poison autos.
Avoid extended trades when K'Sante has full (Q) stacks or (W) ready to displace or reduce damage.
Punish K'Sante after he uses (W) or before he reaches (Q3) stacks by stepping forward for quick poke and backing off to trap safety.

Danger windows

Beware when K'Sante has (Q3) stacks ready and (W) charged, as his knockback and damage reduction threaten all-ins.
Avoid extended trades or standing still without trap coverage when (Q) blind is down, as K'Sante can burst with autos.
Exercise caution during (R) transformation, as his dueling power and displacement increase significantly near terrain.

Early game

Start by poking with autos and (E) poison, saving (Q) to blind K'Sante's key autos and disrupt his short trades.
Place (R) traps in river and brush early to secure vision and punish his approach or retreat paths.
Use (W) movement speed to maintain spacing and avoid his (Q) stacks and (W) displacement attempts.

Power spikes

At level 6, trap key side paths and river entrances to control (R) isolation angles and punish his lower durability post-transform.
First damage item spike increases poison damage; leverage this by forcing repeated short trades with (Q) blind active.
Respect K'Sante's level 6 (R) and first tank item spikes by maintaining distance and avoiding terrain angles that enable his displacement.

Win conditions

Win by consistently poking with poison autos and (Q) blind to deny K'Sante safe farming and force cooldown use.
Establish and maintain a trap network with (R) to control side-lane paths, limiting K'Sante's displacement and gank angles.
Exploit cooldown windows after K'Sante uses (W) or (R) by stepping forward for poke and resetting to trap safety to chip him down over time.
