Gwen vs Teemo

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Prioritize scaling through extended trades where (Q) stacks and passive healing matter to outlast Teemo's poke.
Maintain medium lane pressure by controlling spacing with (E) and using (W) to negate Teemo's ranged poke.
This is a scale-focused matchup where Gwen must survive early poke to reach powerful item spikes and teamfight impact.

Trading pattern

Engage trades only after stacking (Q) and use (E) to control spacing, avoiding short burst trades where Teemo can blind your autos.
Hold (W) to block Teemo's key poke and retaliation spells before committing to extended fights.
Use (R) after setting up trades with (Q) stacks and enemy cooldowns spent to slow and chase Teemo in longer skirmishes.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (Q) is unstacked and (W) is down, as Teemo's poke and blind (Q) can punish short trades.
Avoid extended fights outside your (W) mist zone where Teemo's ranged poke and traps are more effective.
Watch for trap placements controlling side-lane paths and river, which can limit your chase and escape routes.

Early game

Avoid committing to trades before (Q) is stacked to reduce vulnerability to Teemo's blind (Q) and poke.
Use (W) defensively to block Teemo's ranged retaliation and mitigate poke damage.
Focus on farming safely and stacking (Q) rather than forcing early fights against Teemo's high early lane pressure.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to add slow and chase potential, turning extended trades into kills if you maintain range inside (W).
After your first and second AP items, pressure side lanes and teamfights where (W) can deny Teemo's outside damage.
Respect Teemo's level 6 trap control and first damage item power spike by sweeping traps and avoiding extended trades when (Q) is down.

Win conditions

Reach your AP item spikes and use stacked (Q) combined with (W) and (R) to win extended trades and side-lane duels.
Use (W) to negate Teemo's poke and trap damage during teamfights, maximizing your sustained DPS.
Deny Teemo calm scaling by forcing fights when (Q) is stacked and (W) is available, preventing him from safely controlling the lane with traps.
