Jayce vs Teemo

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use Jayce's high early agency and ranged poke to pressure Teemo and deny him safe farming.
Prioritize maintaining lane pressure to prevent Teemo from setting up traps and controlling side paths.
This matchup is a snowball vs scale scenario; Jayce must leverage early poke to disrupt Teemo's mid-game trap control.

Trading pattern

Use empowered (Q) through (E) to poke and create health leads before committing to melee trades.
Punish Teemo when (Q) blind is down by engaging short burst trades in hammer form.
Avoid hammer form commits if poke misses or mana is low to prevent being vulnerable to return damage.

Danger windows

Jayce is vulnerable after committing hammer (Q) engage due to limited escape; avoid all-ins without prior poke advantage.
Be cautious when (Q) blind is available as it negates auto-attack damage and punishes trades.
Watch for trap placement around brushes and river after level 6; sweep vision to reduce gank and chase risk.

Early game

Start with ranged poke using (Q)+(E) to chip Teemo before he can trade back.
Avoid extended melee fights early; use hammer form only to finish trades after landing poke.
Manage mana carefully to maintain consistent poke pressure without running dry before level 6.

Power spikes

First damage item spike: increase poke and burst damage; use this to pressure waves and land empowered (Q) poke before objectives.
Mid-game poke siege: empowered (Q) controls area; set up vision and fire through (E) before committing to trades or sieges.
Respect Teemo's level 6 trap control; sweep traps before side-lane pressure or ganks to avoid being caught off guard.

Win conditions

Snowball early by landing consistent ranged poke to deny Teemo farm and force him to play reactive.
Convert poke-induced health leads into wave and plate pressure to control tempo and side-lane influence.
Use Jayce's form swaps and burst to punish low-health Teemo after poke, preventing him from establishing trap control or scaling.
