K'Sante vs Teemo

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Prioritize controlling the lane by managing (Q) stacks and using (W) to deny Teemo's poke and trap setups.
Focus on a controlled melee lane to avoid giving Teemo free ranged harass and trap control.
This is a control vs ranged poke matchup where K'Sante must leverage terrain and displacement to isolate and punish Teemo.

Trading pattern

Initiate short trades only when (Q) stacks are ready and (W) is available to absorb poke and control space.
Punish Teemo after he uses (Q) blind by stepping forward to trade before his autos become effective again.
Reserve (R) for isolated fights near terrain where you can displace and kill Teemo without risking durability loss.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (W) is down, as you lose damage reduction and displacement to counter Teemo's poke.
After using (R), your durability drops; avoid extended fights until you regain tankiness.
Respect (Q) blind cooldown; avoid trading when blind is active to prevent losing auto trades.

Early game

Use early levels to safely farm and stack (Q) without overextending into Teemo's poke range.
Avoid extended trades before (W) and (Q3) are ready to reduce damage taken from Teemo's autos and (Q) blind.
Position near terrain angles to prepare for displacement plays and limit Teemo's trap effectiveness.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to isolate Teemo near terrain and turn fights in your favor; avoid engaging if you can't guarantee isolation.
After completing your first tank item, trade aggressively around (Q) stacks and keep (W) for key damage reduction.
Respect Teemo's level 6 trap control and his first damage item spike by sweeping traps and avoiding prolonged trades.

Win conditions

Control the lane by stacking (Q) and using (W) to negate Teemo's poke and trap setups.
Use (R) to isolate Teemo near terrain for decisive duels, ensuring you have (Q3) and (W) ready.
Deny Teemo's scaling by forcing short trades on your terms and maintaining front-line control for teamfights.
