Ryze vs Teemo

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Ryze must manage a controlled lane to safely farm and avoid Teemo's poke and trap control.
Focus on scaling through waveclear and spell rotations while minimizing early health loss against Teemo's ranged harassment.

Trading pattern

Trade short bursts using (E) and (Q) when you have mana and space, holding (W) to root Teemo if he commits.
Punish (Q) cooldown by stepping up for trades when blind is unavailable.
Avoid trading without (W) ready or when low on mana to prevent being outranged and poked down.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (Q) blind is up, as it negates your auto damage and makes trades risky.
Avoid stepping forward when Teemo has trap coverage in brush or retreat paths to prevent ganks or slows.
Vulnerable if caught low on mana or without (W) root available, as Teemo can freely poke or engage.

Early game

Prioritize safe farming and avoid extended trades before your first mana/AP item to reduce poke damage.
Use controlled (E) and (Q) poke when (Q) blind is down to maximize damage.
Avoid pushing the wave unnecessarily early to limit Teemo's trap placement and roam potential.

Power spikes

After your first mana/AP item, pressure the wave and trades more confidently while tracking Teemo's blind cooldown.
At level 6, use (R) for verified all-ins, roams, or defensive resets, not blind engages.
Respect Teemo's level 6 trap control and increased poke damage after his first damage item; sweep traps before committing.

Win conditions

Scale safely by farming under controlled waves and use spell rotations to chip Teemo when blind is down.
Use (W) root to punish Teemo's overextensions and follow up with (Q) damage.
Convert wave control into side-lane pressure and map plays with (R) to leverage your scaling and waveclear advantage.
