Teemo vs Jax

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use ranged poke and (Q) blind to control the lane and deny Jax safe trades early.
Prioritize lane pressure to prevent Jax from freely scaling into his powerful side-lane duels.
This is a control vs scaling matchup where Teemo must leverage early harassment and trap control to limit Jax's scaling impact.

Trading pattern

Trade short bursts using (Q) blind to negate Jax's auto damage and back off before (E) stun activates.
Punish Jax immediately after he uses (E), as his defensive window is down.
Use (R) traps to control retreat paths and deter Jax from committing to extended trades.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (E) is up, as it blocks your autos and sets up a stun.
Avoid trading when (Q) is down, as Jax can punish your lack of blind.
Watch for (Q) leap to close distance, especially if your traps are cleared and escape paths are limited.

Early game

Abuse ranged poison autos and (Q) to harass Jax before he can engage with (E).
Maintain trap coverage in brushes and river to punish Jax's attempts to close distance or roam.
Avoid extended trades before level 6; keep fights short to exploit Jax's weaker early dueling.

Power spikes

At level 6, place (R) traps to control side-lane paths and limit Jax's safe movement.
After first damage item, increase poke frequency and use (Q) to blind and disrupt Jax's all-in attempts.
Respect Jax's level 6 (R) spike and item scaling; avoid extended fights when his (E) is available.

Win conditions

Win lane by consistently poking with poison autos and timing (Q) to blind Jax's key autos.
Use (R) traps to deny Jax safe side-lane movement and gank paths, forcing him into unfavorable fights.
Deny Jax scaling by maintaining lane pressure and preventing him from reaching his item spikes safely.
