Teemo vs Jayce

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use your ranged poke and blind (Q) to pressure Jayce and deny his melee trades.
Control side-lane paths with (R) traps to limit Jayce's roaming and gank safety.
This is a control vs snowball matchup where you must leverage poke and trap control to prevent Jayce's early lane dominance.

Trading pattern

Use short poison autos combined with (Q) blind to win trades before Jayce can retaliate.
Punish Jayce's melee form engages by kiting with (W) and countering with ranged poke.
Avoid trading when your traps are not set up, as Jayce can all-in more safely without trap control.

Danger windows

Be cautious when your (Q) blind is on cooldown, as Jayce can punish your autos and engage more safely.
Avoid standing in trapped areas without vision, as Jayce can coordinate ganks or all-ins through your trap setups.

Early game

Start by poking with autos and (E) poison while saving (Q) to blind Jayce's key auto trades.
Place traps in brush and river entrances early to protect against ganks and restrict Jayce's movement.
Avoid extended trades when (Q) is down to prevent Jayce from punishing with empowered poke.

Power spikes

At level 6, place (R) traps to control side lanes and retreat paths, increasing your safety and pressure.
Your first damage item strengthens poison trades; use this to force Jayce into unfavorable all-ins when (Q) is available.
Respect Jayce's first damage item spike and his empowered (Q)+(E) poke; avoid extended trades during these moments.
