Teemo vs Yasuo

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use ranged poke and (Q) blind to control Yasuo's melee all-in attempts and deny his auto damage.
Pressure the lane early to prevent Yasuo from freely stacking (Q) and using (E) mobility on minions.
This is a control matchup where Teemo must deny Yasuo's snowball by punishing his reliance on minion waves and cooldowns.

Trading pattern

Use short poison trades combined with (Q) blind to win auto-attack exchanges against Yasuo.
Avoid trading when (Q) is down or Yasuo has minions to dash through with (E).
Punish Yasuo's cooldowns by stepping forward immediately after he uses (W) or misses (Q) tornado stacks.

Danger windows

Yasuo is dangerous when his (W) is available to block your (Q) and when he has minions to dash through with (E).
Respect Yasuo's second (Q) tornado knockup and (R) follow-up as lethal all-in windows.
Be cautious when your (Q) is on cooldown and trap coverage is missing, as Yasuo can engage more safely then.

Early game

Start by zoning Yasuo with poison autos and save (Q) to blind his key auto trades.
Keep the wave on your side to limit (E) mobility and prevent him from engaging easily.
Place traps in brushes and retreat paths early to punish Yasuo's all-ins and jungle ganks.

Power spikes

At level 6, trap key side-lane and river entrances to control Yasuo's movement and punish his engages.
After your first damage item, increase poke frequency and use (Q) to blind Yasuo before he can retaliate.
Respect Yasuo's level 2 power spike when he gains (Q) and (E) combo for aggressive trades; avoid giving him spacing to start it cleanly.

Win conditions

Deny Yasuo's ability to stack (Q) by controlling wave position and zoning with poke.
Use (Q) blind and poison autos to chip Yasuo down and force him into unfavorable trades.
Establish and maintain trap control around side-lane paths to punish Yasuo's mobility and gank attempts, securing lane dominance.
