Vladimir vs Teemo

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Vladimir must endure Teemo's early poke and avoid extended fights before his first item spike.
Prioritize safe farming and use empowered (Q) to sustain through poke while minimizing (W) usage.
This is a scaling mage versus ranged poke bully matchup; Vladimir wins by outscaling and surviving early pressure.

Trading pattern

Trade short with empowered (Q) to heal and punish Teemo's autos when his (Q) is down.
Avoid trading when (W) is on cooldown or empowered (Q) is unavailable to minimize damage taken.
Punish Teemo's forced cooldowns by stepping forward for short trades but do not overcommit to avoid trap damage.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (W) is down as Vladimir is vulnerable to poke and all-ins.
Respect (Q) blind timing; avoid trading when blind is active to prevent damage loss.
Watch for trap placements around brush and river that can enable Teemo or his jungler to punish overextensions.

Early game

Avoid fighting early waves aggressively; focus on last-hitting and using (Q) to sustain through poke.
Respect (Q) blind and his ranged autos by trading only when empowered (Q) is ready.
Use (W) defensively to dodge key poke or blind but avoid wasting it on minor trades due to its cooldown and health cost.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to threaten all-ins or teamfight impact; track its availability to time trades or disengages.
After first AP item, pressure waves and trades more confidently while still respecting Teemo's blind and traps.
Respect Teemo's level 6 trap control and avoid walking into traps to maintain lane safety.

Win conditions

Survive early poke by using (Q) sustain and avoid unnecessary (W) usage to reach key AP item spikes.
Use empowered (Q) trades and (R) all-in windows to punish Teemo's cooldowns and force him back.
Aim for grouped fights post-scaling where (R) burst and teamfight presence can decisively win engagements.
