Yasuo vs Teemo

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use (Q) and (E) to control space and pressure Teemo's ranged poke while staying close to minions for mobility.
Pressure Teemo early to deny his ranged poke and trap setup, preventing him from controlling the lane and side paths.
This is a snowball matchup where Yasuo must leverage wave-based trades and skirmishes to outpace Teemo's poke and trap control.

Trading pattern

Stack (Q) quickly and dash through minions with (E) to engage short trades, committing only when you can land the knockup for (R).
Use (W) to block (Q) blind and autos, then punish his cooldown windows with aggressive trades.
Avoid trading when minion waves are sparse, as lack of (E) targets limits your mobility and escape options.

Danger windows

Respect (Q) blind timing, as it negates your auto damage and sets up his poke.
Be cautious when your (W) shield and passive flow are down, as you lose key defensive tools against poke and traps.
Watch for trap placements around river and brush that limit your mobility and create gank paths; sweep these before engaging.

Early game

At level 2, use (Q) and (E) combo aggressively to trade and force Teemo back before he can safely poke.
Avoid extended trades when your (W) shield is down to minimize damage from Teemo's blind and autos.
Use minion waves to dash around and dodge poke, maintaining pressure without overextending into traps.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks your (Q) and (E) combo; use this to force trades and establish lane control early.
Level 6 grants (R) for all-in potential after knockup; track this to secure kills or force Teemo out of lane.
After your first item, increase pressure on waves and trades, as your damage and durability improve significantly.

Win conditions

Use wave control and (Q)+(E) mobility to pressure Teemo and deny his trap setup, limiting his lane safety.
Capitalize on cooldown windows, especially when (W) or (Q) are down, to engage all-ins with knockup and (R).
Snowball through extended skirmishes and side-lane pressure, leveraging your mobility and burst to outpace Teemo's poke and trap control.
