Yorick vs Teemo

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Yorick is a scaling splitpush champion who must build graves and use Maiden to pressure towers against Teemo's ranged poke and trap control.
Manage lane pressure by preparing ghouls and landing (E) to force Teemo into unfavorable trades rather than allowing him to poke safely.

Trading pattern

Prepare graves and land (E) to send ghouls for trades, then use (W) to trap Teemo when he is marked and ghouls are ready.
Avoid trading when (E) is down or no graves are prepared, as Yorick's threat is low and Teemo can punish with blind and poke.
Use Maiden and minion pressure to convert successful trades into tower damage, forcing Teemo to respond.

Danger windows

Yorick is vulnerable when ghouls are not prepared or (E) misses, as his damage and control drop significantly.
Beware of Teemo's blind (Q) which can negate Yorick's auto-attack damage during trades, especially early levels.
Avoid walking into Teemo's trap (R) zones without vision, as they slow and can lead to dangerous follow-up damage or ganks.

Early game

Focus on safely farming and setting up graves before engaging, as Yorick has low early agency against Teemo's ranged poke.
Avoid fighting without ghouls ready and wait for (E) to mark Teemo before committing to trades.
Use (Q) to create graves and heal to sustain through Teemo's poison autos and blind poke.

Power spikes

At level 6, summon Maiden (R) to increase side-lane pressure and duel power; protect her to force Teemo to contest waves carefully.
When graves and ghouls are prepared and (E) marks Teemo, pressure him heavily to exploit sustained damage and wave control.
Respect Teemo's level 6 trap control (R) and blind (Q) timing; avoid extended trades when traps cover your retreat or blind is available.

Win conditions

Win by setting up graves and landing (E) to mark Teemo, then trapping him with (W) while Maiden and ghouls pressure towers.
Use Maiden's sustained push to force Teemo and his team to respond, creating side-lane pressure and objective opportunities.
Deny Teemo safe scaling by punishing his trap setups and blind cooldowns with prepared ghoul trades and sustained splitpush pressure.
