Statistical Matchup Analysis

Current meta showdown: Teemo (3.7% pick rate, 21st most popular out of 63 Top champions) versus Garen (5.1%, 8th place). These two top lane titans clash constantly, making matchup mastery a decisive factor in your climb. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Grasp of the Undying + Demolish combination (60.4% win rate) plus optimal itemization Nashor's Tooth, Liandry's Torment, Rabadon's Deathcap, and Sorcerer's Shoes boosts your chances from 47.7% to 70%+ - potentially game-changing.

Survive and scale: Teemo faces both matchup (47.70%) and farming disadvantages (5.85 vs 6.38/min). With a 0.53 CS/min deficit, prioritize safe farming and jungle assistance. Damage doesn't equal wins: Teemo outputs more damage (827 vs 695/min, 2nd place) but still loses the matchup. The issue likely lies in survivability, mobility, or damage timing rather than raw output. Complete dominance by Garen: leads in both matchup win rate (52.3%) and KDA (1.90 vs 1.70, 28th vs 49th place). Teemo players need exceptional preparation to overcome this counter-pick.

How to Beat Garen as Teemo (Top)

Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.

The magic damage that Teemo deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Garen deals mainly physical damage (73.58%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Garen, ranking 28th (versus 53rd for Teemo) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (1.9 versus 1.7) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Teemo Top versus Garen Top matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Teemo player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Garen player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.

    Teemo tips:

    • Teemo's mushrooms can be used to farm creep waves very effectively.
    • Place your mushrooms at key locations on the map, such as by the Dragon or Baron Nashor, to reveal when your enemies might be attempting to kill them.

    Playing Against Garen

    • Stack armor items to lower the large amount of physical damage that Garen deals out.
    • Try to run away from Garen as your health gets lower, as he can execute you quickly with Demacian Justice.
    • Be careful about attacking Garen in brush. It often will lead to taking full damage from Judgment.
    • Judgment deals maximum damage when only hitting a single target. If getting out of its radius isn't possible, move through allied minions to reduce damage taken.
