Statistical Matchup Analysis

Current meta showdown: Teemo (3.7% pick rate, 21st most popular out of 63 Top champions) versus Irelia (4.2%, 17th 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 Dark Harvest + Cheap Shot combination (61.1% win rate) plus optimal itemization Nashor's Tooth, Liandry's Torment, Rabadon's Deathcap, and Sorcerer's Shoes boosts your chances from 48.4% to 70%+ - potentially game-changing.

Survive and scale: Teemo faces both matchup (48.38%) and farming disadvantages (5.85 vs 7.09/min). With a 1.24 CS/min deficit, prioritize safe farming and jungle assistance. Outclassed across the board: Irelia leads in both matchup win rate (51.6%) and damage (881 vs 827/min). Teemo must seek alternative win conditions through macro play and team coordination. Strong individual performance: Teemo maintains better KDA (1.70, 49th place vs 57th for Irelia), but loses the matchup overall. High KDA without wins suggests difficulty translating individual advantages into victory conditions.

How to Beat Irelia as Teemo (Top)

Despite the slight difference in effectiveness, in the Teemo versus Irelia matchup in the top lane, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.

The magic damage that Teemo deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Irelia deals mainly physical damage (72.94%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Irelia, ranking 10th (versus 53rd for Teemo) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (1.5 versus 1.7) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Teemo Top versus Irelia 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 Irelia 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 Irelia

  • Pay attention to Ionian Fervor stacks and try to engage Irelia when it is down.
  • Minion waves greatly enhance Irelia's mobility, beware fighting her inside one.
  • Beware of wasting your high impact spells on Defiant Dance.
