Statistical Matchup Analysis

With 3.7% popularity, Teemo constantly encounters meta-dominant Shen (4.3%, 15th place out of 62 Top champions). Understanding how to play against this popular champion becomes essential for consistent Teemo performance in the current patch. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Summon Aery + Axiom Arcanist combination (69.6% win rate) plus optimal itemization Liandry's Torment, Nashor's Tooth, Malignance, and Sorcerer's Shoes boosts your chances from 41.5% to 70%+ - potentially game-changing.

Farm your way back: Teemo's superior farming (7.11 vs 6.25/min, 15th among Top) offers a comeback path. Focus on safe CSing and capitalize on your 0.86 CS/min natural advantage. Damage doesn't equal wins: Teemo outputs more damage (963 vs 602/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 Shen: leads in both matchup win rate (58.5%) and KDA (2.80 vs 1.70, 1st vs 46th place). Teemo players need exceptional preparation to overcome this counter-pick.

How to Beat Shen 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. Shen has mixed damage, be careful as it may be harder to defend if the opponent gets ahead or plays aggressively.

An important advantage of Teemo is higher farming statistics (ranked 15th among role champions) (versus 46th for Shen), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.8 versus 1.7) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Teemo Top versus Shen 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 Shen 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 Shen

  • Be ready to dodge Shen's taunt and punish him if he misses.
  • Once Shen reaches level 6, watch out for his global-range ultimate, which can turn fights quickly.
