Statistical Matchup Analysis

With 3.1% popularity, Yasuo constantly encounters meta-dominant Teemo (3.6%, 19th place out of 63 Top champions). Understanding how to play against this popular champion becomes essential for consistent Yasuo performance in the current patch. Amplify your advantage: The Lethal Tempo + Absorb Life rune setup achieves 49.2% win rate (89.5% popularity), while the core build Yun Tal Wildarrows > Infinity Edge > Bloodthirster with Berserker's Greaves (70%+ win rate) lets you snowball advantages into guaranteed victories by 15 minutes.

Lane dominance: Yasuo not only wins the matchup but crushes CS (6.89/min vs 6.29 for Teemo). This 0.60 CS/min advantage generates significant gold leads that compound your already favorable position. Quality over quantity: Yasuo wins through smart play rather than raw damage - despite lower DPS (752 vs 934/min), the 56.6% win rate shows superior utility, positioning, and team fight impact.

This suggests you win through macro influence and clutch plays in key moments rather than consistent individual performance.

How to Beat Teemo as Yasuo (Top)

The Yasuo versus Teemo matchup in the top lane is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.

Except for rare builds, Yasuo deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Meanwhile, Teemo deals primarily magic damage (79.93%), additional magic resistance may be required.

An important advantage of Yasuo is higher farming statistics (ranked 18th among role champions) (versus 36th for Teemo), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (1.7 versus 1.4) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Yasuo Top versus Teemo Top matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Yasuo player to maintain constant pressure on Teemo, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

  • At level 18, Yasuo's Steel Tempest reaches its Attack Speed cap with 55% Attack Speed from items.
  • Last Breath can be cast on any target that is knocked Airborne, even by one of your allies.

Playing Against Teemo

  • It can be valuable to use Oracle's Lens(Trinket) to destroy mushrooms around key locations.
