🛡️ Play safe, stay in the back and play like support, so you can stay and heal more.
⚔️ Sometimes, you can go in and play more aggressively when the opportunity is right.
💖 Focus on healing and shielding to keep allies alive.
✨ Use Redemption, Locket, and Heal on cooldown for healing.
How to play
General
Your first rush is Redemption.
Your second rush can be Locket of the Iron Solari (vs AoE), Moonstone Renewer (sustain).
Also, Echoes of Helia is pretty good because you can proc it consistently with Font of Life (slow/cc).
Rush second Locket if your team already doing teamfights or when an enemy team has champions with super aoe damage (example: like Fiddle's ult). Otherwise, get Moonstone Renewer #2. The third item should be whatever you did not buy - Locket of the Iron Solari or Moonstone Renewer. That's your core.
Another decent item if you have carry/strong bruiser/strong tank is Knight's Vow.
Try to use summoner spell Heal on cooldown. With Moonstone Renewer, ideally there should be at least two people for maximum healing effect.
Later in the game, for maximum support - you can sell boots for sixth item.
You can get items like Ardent Censer (some auto attackers needed) or Staff of Flowing Water. It will be triggered often enough that it will be worth.
Interesting item is Cryptbloom. If you want to go full healing, you can get it like #4+ item.
Runes
With Cosmic Insight rune from Inspiration tree:
Redemption and Locked of the Iron Solari has 81.92 sec cooldown (down from 90 sec).
Shurelya's Battlesong has 68.12 sec cooldown (down from 75 sec).
Guardian is important rune. It is going to provide tons of shielding. Remember that you need to be close to your allies to proc it.
You can also manipulate it - for example, you can stick to one ally, or avoid some spells that's gonna only waste it.
You will be triggering Font of Life effect, which will heal your allies. It also chains off Moonstone Renewer!
Font of Life total healing is not properly calculated in a post-game lobby. Value is bigger in the game vs. what's displayed in statistics. You heal more!
Another important rule is Cosmic Insight, it reduces cooldown for your active items (so more heals/shielding) and Heal summoner spell.
Redemption
Try to use Redemption on cooldown, when your allies are missing some health. It is best to use when they are grouped. Especially if you already have Moonstone Renewer, it is best to wait (or ping) until they group together, so you can have them all healed.
Remember that you can use Redemption for the damage. However, in general, it is not worth it. Keep it to heal your team!
Be careful when using Redemption while you are dead, and you are about to be respawned. The camera will go to your position, and you can cast it in the spawning pool by mistake. Watch out for bad timing!
Champion
Use and keep your Blinding Dart (Q) to blind key targets, especially enemy auto attackers, ADs or ADCs during team fights. This can completely shut down their damage in fights.
Place Noxious Trap (R) mushrooms strategically for vision control and to slow enemies, which triggers Font of Life healing for your allies.
Tips and Tricks
Blinding Dart (Q)
Your Blinding Dart (Q) is a powerful tool against any auto attackers. If the enemy team has a strong carry that relies heavily on basic attacks, save your blind specifically for them.
Blinding Dart (Q) has a 680 range.
It's more than your auto attack range, which means you can safely Q from distance, but at the same distance you cannot auto attack.
Your Blinding Dart (Q) outranges most enemy champions’ auto attacks and many of their abilities. Use this range advantage to poke and harass safely.
Only step forward to add auto attacks if it’s safe and you want to trigger your Toxic Shot (E). Remember: Teemo’s auto-attack range is much shorter than Blinding Dart (Q)’s range, so closing the gap puts you at risk!
Noxious Trap (R)
The placement of your mushrooms should depend on how the game is going on.
Your team is losing? Better to start putting down your Noxious Trap (R) behind your team (because otherwise, you cannot protect them at all).
If the enemy team has strong engage, placing mushrooms behind your team helps punish dives and disengage fights.
If you are ahead and can safely defend your mushrooms, place them aggressively in front of your team to control space and pressure the enemy.
Another effective Noxious Trap (R) strategy is placing mushrooms directly on enemy minions or in the middle of fight. Enemies often don’t react quickly enough, allowing you to proc it instantly and deal sweet Noxious Trap (R) damage.
Riot
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.
