Guide to Countering Teemo as Varus

Tips for Playing as Varus against Teemo

Try to take advantage of Piercing Arrow's very long range to snipe at enemy champions before a fight or as they're trying to flee.

An early point in Blighted Quiver helps harass enemy champions and get killing blows on minions.

During short range fights it's sometimes best to fire Piercing Arrow quickly, rather than charging it to full power.

Advice to Win Against Teemo

Teemo's Toxic Shot punishes players who get hit and back out, so stay at a safe range until you're ready to commit.

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