Teemo Counterplay

Zoning Counterplay

when spamming mushroom ({2xko} mushroom mushroom mushroom)
- Layer 1:
  - Run up and hit mushroom
  - Run up and block
- Layer 2:
  - Teemo will weave in slingshot to punish breaking the mushrooms or to cover an assist call
    - e.g. {2xko} mushroom mushroom mushroom j.Slingshot assist
  - Counterplay:
    - Plan A:
      - hit some mushrooms
      - when they {2xko} j.Slingshot need to jump at them with button preemptively to counter-hit them
    - Alternatively:
      - hit some mushrooms
      - super-jump over slingshot and punish
    - Counter-counterplay:
      - Opponent can tag into assist and punish
        
        Use your own assist to counter
- Layer 3:
  - opponent does {2xko} 2S1 (up slingshot) to catch jump
  - Counterplay
    - break mushrooms > dash punish
- Other options
  - special cancel off of the mushroom with a forward advancing special
- In general
  - jump at him when you read slingshot and punish
  - don’t jump into the mushrooms
When shoveling mushroom
- hit mushroom before it hits the ground (only after bouncing)
When mushrooming close in neutral
- run up and counter hit him.
- mushrooms do not have hitbox until they hit the ground
- this is a read (technically reactable but hard)
  - they can instead do jump slingshot or jump float
