Why this duo works

Teemo adds magic damage to Zed's physical burst, so opponents cannot rely on armor alone. Teemo's Noxious Trap(R) slow can also make it easier for Zed to land his full combo on a caught target.

Measured in High Elo: this duo wins 1.3pp more often than expected over 1,124 games.

Playing the duo

Teemo can provide the magic damage that an AD assassin team needs alongside Zed's physical burst, making a one-resistance defense less effective.

Noxious Trap(R) slows enemies, which gives Zed a better chance to land his full combo; Zed players value slows and other crowd control for that reason.

How to play as Teemo

Set Noxious Trap(R) around likely approach routes before Zed looks for a pick; if an opponent is slowed, Zed has an easier time landing his combo.

How to play as Zed

Use the pairing when your team needs magic damage alongside your physical burst; Teemo mains recommend AD assassins partly because Teemo can cover AP damage.
