User blog comment:Stray Cat/Teemo Build/@comment-4888212-20130529140358

i play teemo as tanky bruiser in top since quite some time and have a winrate of 88% since i play him that way:

i start: defensive item against type of enemy i face (armor/MR), or getting 2x rejuvenation bead + 3 HP pots.

R>E>Q>W, i get philostone (later sell or upgrade to eleisas for the manaregen in lategame), RoA, gold/5 critblade (later into atma),frozen mallet, warmogs, boots of choice(95% mercury), atma, randuin.(can use abyssal if the enemy is AP heavy).

many items can be exchanged with one another, allowing for heavy counterbuilding:

enemy stacks armor and is AD heavy? get the hourglass!

They stack Mres (or dont) but are AP heavy? abyssal! etc, you get the point.

my runes are armor and MR/lvl, with AD and some mpen.

this build gives incredible tankiness, good kiting abilities (randuin, FM, shrooms), nice dmg with the AP from RoA and AD from atma and those 4 HP items.

a further advantage is that since you play toplane, ppl wont really check out your build, so for the first time you appear in a TF, theyll actually try to hardfocus you.

thats when we usually win the TF hard, after that the enemies start to adapt.

but since you also deal high dmg with E steroid, and RoA, and are pretty annoying with the blinds on the adc, you give quite the CC your team needs and you can hardly be shut down.

if you get focused, your team wins the fight, if you dont get focused, their adc wont deal damage for half of the time. the definition of a tank.

try it out, its pretty awesome :D
