As the argument with Teemo and Jax goes on, let me explain a few things....

I personally use them both very frequently and I must say, whoever is better is mostly situational.

Teemo's blind is immensly (not sure if I spelt that right) strong when against auto-attackers.

Same with Jax's Counter Strike.

Whoever has a bigger advantage in damage, such as runes and masteries, is more likely to win an early tradeoff. Teemo is naturally very squishy, and for that reason, the huge burst from Jax's combo of Leap Strike and Empower can devastate Teemo at earlier levels. Leap Strike does in fact outrange Teemo's auto attacks, but not his Blinding Dart, so being more AP focused on Teemo is a good advantage against Jax. Jax's ultimate gives him a huge boost to his armor and magic resist, and passively makes his auto-attacks even more of a pain. Teemo's ultimate can be used to bait Jax into jumping on him, as the slow and damage can let Teemo continue on with his combo. Although Teemo is an enourmous counter to people like Tryndamere, Jax relies alot on his spells too, specially on a low cooldown-high damage Empower that is a guarantee hit even when blinded. Whoever wins on a duel would not be a fair duel, as ranged champions have much lower armor and magic resist, unlike melee, who scale with level. Although it may be rough, a fed Jax and a fed Teemo, whoever has the better strategy would win. Teemo who stays still for the whole fight and spams spells is a dead yordle. But a Teemo who can kite well with shrooms and blinding dart has a huge rate of success. Although whoever wins a fight is mostly based upon items, and who had the upper hand in environment, as well as the first blow.
