Riot Games today (October 1, 2025) released a developer video introducing the new champion “Teemo”, set to launch as the game’s tenth champion alongside the start of early access on October 8.
Teemo is the 10th champion, set to be implemented simultaneously with early access launch. He can deploy explosive poisonous mushrooms and concealable or burnable bushes, and uses ranged weapons such as darts and slingshots—making him a specialist in fighting from a distance.

Successfully landing attacks grants him a “Badge”, which evolves his abilities—causing deployed mushrooms to emit poison gas and darts to become poisoned, making them even more dangerous.
Additionally, Teemo features unique mechanics such as a parachute that allows controlled descent while moving side-to-side in mid-air, and the ability to briefly increase movement speed while becoming completely invisible. These traits suggest he’ll excel at long-range combat with sudden ambushes when opponents are off-guard.
