Item Build
Starting Items
you start with 475g
Doran's Blade is going to generally always be your go to in lane, you can opt in for ring if the laner isn't an aggressive laner or has no harass.
Core Build
Standard AP with burn, Classic Liandry's is incredibly strong on teemo when any spell damage triggers them on Full hp (max effect when they start at full hp) but doubles the damage if they hit a shroom first. Teemo scales really hard off attack speed as well from the Nashors and Magic Pen in classic can put players into negative magic resist making all your burn damage do true damage.
Flex Items
Zhonyas if you're against heavy ad team (rush a seekers armguard after stinger component for your nashors), Mejais early if you are demolishing them, Lichbane is a great 4th item if you are super ahead, rylais if they have a lot of deadly melee champs or if they are kiting you really hard, morellos if they have heavy healing (Soraka, Sona, Warwick, Yi, Kayle etc), Guinsoos can be a fun item to play with, Bloodrazor if they are big hp stacking to shred them.
Summoner Spells
Flash Ignite almost always the play. Ghost, Exhaust, Teleport or Surge can be taken as well instead of ignite. Surge is great for cheesing 1v1 or playing vs tanks, ghost if they are fast and you need to stick on them, exhaust for burst champs like tryn/yi, teleport if youre getting bullied out of lane for sure.

Personally I like to start dorans Ring and take 3 points in Q early levels before they start getting HP and Resist items as it has higher dmg per point gained on the impact and pressures their CS and its a decently low cd, quite a lot of fun. E has consistant damage but this allows you to safely poke them under turret and lvl 1 E will allow enough damage to eat through any potions they pop during laning. Alternatively you can take a second point in W lvl 7 before maxing E if you need the movespeed to run.
If you start dorans blade, only take 2 point Q instead of 3, so level 5 start maxing E instead of level 7 as you wont have the mana sustain to spam Q without mana pots or a crystaline flask. This is much more overall damage when you factor in each auto dealing an additional 30 damage (+10%ap) + the burn over 4sec resetting + your basic auto damage with dorans blade.
Always Auto > Q > Auto run them down if you can to harass, otherwise Q spam if you cant consistently auto them without losing the trade.
Runes
AP Teemo Top Runes
1× Mark of Attack Speedmark
8× Mark of Magic Penetrationmark
9× Seal of Armorseal
9× Glyph of Scaling Ability Powerglyph
3× Quintessence of Ability Powerquint
The only flex spot for runes is yellow and blue runes. If youre against an ap matchup or heavy enemy ap team, you can put Magic Resist Blues and Flat HP yellows, you can also mix flat hp yellows and keep the AP blues and just go for a Magic resist flex item like abyssal scepter, spirit visage or something of that nature.

TLDR
Teemo is S+ tier in Classic. Massive lane bully, has a blind, shrooms last 10 minutes and aren't cleared because sweeper is a small area on a huge cooldown. Until they get a Oracles Elixir, you're a menace with shrooms lvl 6. Play mindgames with the top laner, drop some shrooms on your side of the lane and make a trade where you would likely back, then just go invis near your shrooms and wait, especially when ahead this will make them mental Boom when you kill them after they thought you backed and they hard shove the wave.
Not many matchups beat teemo in classic when you itemize correctly vs your laner. Hes incredible at split pushing, team fighting mid-late game, tank shredding, early jg invade and late game jg takeover, roaming etc. With the pace that Classic plays at vs current league this is why teemo shines quite well. Bear in mind, that late game or when people start picking up Oracle elixirs if they are fed enough, shroom traps wont work and youll have to team fight or go for picks.
You can play teemo in almost every slot, but i wouldn't play it support. The gold required is too high to make a good teemo build, unless your botlane partner is goated and doesnt need cs and just kills on repeat.
