Favour timeline — the windows in Aurora's game plan

Read from Aurora's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Teemo.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillHis Q blind cancels the auto behind your Q and your Spirit Abjuration stacks, so at level 1 you're a single-spell mage with no escape conceding the poke war.
Level 2TeemoWith E online you trade through the blind via the slow-and-hop, dealing spell damage he can't negate and pulling the lane back toward even on your terms.
Level 3TeemoThrough levels 4-5 his blind plus W move-speed kite out-paces your poke — every auto-trade you want is one he simply turns off.
Levels 4-5Even / skillHis range and kite mean he dictates every trade tempo before 6, chipping you with E poison faster than your passive heals it.
Level 6Even / skillBetween Worlds slows him, makes you untargetable from outside the rift, and walls him in with no dash to escape — your W-reset-on-takedown owns this all-in.
First itemEven / skillYour Luden's poke spike sharpens the Q-recast burst, but his Liandry's poison and W kite scale right alongside it, keeping the trade window contested.
Two+ itemsTeemoR shrooms wall your W and R escape lines and his Q blinds your engage, so his kite and splitpush reclaim the lane past two items.

How to beat Teemo as Aurora: the early game

Teemo's Q blind defines the early game: it blanks the auto that follows your Q and shuts off the autos that stack Spirit Abjuration, so don't walk into his range just to land a missile he can negate. Last-hit at max Q range and lean on E for damage, since the blast slows him and hops you back out of his auto range without needing autos that the blind can cancel. His E poison out-chips your passive heal if you stand in it, so trade in short bursts, never extended, and don't chase him into brush where his W move speed lets him kite free.
