Read from Cho'Gath's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Teemo.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Teemo | Blinding Dart blanks your level-1 autos and Toxic Shot poisons every hit, while you hold only Rupture. |
| Level 2 | Teemo | At 2-3 Blinding Dart and Toxic Shot's stacked poison out-trade your single Rupture before Carnivore heals enough. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | By now Carnivore sustain and Rupture's slow let you farm through his poke and contest trades to stabilize the lane. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Your Rupture knock-up into Feral Scream silence holds the lane even, but his kite and blind keep it skill-dependent. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Feast comes online — a true-damage execute that ignores his low HP and turns any step into Rupture range into a kill threat. |
| First item | Cho'Gath | Stacked Feast HP plus a health item let you facetank his poke, and Feral Scream silences his Q so you shove him under tower. |
| Two+ items | Teemo | Noxious Trap zones every choke and objective and Blinding Dart blanks your autos, so he reclaims the map off the back of it. |
Levels 1-3 belong to Teemo and you have to respect that. His Q blinds your autos so a telegraphed Rupture followed by Vorpal Spikes empowered autos does nothing — the blind eats both the basic and the cone proc — and his E poison chips you faster than Carnivore heals it back before your kit has ranks. Do not chase: you have no gap-closer, and his passive move speed plus the blind mean you eat poison for free if you walk up. Last-hit with the tip of Rupture, soak the poke, and concede these stages.
