Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1TeemoTeemo blinds my empowered autos with Blinding Dart and pokes with Toxic Shot while I have no Mist or Skip 'n Slash to close — I just farm and eat it.
Level 2Even / skillEven ground: his blind-poke still out-trades a mistless me, but I out-sustain it and he has no escape, so neither side commits.
Level 3Even / skillI get Snip Snip! plus Skip 'n Slash to poke-and-reset, but he can blind the dash auto and kite the move speed back — it stays a coinflip skirmish.
Levels 4-5TeemoLevels 4-5 are my worst window — still short-range against his blind and poison with no all-in threat yet, so this stretch is his.
Level 6GwenAt 6 Needlework plus Hallowed Mist flips it: I make the all-in untargetable, R-slow a champion with no dash, and heal through his DPS.
First itemGwenRiftmaker online means Snip Snip!'s %-max-HP and true damage plus my ability healing beat his Toxic Shot chip in any extended duel.
Two+ itemsEven / skillI still win the 1v1, but his shrooms and splitpush turn it into a map problem — respect mushroom walls and end early.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Teemo owns the first two levels and I just swallow it — his Blinding Dart turns off my Thousand Cuts on-hit autos and his Toxic Shot poison chips me while I have no Hallowed Mist and no Skip 'n Slash to close. I do NOT walk up to throw a Snip Snip! he can blind through and kite away from; I last-hit at the back of the wave and accept the poison. The saving grace is his DPS can't out-pace my eventual ability healing and he has zero escape the second I do reach him, so I farm toward 6 rather than trade.
