Read from Illaoi's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Teemo.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Teemo | Teemo's level-1 Q Blinding Dart disables your autos and out-pokes you. |
| Level 2 | Teemo | At level 2 his poison-and-kite pattern keeps him safely ahead. |
| Level 3 | Teemo | Level 3 his blind kills your autos, not W — but he still out-ranges you. |
| Levels 4-5 | Teemo | Levels 4-5 his invisibility and kite deny you any clean tentacle hit. |
| Level 6 | Illaoi | Level-6 R gives you one kill window to hard-engage before he blinds and runs. |
| First item | Teemo | First item Noxious Trap shrooms let Teemo re-zone your tentacle spacing. |
| Two+ items | Teemo | At 2+ items Teemo pulls ahead — his blind on your basic-attack-reliant kit plus kited move-speed and shroom zoning let him whittle you down before your tentacles or R can connect. |
Teemo dominates the early levels — his Q Blinding Dart shuts off your autos, though not Harsh Lesson, and his poison-plus-kite pattern whittles you down while your slow tentacles never connect.
