His blind dulls autos — build MR, Q-reset and E-stun him.
Track: Teemo's Q — Blinding Dart (7s cooldown). Blinds autos. Q-reset doesn’t care.
Read from Irelia's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Teemo.
This is Irelia's own plan; across 769 pooled games the lane is leaning Irelia.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Teemo | Blinding Dart kills your autos every 7s — Bladesurge still lands, the follow-up doesn't — and with no E-stun yet you last-hit with Q-resets and concede the window. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Defiant Dance (W) cuts physical damage only, so it soaks none of his magic poison, and you still can't punish a ranged kiter from melee — it's a wash. |
| Level 3 | Irelia | E (Flawless Duet) lands a stun he cannot kite, and a Bladesurge reset off it locks an escape-less Teemo in place for the first time. |
| Levels 4-5 | Irelia | Ionian Fervor stacks and your E drops toward 10s — bait the 7s blind, then E-stun through it and out-trade his poke. |
| Level 6 | Irelia | Vanguard's Edge walls off his retreat and any hit strips Move Quick's speed — your premier all-in and dive window. |
| First item | Irelia | Your first-item spike gives near-permanent reset uptime and max-stack on-hit damage, making you a lane tyrant through a single blind timer. |
| Two+ items | Irelia | You out-DPS the squishy ranged duel once you reach him; close out towers and objectives before his shrooms and splitpush become the real threat. |
Teemo's Blinding Dart (Q, 7s flat) is the whole problem early — it kills the autos after your dash, though Bladesurge itself still lands, so don't spend Q just to eat a blind and walk home poisoned by Toxic Shot. Levels 1-2 you concede the window: last-hit with Q-resets off the wave, and know that Defiant Dance (W) reduces physical damage only, so it soaks nothing from his magic poke. At 3 you get E (Flawless Duet) — a stun he cannot blind or kite, straight into a Q-reset.
