Read from K'Sante's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Teemo.
This is K'Sante's own plan; across 802 pooled games the lane is leaning K'Sante.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Teemo | His Q blind cancels your Q autos and passive mark while you have no W or E to close — he kites you with passive move speed and you can only farm. |
| Level 2 | Teemo | Still no combo online and he out-ranges you; his blind plus poison chip means every step up costs you health for nothing. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Your Q-W combo lands — W through his kite into a Q3 pull — but Toxic Shot ticks for 4 seconds while he walks, so it is an even skirmish. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | You can W-close and Q3, but his E poison and blind reset the trade to neutral — neither side owns the window. |
| Level 6 | K'Sante | All Out shreds his squishy frame: R launches him through the wall, he has no dash back, and Blinding Dart is a flat 7 seconds. |
| First item | Even / skill | Your first tank-engage item keeps you durable, but his blind plus poison off-cooldown trades it back — the all-in is a coinflip, not a free kill. |
| Two+ items | Teemo | Armor does nothing to his on-hit poison; his shroom walls zone you and he splitpushes — his scaling and map pressure reclaim the lane. |
Teemo owns Levels 1-2 outright — Blinding Dart shuts off your autos and with them your passive mark, and Move Quick lets him kite the moment you step up, so last-hit at the tip of Q and accept the poison chip. Do not chase a Q into auto range he can simply blind; you have no W or E yet to close the gap. At Level 3 your Q-W combo finally comes online — bait the blind, W to eat the distance, then Q3 for the pull — but Toxic Shot keeps ticking as he walks, so it stays a coinflip skirmish.
