Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1TeemoHis 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 2TeemoStill no combo online and he out-ranges you; his blind plus poison chip means every step up costs you health for nothing.
Level 3Even / skillYour Q-W combo lands — W-charge through his kite into a Q3 knock-up — but he can pre-poison and walk, so it is an even skirmish, not a kill.
Levels 4-5Even / skillYou can W-close and Q3, but his E poison and blind reset the trade to neutral — neither side owns the window.
Level 6K'SanteAll Out shreds his squishy frame: you gain range and penetration, he has no dash, and your R-dash runs him down when his blind is down.
First itemEven / skillYour 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+ itemsTeemoArmor does nothing to his on-hit poison; his shroom walls zone you and he splitpushes — his scaling and map pressure reclaim the lane.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Teemo owns Levels 1-2 outright — his Q blind shuts off your Q autos and your passive mark, and his passive move speed lets him kite the moment you step up, so you just 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-charge to eat the distance, then Q3 for the knock-up — but he can still pre-poison and walk away, so it stays a coinflip skirmish.
