Read from Kayle's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Teemo.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Teemo | His Blinding Dart (Q) cancels your autos and you are melee range — you own nothing at level 1, so concede CS and never trade. |
| Level 2 | Teemo | He has Toxic Shot poison plus Move Quick speed while you still have just Q and one W; he zones you off the wave for free. |
| Level 3 | Teemo | His blind shuts your autos every step-up and your damage is purely auto-based — last-hit at range and heal the poke with W. |
| Levels 4-5 | Teemo | You stabilize slightly as Q's resistance shred and W sustain come online, but his blind-and-kite still wins every extended trade — hold ground. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Divine Ascent makes your autos ranged and R gives full invulnerability, so you finally farm safely and survive his all-in or a dive. |
| First item | Even / skill | His first item lands harder here: a 7-second Blinding Dart still blanks an auto-reliant Kayle, so his poison wins any trade where you drift inside 680. |
| Two+ items | Kayle | You out-DPS him in the 1v1 with E's missing-health damage, but his shrooms wall your splitpush — the duel is yours, the map is contested. |
Levels 1 to 5 are his and they are rough — Teemo's Blinding Dart (Q) shuts off your autos and your E on-hit every time you step up, and you are melee range so you cannot answer his Toxic Shot poison and Move Quick kite. Do not try to trade; you have only Q and one point of W, and his passive poke will just bleed you off the wave. Last-hit at max distance, hold W (Celestial Blessing) to heal the chip, and use Q only to push the wave or to slow and shred his resistances if he overcommits — never to open a fight you cannot finish before the blind comes back.
