Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillLevel 1 you have only Q and no aura, so no all-in — but Teemo is just poking too; farm the Q cone and don't burn E chasing a kited blind.
Level 2MordekaiserQ + E online: bait the Blinding Dart, then E-pull and Obliterate — your aura stacks off the ability even through the blind, and W shield-heal beats his poke in a short trade.
Level 3MordekaiserWith E added you pull him in, Q the single-target sweetspot, and the Darkness Rise aura ticks through the blind window — one combo on an escape-less Teemo halves him.
Levels 4-5TeemoMove Quick (W) speed lets him kite your aura and stack poison on your max HP faster than you grind him — don't chase a blind you can't punish here.
Level 6MordekaiserRealm of Death boxes him 1v1 with no shrooms, no kite room, and no escaping the realm — land E and it's a near-guaranteed kill.
First itemTeemoHis blind refreshes and Move Quick resets the kite, so a missed E means he poisons you free and walks — the item all-in only works if E connects, which he can deny.
Two+ itemsTeemoHis shrooms, poison range, and splitpush out-scale your flat late game — you can't catch him without E, so the lane is his if it isn't closed early.

Early game (levels 1–5)

"Teemo's Blinding Dart (Q) is the early annoyance — it blanks your autos so you can't build Darkness Rise off attacks, but it does NOT stop Obliterate (Q), so smash the cone for waveclear and last-hits at range and remember abilities still stack your aura. At Level 1 with one ability and no aura you have no all-in, so just farm and eat a little poison. The lane gets playable at 2-3: bait the blind on a fake step-up, then once it's down E-pull, Q on the single-target sweetspot, and let the aura tick — his poke can't out-sustain your W shield-heal in a short trade, and he has zero escape once you're on him."
