Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillLevel 1 you have no combo and only single-target Q, so you concede the start to his poke — last-hit at Q range and don't burn E chasing.
Level 2NeekoYour second Q point lets you re-bloom poke over the wave and the E threat keeps him honest — his blind can't stop spell damage.
Level 3NeekoQ plus E come online: you root him through the minions and chain Q re-blooms, a trade his blind-and-poke kit can't answer.
Levels 4-5NeekoYou farm with Q waveclear and pressure with the E-root threat while he can only poke — you trend ahead without committing.
Level 6NeekoPop Blossom off a landed E is a full burst combo and likely kill; disguise/W lets you ult unseen so he can't kite the channel.
First itemNeekoYour Liandry's/Blackfire spike jumps your Q burst and clear past his mana-limited poke — own the mid-game pick windows.
Two+ itemsEven / skillYou still win the duel, but his shrooms and splitpush become the real threat — close the map before scaling matters.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Teemo's blind (Q) is a small annoyance here, not a wall — you're a caster, so your damage comes from Q re-blooms and the E root, none of which his blind touches. Level 1 you have no combo and only single-target Q, so don't walk into his auto range to chuck it; last-hit at max Q range and eat a little poison. By 2-3 your second Q point and E let you re-bloom over the minions onto him and threaten a root the instant he steps up to farm — that's your first real punish window.
