Favour timeline — the windows in Renekton's game plan

Read from Renekton's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Teemo.

This is Renekton's own plan; across 1,319 pooled games the lane is leaning Teemo.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1TeemoBlinding Dart blinds your basic attacks — the W slashes and Cull the Meek still land — but with no E to close he simply steps back and pokes you for free.
Level 2Even / skillE is online but Blinding Dart still beats your dash if he reads it — only commit if you watched Q land elsewhere or he burned it on a minion.
Level 3Even / skillAll three abilities online but Teemo's Move Quick passive lets him stay just outside E range; you cannot force a trade without seeing Blinding Dart go down first.
Levels 4-5TeemoHe kites back immediately after each Blinding Dart with Move Quick passive — the narrow gap your E covers resets before your next empowered W is ready.
Level 6RenektonDominus gives you the HP to eat poison ticks and the Fury to fire two empowered Ws; this is your only window to solo-kill him, and you must take it now.
First itemEven / skillMR plus Sundered Sky's Q heal can offset one round of poison if you catch him without Blinding Dart — but the window is narrow and he resets the moment it lands.
Two+ itemsTeemoNashor's Tooth and Wit's End on-hit damage compound his poison into a DPS you cannot outheal, and shrooms turn the entire sidelane into his territory.

How to beat Teemo as Renekton: the early game

Level 1 is his — Blinding Dart is 7s and blinds your basic attacks, so your autos and the W auto-reset are gone while it is on you, though the W slashes and Cull the Meek still land as spell damage. Hug the tower side, last-hit with the outer tip of Q, and deny him free poke by freezing near your tower. At level 2 you get E, but only dash in once you have seen the dart spent — otherwise he blinds the autos that bracket your stun and walks out on Move Quick.
