Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1TeemoTeemo's Blinding Dart (Q) negates your empowered W hits and Cull the Meek autos from the very first minion wave — no E means no gap close, so he pokes 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.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Level 1 is his — Teemo's Blinding Dart (Q) cancels your empowered W's extra hits and shuts off your Q heal autos, so never walk into his auto range to fish for a trade you cannot complete. Hug the tower side, last-hit with the outer tip of Cull the Meek, and deny him free poke by freezing near your tower. At level 2 you get E, but only dash in if you watched Blinding Dart land on a minion or heard it go out — otherwise he blinds your combo mid-flight and you take a full poison tick for nothing.
