Favour timeline — the windows in Singed's game plan

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

This is Singed's own plan; across 1,245 pooled games the lane is leaning Teemo.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1TeemoTeemo's E poison plus ranged autos deal free damage at level 1; Poison Trail alone cannot retaliate from range and your only trade option is walking into Blinding Dart.
Level 2TeemoBlinding Dart (Q) comes up every 7 seconds and he will land it the moment you step toward him — your auto-attack damage drops to zero and he pokes freely.
Level 3TeemoMega Adhesive is online but Move Quick outruns a standalone throw — tag him with Poison Trail first, because being struck drops that passive speed.
Levels 4-5Even / skillProxying is your strongest tool here — run behind his wave to force a decision between CS and pressuring you, while staying outside Blinding Dart range entirely.
Level 6Even / skillInsanity Potion's speed is the first moment you can credibly close on him: poison strips Move Quick's passive, the goo cuts the retreat, and Fling into it roots him.
First itemSingedRylai's Crystal Scepter makes every step through your Poison Trail a permanent slow — he cannot exit the cloud on foot and the W-then-Fling combination locks him in for a full attrition trade.
Two+ itemsEven / skillHe wins any late extended shroom war through map denial, but the straight 1v1 is yours with Rylai's active — close the game or take objectives rather than sitting in a shroomed side lane.

How to beat Teemo as Singed: the early game

At level 1 you have nothing but Poison Trail and he has a ranged auto plus E poison ticking on you from outside the cloud — accept this. Stand back, last-hit with your trail, and do not walk up into Blinding Dart range to trade because he wins any exchange where your autos are offline. The key early survival rule is that his blind only stops autos and on-hits, not your poison aura itself, so every second he is standing in your cloud he is taking damage even when you are blinded. Level 2 adds Fling but he has too much move speed from his passive to get caught unless he overextends; level 3 Mega Adhesive gives you your first real threat — a W-then-E combination can pin him in the goo, but he can see it coming and will back off the moment you throw it.
