Read from Teemo's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Jayce.
This is Teemo's own plan; across 813 pooled games the lane is leaning Teemo.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Jayce | Shock Blast through an Acceleration Gate reaches far past your 680-range Blinding Dart — he owns level 1 poke free of punishment. |
| Level 2 | Teemo | Toxic Shot adds sustained poison damage to your short trades and his Mercury Hammer autos all miss through a Blinding Shot blind — you now tax every swap he makes. |
| Level 3 | Teemo | With all three basics online you control trade timing: Q his hammer-form all-in, poison him out with E, and Move Quick away before his knockback E-gate can connect. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | His gated Shock Blast still outranges Blinding Dart at every rank — what keeps levels 4-5 even is that Toxic Shot taxes every hammer-form farm trip he makes. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Noxious Trap mushrooms go down at every river entry but his level 6 power spike in hammer burst keeps the duel itself genuinely even — neither side has a clean kill without burning cooldowns. |
| First item | Even / skill | Liandry's Torment DoT combined with Toxic Shot makes sustained trades threatening for him, but his Mercury Cannon Q also scales, keeping the damage trade roughly matched rather than tilted hard either way. |
| Two+ items | Jayce | At full build Jayce's hammer burst (Thundering Blow knockback into acceleration-gate Q) is a genuine one-shot pattern on your small HP pool — he reclaims ownership of the raw 1v1 even as you control the map through mushrooms. |
At level 1 Jayce's Mercury Cannon Q acceleration gate out-ranges your Blinding Shot, so do not walk forward to land Q into his poke — last-hit at the tip of your auto range and let the first wave settle before you commit to poking. The moment you hit level 2 and add Toxic Shot to your kit the calculus shifts: every time he swaps into Mercury Hammer to farm melee he is in range of your E poison and your Q blind cancels his empowered hammer autos entirely, making close-range trades a tax he cannot afford. Through level 3 trade on his stance swap cooldown — he cannot gate-Q you from Mercury Cannon range while he is sitting in Mercury Hammer recovering mana.
