Favour timeline — the windows in Teemo's game plan

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

This is Teemo's own plan; across 288 pooled games the lane is leaning Kled.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1KledKled's level 1 Bear Trap on a Rope is his only real threat window — you do not have Q yet and a pull into a mounted W-joust is lethal at one ability apiece.
Level 2TeemoBlinding Dart blanks Violent Tendencies — four autos, all wasted — but it never touches Bear Trap on a Rope or Jousting, so you kite the abilities and blind only the auto window.
Level 3TeemoFull poison loop plus two abilities against his cooldown-gated Q — you control every trade as long as you respect the Beartrap timing.
Levels 4-5Even / skillBear Trap on a Rope is 10-9s here and you still have no shrooms until 6, but your 680 range plus Move Quick beats a Kled with one entry tool — this is a control window, not a coin flip.
Level 6TeemoNoxious Trap covers his R charge paths and your max-rank Q shuts down any all-in attempt — you dictate the pace of the lane completely.
First itemEven / skillLiandry's DoT pressures him through Skaarl's health pool, mushrooms lock down the split lane, and Sundered Sky is not online yet — this window is yours before his item spike arrives.
Two+ itemsKledBlack Cleaver and Sundered Sky give Kled the move speed and burst to run you down even through a mushroom wall — the poke lead you built no longer compensates for his raw damage output.

How to beat Kled as Teemo: the early game

Kled level 1 is the one window that flips against you — Bear Trap on a Rope throws 800 against your 680 Q, so he opens from outside your range and if the shackle holds you are yanked into Violent Tendencies. Stay at the tip of auto range. From level 2 the trade maths change, but be precise about why: Blinding Dart blanks Violent Tendencies, because those four attacks are basic attacks. It does nothing to the trap itself and nothing to Jousting, which is a 550-range dash he can recast to leave again. So blind the autos, not the engage. Poke, Move Quick out, repeat, and count his trap: 11s at rank 1, 10s at rank 2 — a long free window each time he misses.
