Favour timeline — the windows in Teemo's game plan

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

This is Teemo's own plan; across 2,119 pooled games the lane is Ornn-favoured.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1OrnnBellows Breath (W) is the only thing that applies Brittle — Living Forge just gives him resists — but it wins his level-1 all-in if he reaches you.
Level 2OrnnHe hits level 2 with W already available and can chain Brittle into a melee burst that exceeds your two-auto poke output — still his window.
Level 3Even / skillQ is live but you are not yet max-ranked; you can blind his autos and kite, but a clean E-into-W pillar combo still threatens your HP bar — genuinely even.
Levels 4-5TeemoQ at max rank blinds every auto attempt, your shrooms reveal his approach, and he has no ranged poke to reach you — you dictate every trade.
Level 6TeemoShrooms on the tribush and river entrances mean his R charge-up animation is never a surprise; you poison-kite from safety while he stands still trying to hit W pillars.
First itemTeemoLiandry's percent-health burn finally digs through his tank stats; mushrooms slow him so he cannot close range, and your E DoT ticks whether he wants to trade or not.
Two+ itemsTeemoYou still win the split-push duel with full shroom coverage, but his teamfight R scales with his Masterwork items — avoid grouped fights — the recast pass of his ult is what knocks up.

How to beat Ornn as Teemo: the early game

Ornn owns the first two levels against you — his Bellows Breath (W) applies Brittle instantly and his melee-range burst with a Brittle proc hits harder than your single-auto poke at this stage, so do not walk up to trade before you have Q. Once Q is online, blind every auto attempt he makes and immediately kite back with W Move Quick before Brittle can be detonated. Never let him chain his E knockup into a W pillar at this range; his E has a clear stomp animation — back away the moment you see him wind up. Shroom the tribush at level 3 so any river-side approach is revealed and slowed; that single piece of vision changes the threat calculus entirely.
