Read from Teemo's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Poppy.
This is Teemo's own plan; across 412 pooled games the lane is leaning Poppy.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Poppy | Poppy's raw level-1 auto damage and Hammer Shock out-trade your single E tick — she sets the brawl tone before your blind is even relevant. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Neither kit has a decisive Level 2 edge: you can blind her next auto, but she can shield the poke and step back — even skirmish until you get full kit. |
| Level 3 | Teemo | Full kit online: Blinding Dart blanks all of Poppy's auto damage while E poison stacks freely, and W lets you kite every Heroic Charge attempt at a safe angle. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Heroic Charge is 14s at rank 1, but Steadfast Presence gives her more Armour and MR the lower she drops — poking her down makes her harder to finish, not easier. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Shrooms at the wall corners flip her Level 6 — the bushes she needs for a Heroic Charge pin are now slowing traps, but her ult gives her an engage option your W cannot always outrun. |
| First item | Even / skill | Liandry's DoT turns her tanky HP pool into a timer; shrooms slow her to half speed through the approach — she cannot survive a poke loop the way she survives a straight trade. |
| Two+ items | Poppy | Full tank Poppy plus Keeper's Verdict: she absorbs mushroom stacks long enough to launch a full-duration ult and eject you from every teamfight — the late game belongs to her engage kit. |
Poppy owns level 1 — her auto damage and Hammer Shock deal more raw burst than your single-dot E tick, and she has no dash to punish, so she will simply walk at you and brawl. Respect this window: last-hit from outside her auto range, never step close enough to give her a free Heroic Charge into a wall, and do not blow W chasing. Your only early job is to identify which wall she wants to use for the E stun and plant a mushroom exactly there before she sets up the angle.
