Favour timeline — the windows in Teemo's game plan

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

This is Teemo's own plan; across 1,319 pooled games the lane is leaning Teemo.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1RenektonRenekton's Cull the Meek heals back your E poison before it stacks and his raw level-1 stats let him trade profitably even through a Blinding Dart — respect the range and last-hit safely.
Level 2Even / skillBoth kits are online but Blinding Dart now answers his empowered-W auto follow-up; the duel is decided by who baits the other's cooldown first.
Level 3Even / skillYour Q blind cancels his auto damage in the empowered-W window and Move Quick lets you disengage before Dominus, making this a genuine skill-match at full kit.
Levels 4-5RenektonAbove 50 Fury his Ruthless Predator stun doubles to 1.5 seconds, and Slice and Dice closes too fast for Blinding Dart to negate the combo before it lands.
Level 6TeemoYour first Noxious Trap placements seal off every Slice and Dice angle — he cannot gap-close without triggering a slow that bleeds his fury and shows the all-in before it starts.
First itemEven / skillLiandry's Torment DoT rivals his Steelcaps-and-Sheen durability spike, making every mushroom field a genuine kill threat, but his CC can still punish overextensions.
Two+ itemsRenektonBlack Cleaver and Death's Dance let Renekton survive your poison loop in a straight duel, but your Noxious Trap field controls the sidelane map so he wins fights you never take.

How to beat Renekton as Teemo: the early game

Renekton owns level 1 harder than almost any other matchup you face — his Cull the Meek heals back your E poison ticks before they compound, and his base AD means even a Q-blinded auto sequence still gets him minion gold and sustain. Hold your Blinding Dart for the moment he steps up to last-hit, not as a panic button, because he will bait the blind then back off and wait for your cooldown. Levels 2 and 3 are where the numbers start helping you: Ruthless Predator is 16 seconds at rank 1 and Blinding Dart is a flat 7, so you get two blinds for every stun. Step up with Toxic Shot the moment his W goes dark and leave on Move Quick before Slice and Dice is back.
