Favour timeline — the windows in Teemo's game plan

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

This is Teemo's own plan; across 986 pooled games the lane is leaning Urgot.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1TeemoUrgot's only level-1 threat is walking up to auto and activating Purge — its bolts are basic attacks, so Blinding Dart cancels both outright.
Level 2TeemoToxic Shot poison stacks compound through levels 2–3 faster than Urgot can sustain without pots, and his E range is too short to punish you at your auto range.
Level 3TeemoAll three basic abilities are online and your poison kite loop (Q blind, E poison, W disengage) leaves Urgot unable to proc Purge without eating full DoT rotations.
Levels 4-5Even / skillUrgot's tankiness starts absorbing your poison DoT without dying, and his Corrosive Charge slow makes positioning errors increasingly punishing — both players must play carefully.
Level 6Even / skillLevel 6 is more macro than duel power for Teemo — Noxious Trap seals choke points but Urgot's R execute threat means an all-in at low HP is suicide; play for map, not kill.
First itemEven / skillFirst item is approximately even: Liandry's Torment ticks hurt on a high-HP Urgot, but his percent-HP Purge also scales — whoever is ahead in poke damage wins the coin flip trades.
Two+ itemsUrgotUrgot's percent-max-HP Purge and his bulk from completed items outpace your total poison damage per trade; avoid extended 1v1s and convert your lead into shroom-walled split pressure instead.

How to beat Urgot as Teemo: the early game

Urgot cannot trade at level 1 without walking into your auto range, so the second he steps up to CS, land Blinding Dart (Q) and let E Toxic Shot coat his approach. He has no dash to close gap and his Purge (W) only fires while he walks toward you — the Purge bolts count as basic attacks, so the blind blanks every one of them alongside his autos and he loses the exchange entirely. Respect one thing: Corrosive Charge (Q) reaches 800 against your 680, so you cannot outrange it — sidestep the circle instead, because if it lands he will immediately try to E-flip you. A poisoned Urgot who is blinded and outside Purge's 490 simply takes free damage.
