Read from Teemo's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Vladimir.
This is Teemo's own plan; across 1,370 pooled games the lane is leaning Vladimir.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 Vladimir only has Transfusion Q, and it costs him nothing to cast — the health cost in his kit belongs to Tides of Blood, so there is no cost window to punish. Win the auto exchange on its own merits. |
| Level 2 | Teemo | Blinding Dart at level 2 deletes his entire auto-trade window — fire it the instant he walks up, and your E poison ticks through a trade where his autos do literally zero damage. |
| Level 3 | Teemo | Full kit online: Q-blind into auto-E-auto with W escape ready punishes any Sanguine Pool cooldown and builds a meaningful HP lead while he cannot retaliate cleanly. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Pre-Liandry's Vladimir out-heals your DoT in extended trades, so keep exchanges short — poke and retreat on Sanguine Pool's 28-second timer rather than committing to a full pattern. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | His Hemoplague ult is now online and changes every all-in calculation — shroom the map and use your level 6 to make roaming and dives costly, not to duel him after R is available. |
| First item | Teemo | Liandry's DoT cuts through Transfusion healing and your shrooms wall off his side of the lane: force all-ins strictly on Sanguine Pool's 28s downtime — that gap is your kill window. |
| Two+ items | Vladimir | Two-item Vladimir heals faster than you poison him, Zhonya's or Cosmic Drive covers his pool gap, and Hemoplague bursts you before W gets you out — split-push in a shroom-warded lane and let your team fight his R elsewhere. |
At level 1 Vladimir's only tool is his Q Transfusion — it pokes and heals him and it costs him nothing at all, so there is no cost window to wait out; you simply have to win the auto exchange outright. The moment you hit level 2, every time he walks up to Q you hit Blinding Dart first: his autos miss, your E poison ticks, and his heal barely covers the exchange deficit. The critical rule these three levels is to never commit your Q while his Sanguine Pool is available — he simply pools through it, you waste the blind, and he wins the trade free. Bank small leads, keep the wave slightly toward your side, and remember the health cost in his kit is Tides of Blood, not Transfusion.

Vladimir, slightly — Teemo wins 45.18% of 1,370 games; winnable with the right plan.
Mostly — Vladimir has a small statistical edge (54.82% win rate), but execution decides this lane far more than the pick does.
No — if anything Vladimir has the slight edge (Teemo wins 45.18%), though it stays close.
Teemo takes Press the Attack on the Precision tree with Triumph, Legend: Alacrity and Cut Down, and Inspiration secondary (Biscuit Delivery and Cosmic Insight) vs Vladimir.
Start Doran's Ring + 2 Health Potions and back for Oblivion Orb (≈800g) — cuts his healing. Build Nashor's Tooth (on-hit poison) first, then Liandry's Torment, with Mercury's Treads.
