Favour timeline — the windows in Teemo's game plan

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

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1TeemoYone has no ranged poke at Level 1 and Blinding Dart removes his autos and passive on-hit — but not Mortal Steel, so take the free chip and hold your spacing.
Level 2TeemoToxic Shot poison from Level 2 trades stacks while he is blinded, so each Q trade simultaneously denies his damage and deals yours — he loses every short exchange.
Level 3Even / skillFull kit lets you poke-kite with W between his Q cooldowns; his only answer is a raw Soul Unbound commit that you can see coming and blind mid-dash.
Levels 4-5Even / skillA maxed Blinding Dart on a flat 7 seconds blankets every wave: he never autos freely. Mortal Steel and Spirit Cleave still land, so poke into the gap right after he spends W on the wave.
Level 6Even / skillFate Sealed becomes a real threat at Level 6 — he can chain R into Soul Unbound for a kill combo, and E is 22 seconds at rank 1, so you get three darts per cast if you count it.
First itemEven / skillLiandry's Torment on-burn through every Noxious Trap means Yone takes percent-health magic damage just for walking to minions — your shroom layer is now a kill zone, not just a slow.
Two+ itemsTeemoKraken Slayer true damage and Immortal Shieldbow let Yone absorb a full mushroom burst and stick to you; the extended duel at two items belongs to him and you cannot win it alone.

How to beat Yone as Teemo: the early game

Yone wants to walk up, Q twice and trade with Spirit Cleave — Blinding Dart dents that pattern without dismantling it. The blind removes his basic attacks and the Way of the Hunter magic hit riding every second one, and that is real free damage. What it does not remove is Mortal Steel or Spirit Cleave: the wiki lists Q as landing through Blind, and W is a cone ability with no auto component at all. So blind his walk-up, take the chip, and hold spacing for the Q. Keep Move Quick charged by avoiding damage between skirmishes — when he burns Soul Unbound, the speed lets you land one more poison auto before he snaps back.
