How to beat Teemo as Yone: the early game

Levels 1-2 belong to Teemo — his auto range and Blinding Dart let him poke you freely while shutting off your auto damage the moment you step up. The blind does not stop Mortal Steel or Spirit Cleave, so trade with abilities rather than autos and count its flat 7-second cooldown.
