Read from Zaahen's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Teemo.
This is Zaahen's own plan; across 1,453 pooled games the lane is leaning Teemo.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is a skill check with just farming and his Blinding Dart (Q) poke. |
| Level 2 | Zaahen | Level 2 is his — Blinding Dart turns off your Q entirely for its duration. |
| Level 3 | Zaahen | Level 3 stays his as Toxic Shot poison outranges anything you reach. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 stay even-marked as he zones with shrooms and poke. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is a wash in-lane since his R minefield threatens movement, not the duel. |
| First item | Zaahen | At first item his on-hit poison and blind out-trade your melee sustain. |
| Two+ items | Zaahen | With 2+ items his shrooms and blind keep you off him in every side lane. |
Level 2 is Teemo's — Blinding Dart (Q, 7s) blinds every basic attack for its duration, and The Darkin Glaive is an attack, so the blind eats it whole. Farm through the poke and step up only once the dart is spent.
