He can always blind the enemy and disengage by ghosting himself with his W and simply crawling away, not giving a shit.

Teemo can win lane because he is ranged, while most top laners are melee. With the additional harrass from your poison, the blind that can save you from some damage and build in ghost, that can help you kite anyone Teemo has a good skillset to counter melee champions.

Although, you can just pick some heavy bursting caster against him and he is suddenly not all that powerful. If you know you are gonna be facing Teemo, you can always try going toplane Ryze, you will make him suffer.
