Teemo's whole kit is revolved around being annoying.

The best lane to do this is top lane. There's only one champion there and he is mostly melee.

Mid lane is too short to kite, and is filled with bursty APs who can outtrade Teemo and will only trade when they can. Teemo can hardly choose to trade.

Bot lane is as big as top lane, but there are two champions there. Of course, he can blind the ADC but not after he has AA'd at least once and you still have the support to damage you (and in early levels this has to be taken serious) and the ADC has some spells as well. If he gets ganked or the other team engages he can only run, not peel for himself (nor for his ADC if Teemo is the support). He gets blown up unless he builds tanky really fast.
