Yeah, it works. Is just a "pacman gameplay", I thought about share this but riot does not care and is so frustrating when all players share things and riot just ignore, you simple stop trying to help.
Why the portals would work? Cause will put the alcoves on the path of the game, they will be in the map and not just a random piece of island somewhere. They are now a critical path that players can use.
What I would do is trigger the portal with the plates from the side towers. Once the plate is destroyed the enemy team has access to the portal for a a certain period of time. In that way the player would know when it would happen and if a team destroy the plate that means someone is getting pressure, so the top or bot can come to help. And the team putting pressure will have to pay attention, they know they are in dangerous for getting the extra golds (risk and reward).
But this only would make the alcoves useful during lane phase (is more than now). When a team get both side towers destroyed the gate would be open if your TELEPORT is on CD, so mids that take tp could go sides (they already go but whatever) and the tops with TP as well. Is not something omg so op cause you need to be on point A to go to point B and it is all you do. The teleport can go anywhere so is better to have it ready but if it is on CD you still can use.
The other spells are ok, so I don't think TP would be 100 % pick maybe by tops what is good, I think. Only ghost and exhaust are bad but the rest is still useful.
But yeah.. riot will just ignore.
