TP is actually still good, you just need to build for it now

So if you are like me and desire map pressure and usually TP bot to help your ADC overlord carry for you, than this post is for you.

As we all know TP got nerfed on the time it takes to actually teleport us in and lost the reduction when we use it into towers but at the same time we got item 3158, and the insight mastery is now conveniently placed on the defensive tree which will be used by top laners most of the time, and better yet it's a tier 2 mastery, meaning ppl can get it even if they max one of the other two trees, so champs like riven can also get it and have TP and Flash that she so much needs for LCS BIGPLAYZ with 25%(!) less CD, that's insane.

Better yet is the distortion boot's enchant that brings the cdr to a whooping 40%(!!!), is it worth it the lost of tenacity? That depends on the game and your champ but no one can deny that 40% CDR on TP and Flash is insane plus distortion gives extra effects on both spells.

TP with insight=255s CD TP with insight+item 3158 =225s CD TP with insight+item 1333 =191s CD

This is anywhere you can TP, and lets not forget how overpowered flash is on anyone and for those rare top laners that take ghost, distortion also works on them, also champs likeShen and TwistedFate can have retarded amounts of map pressure and TF already builds item 3158 so yea...

Anyway have fun TPing bot and helping your overlord carry you with your jungler, cheers.

TP only affected those in the weaker side of laning phase.

Now you have a reason to pick a bully and force out teleports because towers are made of a teenagers self esteem now.

No toplaner is gonna build item 3158 because they need item 3047 with all these AD flying around or item 3111 because of CC.

The best bet is the mastery and boot upgrade to lower it, but then you cant build Homeguards.

hmm I can see that actually. Good point as he is very flash reliant on his engages. But the new lucidity is geared more towards supports than actual damage soakers or traditional bruisers.

Chill, towers will be fixed for sure, and the minion change will last a month at best if it even comes, the other changes like ionian boots new passive and insight being on the defensive tree on the other hand will most likely not change since no one will bitch about it.

pretty sure alot of them don't stack. I got the cd boots and the mastery and only the 15% mastery one lowered my cd (was at 255)

I tried it before posting obviously and it did stack for me, dunno if yours was bugged or something.

there's definitely something weird going on... i went into a custom with the mastery and rushed the boots and it was 191s then i bought another cdr item for regular abilities and then my summoner abilities had longer CD again (it went up to 217 and at one other point went up to 285 for some reason). ill post a youtube video of it later when i have time

Riot spaghetti code has usual, and 40% cdr on 300s should be 180 which is also wrong right now, hope they fix it.

Same happened to me, made a post about it but only got one reply that theorized that the summoner cooldown is capped at 15%.
