TP changes proposal
Alright I know most people will not agree with me, but I personally believe that TP is by far the strongest summoner spell for champs who are viable with it. Pretty much everyone takes flash so no one really has a massive advantage (if everyone is a superhero, then no one is a superhero). TP though, not everyone is great with it. So why is it so strong? Its ability to make up for someone’s mistakes. I main top lane and this happens all too often. Lets say I have TP and the other laner doesn’t. We have a lvl3 skirmish and I get down to 10% HP and the enemy down to 30%. He should win lane now if we disregard jg pressure (even with it, it really won’t make a difference). However, I base and TP back. I miss almost nothing and now he’s stuck in lane with 30% HP and having to play safe even though he won the trade. I now have full control of the lane and if I play it right I can deny him gold, xp, or even get a kill. My mistake won me my lane unintentionally. If I play it smart I can grow this lead and snowball out of control. The worst part is that even if he did manage to kill me lvl3 I could easily TP back and still only miss minimal gold and xp. I will also be teleporting back to a low hp laner whom I can punish. Even if he got first blood, he still loses long term due to me now being in control of the lane and denying him creeps and xp. By the time he catches up I will have TP and even if he does get a good trade on me or I die I essentially go unpunished again due to being able to TP back into lane. That’s why TP is so strong. Not even considering map plays with it since that’s more of team strategy/macro plays. This happens a lot in top lane when I or the enemy takes tp and the other doesn’t. It’s an extremely suppressive summoner spell and IMO by far the strongest spell in LOL. I know a lot of people won’t agree with me, but I legitimately think RIOT should look into this. I propose that cutting tp by a minute CD, but having it start off on CD will help balance it. I frankly think it’s bs how one can get fb then not be able to punish their opponent for their mistake and then even fall behind/lose lane all due to a summoner spell. Really think about that. I see this happen a lot like I’m sure most top laners do, but most people ignore it since it’s just part of the game.
