An idea for balancing the summoner spell "Teleport".

HIT ME LA ON9··4 votes·717 views

Hello riot , I am a LOL player in Taiwan server. And my English is not good at all, but I hope you can read it clearly.

Problem:

summoner 12 Teleport is a common summoner spell in the game, wherever in the game competition , the normal game or the ranking game, it is because of its high practicability and applicability. Moreover, the top lane players using "teleport" is a must , but nowadays , we can see that even the mid lane players, they always use the "teleport" too. This phenomenon cause a serious problem for significantly reducing the combination of summoner spell also it makes the bottom lane to become a 4 vs 4 battle field, the support and AD carry can't grow normally in the game.

Recommend:

In order to balance the summoner spell, we should aim at the problem of why the summoner spell is unbalance. The high practicability and applicability are the main factor to cause the problem, therefore reducing the CD of "teleport" can not help to balance the game. In my point of view, we should limiting that the "teleport" can only teleport to the tower at the begining of the game, to prevent forming a battle field in bottom lane at the beginning of the game. After a period of time, the "teleport" can teleprot to the minions or other things.

summoner 12 is balanced. It needs no changes. How is "TP is popular therefore its OP" a valid argument without it applying to summoner 4 as well

As i say that, summoner 12 is unbalance in its multi function. TP is popular it will make the combination of summoner spell to become single. But flash can not be substituted ,it is because it is a way to show the players' mechanics.

Without flash the balance of champions becomes skewed. Gap closer champions become kings, and wall champions like Annivia, Azir and Jarvan become God tiers.

and again, how does this not apply to summoner 4? Flash can be used offensively and defensively. It can be used to wall hop, juke skill shots, reposition in fights, engage, disengage, secure kills, gap closer, escape ganks, etc.

summoner 4 is waaaaayyyyyyy more multi function than summoner 12

Teleport is balanced because it doesn't bring any combat effectiveness. Meaning it doesn't save an ally by healing them or it doesn't grant your self a shield and any other number of things that the other summonres do. Yes, TP can grant you a fight advantage in the number of people in a fight, but once you get there, if your enemy didn't bring teleport and you are evenly manned, they will have a summoner advantage in having an exhaust or heal or barrier or whatever they chose to take to lane.

Then why have any other summoner spells? why not give everyone TP and Flash? and just stop the whole "Summoner spells" mechanic.

it is really annoying that every game each side has 2+ teleports because one good teleport gank and you win the game.I believe that they should go back to the beta idea of all spells be a part of an item. This way there is some price to pay for the given ability. But when they "balance" teleport they will probably hit the channel time and make is so any damage stop the channel. That way you have to plan way ahead to make it really work.

Valid point, it seems slightly confusing though, to have a specific thing unlock on a summoner spell imo. More then changing Teleport, I'd like it if Riot could somehow change the meta to a point where the bottom half of the map isn't as incredibly important.

I think they should give TP a casting range. that would help balance it out a bit I think.
