TP is dead in solo que but alive and well in the LCS

I don't know the math or have any hard numbers about why you should or should not take TP in solo que, but I do know that the amount of TP I've seen even on top laners has tanked in favor of ignite. On the other hand I watch the LCS playoffs and there was at least one game where 5/10 players ran TP. Several more where at least 3-4/10 ran it. So how effective exactly was the nerf? Because the pros still like it, but its nearly dead in solo que. Guess that makes TP the new Ryze.

Solo queue is a less patient individual game. Ignite makes sense because it helps you secure early kills and win lane. TP is generally used only to return to lane.

Pro play is a slower more measured game, the CD nerf to TP doesn't affect them as much. They use it to collapse on objectives and team fights.
