Unpopular Opinion: Teleport Should be Removed from the Game

Teleport is far too strong. It offers so much. It offers a good early back with no repricutions on when you back. This meaning that unlike a player with a combat summoner you don't need to worry about wave management or when you have to back since you will be back in lane in under 15 seconds. You also gain an experience advantage due to not having to walk back to lane. You also have global pressure.

Now before everyone starts spewing about all of the nerfs it has recieved just remember that it is still consistently used by most Top laners in organized play, by many Mid laners and by many marksman. Also Teleport was beyond OP before it got nerfed. It rewards a passive player more than it should. I'm not saying I want everyone to take ignite or anything, but Teleport is way too strong for the game IMO.

What are your Unpopular Opinions on balance in the game?

okay im a top main lets talk about it and why tele is used over some other sums.....

Other sums i have seen top are summoner 14 summoner 6

top lane has a different playstyle to it over mid and bot ohh its similar but for the most part you are alone in a long lane with multiple gank paths and being out of position is heavily punished.

you see champs liek darius go flash igniter/ghost because they are going for the lane control and or bully strat which is pretty much lvl1-5 push like crazy and harass enemy off of gold/exp. 6-end of laning phase freeze wave under his own tower to force enemy laner to be further out wiht no escape in the long lane. tops have 2 options here play into the lane and risk having to use all summoners or roam around the map for jungle camp or to make a play.

teleport is the only summoner top laners have to be more involved in the team play aspect of the game by giving up kill potential in the lane. i dont think how it is now is over powered its now made to punish you harshly for not communicating or just being an idiot and teleporting into a lost fight. and the ones who use teleport mostly are those tank tops who are already getting shit on by anything that can dash or abuse conq and vayne. also imagine your a kog vs cait in a 1v1 bot side and you are getting forced to back even when under tower and you have ignite flash. your only options are to greed it out and risk death or lose out on the exp little by little as well as gold slowly falling further behind. thats what it feels like in top most of the games you play you either play for the kill of you play for the team there really isnt a middle ground to it as a tank top. and im a cho main i love playing tanks and i love being more team oriented over just killing in lane
