So we are basically back to mid laners running teleport again

Can we change this so that there's actually disincentives to taking it in any lane other than top? Yes, in top lane we need it for global presence but we also need it because top lane is such a violent series of match-ups that teleport is our saving grace in bad match-ups that at the very least prevents us from being starved in experience so we can actually be somewhat functional.

I am so damn tired of other roles and lanes ruining everything for top laners. We actually depend on these items and spells and while we understand there are clear abuse cases here and they need to be adjusted, can we adjust them so that they're not just a fucking nerf to us for no reason?

Split pushers want teleport late game for global pressure. Early game weak champions want it to survive lane. Early game bullies want it to bully lane indefinitely and the potential for global presence becomes a bonus and a nice fall back plan. But for us a botched teleport to another lane is fucking huge while a mid laner couldn't care less. That tells you that we actually need the spell for more than just global pressure.

So what do I propose? Take away it's global effect to level 13 and make each level scale it's range. Make it's range complete dog shit until levels 11+ so that the spell becomes more useful for laning and having that he it's primary function as opposed to a glorified Shen ult minus the cockblockage. I realize this hurts top laners global presence early and that sucks but for the love of god, at this rate mid laners are going to get the fucking spell deleted.
