Can we agree that tp-homeguards is complete bullshit?

Now I know what you might be thinking. "No way man! #LCSBigPlays". Yeah, I also enjoy seeing the horse on god-mode running down the entire team and slaughtering them. But there is a reason there's nothing else that gives that sort of movement speed boost outside the base. It's what we like to call "unbalanced".

When they were released, homeguards had a very specific intention- to guard the home base. It was a matter of getting to where you need to be to protect your structures. It's obvious that the intent was never to give champions absurd sustained movement speed during a teamfight. I think it's funny how nit-picky riot is when balancing champions and items, and yet they have allowed this shit to continue for so long.

Oh well. I guess #LCSBigPlays.

"Bonus movement speed and regeneration are disabled for 6 seconds upon dealing or taking damage."

Homegard tp is fine. Hecarim is the problem and has to be nerfed.

I hope it gets nerfed so that homeguard effects stop if you TP.

Right now homeguard + TP on hecarim is complete and utter bullshit.

Homeguard in general was a "neat" idea but bad for the game.

It's almost never used for the situation intended - defending base, and almost always used some high-abuse case (Rammus/Hecarim/Ryze being top three).

Well then you have too much faith in Riot's balance team. Just because they haven't addressed the issue does not mean it's not an issue. Forget about their lack of doing anything about it, and just think about the problem itself.

No. IT is slightly horseshit with Hecarim but brilliant elsewhere.

You aren't complaining about teleport-homeguard interaction, you're complaining about Hecarim.

Like, I don't hear people saying 'OMG THIS IS BULLSHIT' when Ramram does it.

Get rid of the homeguard tp interaction with hec, and buff his passive up a ton.

Tp-homeguards is slightly balanced in the sense that summoner 12 has a cooldown of 5 minutes without masteries or distortion, (but if you take that the you don't have homeguards), which means you can't spam it too much. I agree that it is ridiculous on certain champs such as Hecarim and Rammus but it is not over-bearing.
