New item idea

I've got thought about item for top laners

Name Blessing of the Hermes

Recipe: Serrated dirk - 1100 Gold Pickaxe - 875 gold +225 Gold =2200 Gold Total

Stats +10 Lethality +45 Attack Damage Unique Active: Your next Teleport cast time will be reduced by 50% and will grant you 10% total movement speed decaying over 1.5 seconds after teleporting Unique Passive: Your 1st attack after casting Teleport will deal bonus damage equal to 10% target's current health as bonus physical damage (will count even if teleport will be cancelled, however it's ready to use only when teleport is ready)

Waiting for this to be redirected to M&G.

But in seriousness, Riot isn't going to make an item that requires a certain summoner spell (smite is unique because of laners historically abusing jungle items).

Edit:cough Ezreal cough

This item can bring champions like Kha, Akali, Rengar and other assassins possibility to be viable top pick instead of rotating only tanks / off-tanks on this lane depending on patch. I mean we have a lot of champions but there are no items to make them viable picks in non default lanes and Rito should focus on that to make us truly able to play in our own way :)

The item you presented would

require the champion to have tp
still be meh (the passive would probably just result in intentional tp cancels for more trading power)
would probably be abused by champions who are already decent in the top lane ( roam potential much?)

I don't disagree that there could be an item that helps assassins in the top lane, but don't make it built around tp, the wrong champs would abuse it and it probably wouldn't even fulfill its intended purpose.

Teleport is in meta for top, so what's the problem? It always was and always will be as top is long lane far from bot and you need some mobility.
300 second cooldown combined with losing mobility only to deal some additional damage? This is how this game should be - you have to risk to gain, toxic situation is that when you play Caitlyn you can safely farm and push enemy with like 0 risk - insane range, escape and lane control + wards from support = free farm lane. How about Jhin? Sick burst, lane control, god range (you risk nothing with your ult) Jayce? Long range poke and finisher. LeBlanc? One shot all, no risk due to unbalanced blinks. And more examples in current meta - you risk noting, and potentially lose nothing.
I don't think that Irelia could make use from that - she depends on items like Trinity or BOTRK, she's not scaling well with flat AD (no1 goes for Duskblade, Ghostblade), also shes not insta killer so spending 2,2k gold to deal bonus 10% of current hp wouldn't be smart.
