Teleport Fix: Teleport cannot be used for first 5 minutes of the game

TP has gotten out of hand in the opinion of many forum-goers as well as professional players. Myself, I have mained toplane since before season 1 and have never enjoyed it when TP is in meta for toplane.

One of the current abuse cases for Teleport is for a top laner to take a jungle camp or two, then use the money to buy lots of potions in conjunction with a doran item and teleport to the lane. Doing this grants an XP/level advantage (despite missing waves of minions in lane) and a huge stat advantage over the other top laner who picks ignite instead for instance.

Not only is this a balance concern but it is also directly counter to the concept of doran items in general, which are meant to sacrifice build paths and sustain (in the case of blade/ring) for early game strength. Teleport cheese at the start of game allows the player to have his cake and eat it too.

The healthy aspect of TP for the game is the ability to strategically react to team needs and make plays. This should not be removed.

But the ability to cheese the start of game with TP has got to go.

Jungling and Teleporting to lane isn't the main problem Teleport has, please don't try to pass it off as such.

Reason why this is bad idea because if your team needs help before the first 5 mins, your team is fucked. Bad idea imo

This is stupid. Heaven forbid people want to play a 5v5 SR as 5v5 instead of everyone scattered around doing their own thing. This is literally like the 10th "OMG TP IS OP NERF PLEASE QQQQQQQQ" thread today.

Can you explain to me how TP is suddenly OP only now because it's popular? Can you explain why its all of a sudden an issue when summoner 4 summoner 4 summoner 4 summoner 4 is taken on 95% of people regardless of lane, role, matchup, etc?
