When I go top lane, I always get teleport. For one thing, I like being able to help out my teammates, without feeling stuck on an island. I also like having it for splitting. However, any time I go against an opponent with ignite, I'm bound to lose. It seems a lot of people who go top get ignite because they cannot finish off their opponent without it; so, then, they get ahead, and I fall behind, and it's a disaster....
ValyrianBlade4 votesPlay it passive, and call for jungler ganks.
Literally, the first thing I see said in any diamond level match when the enemy top laner has ignite is: "____ has ignite not tp, gank me a lead and I snowball forever." (or something similar).
With ignite, they'll want early kills. So they'll clear waves faster because they want to be able to harass you more and all-in you, so they'll be more susceptible to ganks. More importantly though, they won't have map pressure / objective control. When your team wants to take dragon, you can tp bottom and gank with the jungler 4v2, secure the double kill and rotate dragon - the ignite top laner is probably just going to take your tower. Come late game, there's no threat of a back door inhibitor/nexus without them having teleport. You can also make nice plays, like split pushing bottom while your team sets up Baron (if they send 2+ to get you bottom, team takes Baron while you die. If they send 4+ to Baron, you can either push an inhibitor or tele Baron to help).
Basically, teleport is a better mid/late game summoner spell and ignite is better early. So if you don't let them take the early lead, you have an advantage. In this case, you don't need to win lane, you just need not to lose it.
CharQueen2 votesWhen the enemy has ignite, it is a good idea to play it safe. As with any lane, play it safe.
If you want to put the enemy at a disadvantage due to high domination or harrass ( say your enemy is Zed ) get Blitz to grab Gromp and have him take care of your own minions early game. You won't have to worry about your tower since destroying one is near impossible early game when everything does 30 damage.
AetherKingdom1 votesuse the freelo teleport to die, tele back to lane, and be a higher level than your lane opponent. balanced.

FalconPawwwwnch1 votesAbuse the fact that you have tp and they don't
Force trades with them that aren't all ins since you can just tp back and shove the wave in if they go back, they miss like a level of XP if you do it during a cannon wave, and if they don't go back then you have full health/mana and they don't
