I watched the Patch Rundown it was suggested that there could be a reason not to teleport to bot lane. I was thinking they could put a new monster inside the baron pit that gives substantial buffs. He could be inside the pit just using it for a temporary place to stay, then when the baron shows up he could eat him for being in his pit then he takes his place in the pit for the rest of the game. How does this sound?
Ah riot, Answering the problem of TP in the most interesting way possible.
This would certainly make other top lane options available, as they will no longer have to TP for objective control.
But all and all, it doesn't change how useful TP is later in the game. So it would be difficult for it to change the total need for at least one TP on your team.
My question is, how is the rift Herald going to compare to an early dragon? It should be more powerful overtly, as Dragon needs time to stack. And how is that going to affect lane assignment? Are we going to end up with the Australian set up, (duo in the top lane, solo on bot) all because of the rift Herald? It will also add a new dynamic to lane swaps.
