Why are adcs running teleport

EnigmaticMachine··2 votes·960 views

I have been getting more and more adcs running teleport without a yuumi and I think I know why. Adcs have the dumbest community/class/role next to mages. No wonder they run stupid shit and think they will get away with it.

Because teleport is good [sg-lux-2]

Because TP is simply a good spell. Walking to lane takes 30 seconds for my Ori support and some of the slower marksmen... so being able to shop and return to the lane in ~10 seconds (depending on how much HP/MP you need to regenerate) instead of 36 lets you trade a much smaller CS/XP/Kill advantage for the items you need for the next part of laning phase. And if your ultra poke enemy duo (Caitlin/Xerath) pokes you out of lane well you only give up 18 seconds of free farm rather than 44.

If the enemy has reliable hard engage then it's a bad idea to take it over a combat summoner spell but if they don't then it's usually useful.

You don't realize it, but this kind of hurts the rest of your post. Honestly just letting you know because I doubt anyone else will.

Lemme be the one to say the truth: The LCS does it so now people are doing it.

Is it smart?

  1. No, because most bot laners playing this game don't have the macro sense to use teleport for roams properly.

  2. No, because the enemy will have heal/ignite and that means you've just lost lane for no reason. Congratulations.

  3. No, because even if we wanted to spearhead the idea and force it to work, anyway, people are banning out Yuumi so you can't even weasel your way out of the weakness described by the second point.

The result is, unless your jungler loves the way you smell and the way you walk down the street enough to dedicate his time and calories on you, you lose lane and pretend you're a big brain player by teleporting back to the slaughterhouse, where you'll die again. The only time I've won with a tp lane partner this season is when I was Yuumi...which happened once total. That spell's cd is huge and it's a poor choice in a lane where people are stacking heal/ignite in an environment where people play way more aggressive when junglers AREN'T around than pros do.

Because it let's them get more farm?

If there isn't much risk of dying, then tp is way better.

This is solo queue, not organized 5v5's. There's always a good risk of dying when every support under the sun takes Ignite.

Teleport is good on everyone. The only time it's really reasonable to say someone shouldn't take tp is on a champ who gets around easy with something in their kit, like Shen.

Heal is still better

because letting your enemy laner get turret gold is a bad idea?
