Played With A Top Who Didn't Teleport Once The Entire Game

Not sure if he didn't know how to use it, or what the excuse was. lol but wtf even?

He didn't TP to his tower after he died early, didn't TP into any fights (tons of places he could have), he simply never teleported anywhere in the entire 35 minute match. Boggles my mind that something like this could happen. He didn't seem to be trolling, and he was actually doing pretty well... so why wouldn't he ever use his teleport? There were a few times where his Teleport probably could have won us fights or even the game.

He had level 7 on 2 champs and 6 on another so I know he wasn't new. >_<

Which game was that?

Teleparalysis. He was so scared that he would need it in the future that he never wanted to waste it.

I've done that on several occasions myself.

If I manage to control the lane properly, I can often recall and return to lane without missing more than two minions. In that situation, I'm better off holding teleport for a potential gank or to heal after a bad trade/gank.

If I'm splitpushing when a teamfight breaks out, it will often be more useful to kill their objectives rather than join the fight. In many cases, my allies can simply disengage and stall if the enemy team misallocates their resources.

Even when I recalled late-game, my team would often just be farming the jungle or side-lanes, so there would be no immediate objectives I needed to teleport for.

While it isn't often, there are some games where you just don't find the need to use teleport.

It is highly unlikely though. Like just use it to use it.
