Am I the Only One Annoyed by TP Mid Laners?

Almost every Mid laner is taking TP now after Mid laners have used it many times over in pro plays including during Worlds. Now TP Mid is a thing and rarely ever do I see Ignite. Last time I checked solo queue wasn't SKT vs KOO at Worlds.

Seriously, don't take TP if you're going to just use it once a game to teleport back to lane after you died. That's NOT what pro players use it for, if you're going to take TP at least consider:

  • Using it to gank lanes
  • Using it to help push out lanes with other laners
  • Using it to splitpush by yourself
  • Using it to arrive at a teamfight faster
  • USE IT MORE THAN ONCE A GAME

Yeah, take summoner 14 win lane. Meanwhile they never even use their TP, except to come back after you kill them....then you just kill them again*[slayer-pantheon-thumbs]*

I played against 4 teleports yesterday. Like what the frig, man. Teleport wasn't buffed, or changed in any meaningful way. The sheep mentality is sooo strong. Funnily enough, not one gank bot lane while I was winning hard. Just "tele back to lane"

Nah, in my country there is also a lot of people doing it only cause they saw koreans doing it.

I always took TP when I went mid and top. I prefer utility over damage and people hate it if I grab clairvoyance.

Bothers me too tbh, partly because now it's being nerfed for top laners as well.

When I mid, I almost always take ignite (always i ranked, since I almost exclusively play Cho mid and can get fed as fuck). I only really take teleport if I feel I'm playing a champion without a whole lot of early kill pressure (so Veigar or Karthus, mostly).
