Triple Teleport/And the bias that is bronze league!

creatureplex··2 votes·590 views

Triple teleport is bullshit it's as simple as that, the pressure on an opposing team really makes games very one sided, to the point where you can be winning in every way but triple teleport could more than just change a game, we won most of our team fights. We kill dragons, we even took the first 3 towers in each lane before they took one and had a dragon winning 20-6 and they still came back due to the constant pressure from the teleports, making it harder and harder to push lanes even after gaining a huge victory. Slowly but surely the game started to swing as heimerdinger would teleport in behind us, vayne would teleport bot, morgana would teleport top, and suddenly what was our advantage starts turning into theirs obviously we had the better team or at least the better team composition or we wouldn't of been decimating them as badly. But when triple teleports come in in bronze league it's like fucking nuts because games are either really long or really fucking short depending on which team has the teleports. Imagine an Aurelion Sol Shen and Pantheon grabbing teleports, then you might start understanding how this game is going to play out. Riot needs to make it where either only 2 people can grab it per team or simply let us know that that's a strategy that's coming in so we can adjust and at least either a grab equal amounts or at least 2 of us grab teleport. Have a little indicator don't have to let us know who has what spells just a number but only if 3 shows up or more, that way we can decide how to handle that. That way a team can't win just because they decided to grab three teleports. A game should not be decided because of that, it's just really unfair and it's no fun to play against.

I don't agree with Riot giving away important strategic information like that before the game even starts. It's an important thing to be able to work with your team and plan out a game strategy in champ select. Yet, this only works effectively when your team strat is unknown to the enemy.

Yes, it's unfortunate you lost. I can understand the frustration of losing to "cheese" tactics...but I also have to congratulate the other team. They are playing the game how any competitive game is played: finding a way to win the game that is within the rules. This is the part that I love about LoL. We all get to choose how we play the game. We can be adventurous and creative in forming different builds. We can take champs in uncommon roles. Sure it may be annoying at times (Tank Yasuo, recently), yet we adapt.

Moving forward, we can use this game as a learning experience, and, maybe with enough time, you may look back and laugh at how ridiculous the game was. I remember games with my friends, in which we played double top with no jungle. It didn't always work out how we wanted, but it was fun. We felt thrilled at being uncommon and causing all kinds of confusion. Now we look back and share a laugh recollecting all those duo top games. All the mistakes and opportunities. The good and bad plays. That's just one part of League, playing it on your own terms.

Like I said it be only letting the other team know hey 3 teleports are elected so that the team can respond accordingly I don't know if you loss to this tactic but in bronze it sucks it's ello hell and brings a whole new meaning we have to deal with smurfs pre-made trolls flamers and then to have a winning streak end even though you were on fire and on your way out to have face this strategy knowing whole heartily that you would of won the game otherwise since you had a better team comp and synergy was better grabbing triple teleport really puts another emphasise and imagine nobody on your team has teleport and they have 3 talk about making it impossible to really push objectives when you can easily get a good play off and somebody teleports in by you or someone else or possibly behind said jungler in a ward further up it really starts turn things around if people knew that this was a possible strategy we be able to deal with it more.

Plus me personally I don't like winning from a cheese tactic I don't want to be part of a team that runs that strategy it's kind of cheese and a victory means less and I almost feel like I'm cheating for even going along with it. Casual players on the other hand don't care about the game in general it's all about fun which is good it's game but when guys like me play rank we want to win and if we lose so be it gg, but when we lose to that it just feels really shitty and easily can put people on tilt and make them play horribly and communication in bronze is almost not existent, unfortunately to carry a team doesn't mean getting the most kills but making plays for your team to follow up on is a good way to carry people out of a game. Triple teleport really ruins it for a lot of players and I'm not the only one that thinks that like I said imagine Aurelion Sol, Shen, and Pantheon and they all grab teleport now that's one very lop sided 1 sided game that would be no fun at all as most likely we would get our ass whooped not because of those 3 champions specifically but with teleport on that now they don't get punished for making a play, and you can't counter their movement due to afterwards it's fine just port back.

I'm just curious now. How many of your games has a 3-man teleport been played? It's a cheese play, but it can't be all that common.

Out of 5 games in bronze league I'm seeing it happen 3 out of 5 games mostly in rank sometimes even more often depending on the day.

So I checked the match history of your games, and found some things that may clear it up.

First, expect the top laner and select mid laners to take teleport. There are some mid laners (diana, ryze, vel'koz) that normally take teleport. So right there I would expect two teleports in the game.

Second, when you get a third teleport in the game, it's on a player that almost always takes teleport. The Sona teleport, looking at her match history, has taken teleport every ranked game outside of jungling.

This is more of a random chance event than a developing meta that you're experiencing. Three teleports is not currently a norm at any level, and I don't see much chance of it catching on globally given teleport's last nerf.

No offense dude but that nerf to teleport didn't do anything to fix the issue with it, it's not about the ganks that's whatever it's the complete denial of pushing. Ntm a lot of people don't ever really read the patch notes a lot of people in bronze so they're still taking it almost every game, that Sona for example. And it was still one player, in rank I see it a lot almost every game has double teleport and a good 50% of matches are triple teleport games.

EnjoytheSilence91 votes

Is it 50% of your matches?

I went from Bronze 3 this season to Silver 5 and have yet to see a triple teleport team. And even then, double teleport on a team is uncommon.

and even if i was exaggerating a bit a coincidence would be more like 1 out of maybe 40 games seeing that shit but keep in mind this is bronze league the coordination is way off on how to actually deal with it.

EnjoytheSilence91 votes

But...but then wouldn't the coordination to pull it off be bad too?

You know what i don't give a fuck it's a piece of shit game and my ass will never get out of bronze anyways

What?... if you're attempting drake, you should first know where they are and if you really want it, expect some lane(s) pressure from your opponent if they're not near u to contest it. wouldn't you do the same? plus they mightve avoided any fights due to your buffs after that. I've seen it and it's a bitch to play against but it just means we have to adapt. Oh, they're pushing bot with 4 people? Let's steal their top jg and/or push top or mid at the same time. Or take baron. You're basically trading objectives, if you can't defend the current one. but what do i know, as a bronzie.

AND since this is so very legal and you call it op, do the same and take 3 tp per game and see if your winning recipe actually works every time. I'm curious. Because if it does, rest assured it will become the norm like the current formation we now take for granted, 1 top, 1 jg, 1 mid, 1 supp and 1 adc.

Well that is the issue Triple teleport is starting to become a thing in fact so much so that pro teams are actually discussing the possibility of going entire team teleport to see how that works if it starts working riot made be faced with the issue that teleport and flash start becoming the only viable spells to use which would suck and put junglers at a very bad disadvantage as they can't capitalize off a strong push when 2 people can port in and save a tower and still keep their other positions on compromise.

What teams are discussing this tactic? I watch house videos and a lot of information that teams release. I haven't seen anything about this from NA, EU, or LCK. (Links would help)
