I am never using teleport again

I'm not angry about the changes, but I can't use it anymore. It feels way too clunky now that the warp time is almost 4 seconds, and the worst part is that it now has the same cooldown as Flash. It doesn't feel worth the downtime. I can use ignite to take an early lead in lane, or I can take exhaust to counter the enemy assassin, or something. But I just cannot, and will not, use Teleport anymore

tp was made for top lane in the start then mid started taking it and then some jgs and even i saw some supports. Its like what they did to item 3142 its a mid lane item but then it was being used by adcs so it got nerfed

I don't know, I feel like it's really unfair that the role that wasn't a problem when using it got punished because another role was abusing it. But whatever, right?

This is the problem with riot ;/ They have no idea how to balance properly.

Honestly a big part of it is most Artillery mages like Xerath Ziggs Lux and the like don't have any good reason to take summoner 14 because they should never be in range to cast it in the first place. summoner 7 is pretty meh so it's either summoner 21 or summoner 12 and Barrier is terrible against any Assassin mid like Zed because you'll block one ult, but he'll have it back up before your Barrier is even halfway done.

Then of course we have the likes of Shaco LeeSin Nidalee Sejuani who don't need summoner 4 to get over walls so they can opt to take a Combat or Utility spell, and guess what spell lets them gank Top, back, and then 4-man (or 5-man, if mid took Teleport too) bot and grab the Dragon right after?

Teleport Nerfs are a result of rampant Mobility Creep and Lackluster Alternatives for certain champions.

I'll use it on top lane, but I'm not using it on mid anymore.

I guess I'll just ghost to lane faster. The CD is considerable shorter and I can still use it on top. I guess I'm back to ignite or exhaust on mid, maybe even barrier.

It does honestly feel pretty bad to take into solo queue at it's current state for the mid lane, which is what I assume you're talking about.

The 4 second time does feel awful for top laners, but unless I have a global in top lane, I feel pretty obligated to take it as otherwise we could end up giving up more than I gain by taking an alternative summoner spell.

There was a teleport I made yesterday where if it was the previous channel time I would have pentakilled, instead I took down 3 and died as my team had already died off going into the whole thing. I feel like they expected the shorter channel time.
