Taking teleport as a jungle.
Oh the responses and all the drama it creates. Every time you lose a game they blame it on that one spell. Quite hilarious how childish and ignorant people can be.

It limits your ganking/invading as well as making you much more vulnerable to being invaded. In such a damage saturated meta it is pretty greedy to take teleport over flash unless you have super dominant lanes and even then you are limiting how much you can protect them from ganks.
Teleport is a very situational Summoner Spell for junglers.
The only champions who can really use it are those who:
- Can sacrifice the mobility provided by Flash/Ghost
- Plan to splitpush throughout the game
I've occasionally taken it on Shyvana in the past (when no-one else had teleport and the enemy had a dedicated splitpusher) but there are better options in most situations.
As an Aurelion Sol Main, I dont like taking Flash at all, but I HAVE to with this champ. When I play riven, I also HAVE to take it for flash one shot combos. When I'm playing something like elise, or vi, or something else that isnt crucial on, I dont like to take it cause I have a strong belief that flash trains people by nature that its ok to overextend when its up. By not taking it on certain champs, I train myself more and more to not over extend, keep track of my enemy jungler so I know when to be aggressive, and to really treasure the advantage that flash gives. Not taking it makes you think when a good situation to use it has come and when not to use it.
I cant tell you how many times I hold my flash now and just walk out alive from the jg gank. Low HP but I still have my flash. I cant begin to explain how flash is wasted, even in streamers in high elo waste it horribly.
This is the whole reason some people in Korea will actually justify dying sometimes just so they dont waste flash. I recommend playing without it for a long time and train yourself the proper use of flash.
TBH if you plan on split pushing, and never grouping, then you should take teleport... makes the job a lot easier, and people dont necessarily understand the concept of early//midgame//lategame pressure... they just think "hey, come group with us"
Are you only playing as 
?
