To this day people still don't know teleing to a turret reduces its cd by 60

And they also don't know that you can cancel a teleport...

Cancelling a teleport puts it on cooldown completely, though. You are much better off thinking carefully about whether or not you want to TP as opposed to regretting it and putting a summoner on CD for no reason.

No, if you cancel Teleport, it still get's a reduced cooldown. The full cooldown is 300 seconds, and the canceled cooldown is only 200 seconds, which is less then even teleporting to a tower

By the sound of that, sometimes it's probably to take the 200 cooldown instead of teleporting into a bad situation, big plays or not.

yeah, the point is to give some reward to playing smart and not diving into a 1v5 like a crazy person

I've saved allies by starting teleport, scaring enemies off, then canceling it once my ally is safe.

Well over 3 miniutes of not being able to teleport is too hefty a price just in order to disuede an opponent from walking somewhere for 3 seconds.

you can literally save the lives of your bot laners by doing this

is your tele cooldown really that important to you?

You CAN save their lives if you're lucky. Yes, the tele cooldown is extremely important to me. Now I have no map presence for 3+ minutes, I am vulnerable to my lane opponent pushing to tower while I'm away, setting me behind in farm, and their team is more likely to get a dragon early game since they know it'll be a 4 v 5 if they set up properly.

I'd say well over 50% of the time, bot lane doesn't back off a kill until the teleport completely finishes anyway.

I hate it when people teleport simply to farm, not even to save a turret, not to clear one of those legendary 30 minion waves, but simply to farm. There's so much more you can do like backdooring, flanking, saving your own turrets from falling, or just flat out ganking another lane like most top laners should do but prefer to AFK farm.
