TP Needs a Change

Frosted Tips··1 votes·986 views

First and foremost most TP is not healthy in it's current state. TP needs to be changed so that it can not be used in the early game. Now before you start flaming me let me explain a few situations.

Situation 1 - You take a combat summoner and they take TP and you get the kill. a. You get maybe 3 minions pushed into the tower for a lose of exp. Now you can stay with an exp lead or you have to back and they end up pushing in a whole wave or freezing the wave and you are down 3 or more minions in exp, or you stay and they have an item advantage and are full health and mana. So lose lose.

Situation 2 - You take a combat summoner and they take TP and you both survive. Now you didn't get the 3 minion exp lead and they are full health and mana and have item advantage, or you back too and they shove an entire wave into your tower and get an exp lead, or they save TO and you guys are even, but they can join their team.

Situation 3 - You take a combat summoner and they take TP and you die. Pretty much you lose the rest of the game to them.

Now TP can stay in the game, but it should not be allowed to be used prior to like 7 minutes atleast.

You do realize almost no-one takes tp any more. The ignite buffs and 6 minute cooldown on tp basically encourage players to take the extra damage over a quick first back.

It is taken by most people top in that are plat and above, and it feels as if you ignored the entire post.

Every one of your situations involves you taking a combat summoner, which the enemy DOES NOT have. You give up the advantage of a quick lane return using TP for the advantage of a combat summoner. That's how it works, you trade one advantage for another.

I feel like you didn't get my point. If you take a combat summoner you are actually weaker in lane and weaker in map movement than if you take TP except before the first back.

Which is the trade off you make. There's no reason for the combat summoner to be better in all ways and stages. Hell, the literal ONLY reason I take teleport is for the quick early back. TP plays later are wonderful, but not as reliable to take it for "Just in case" - Whereas my early back is something I do EVERY game.

The combat is worse in all ways except prior to first back. That is what is wrong.
