Do you report top laners that never use their Teleport to join team fights?

Reporting for Unskilled, of course.

Personally, I do. Regardless of its my top laner or the enemy top laner. Currently I have to admit that its one of my biggest pet peeves in this game. A top laner going into a game with Teleport/Flash, but then NEVER uses their teleport to gank or even join team fights. Even when the opposing top laner uses their teleport to do so.

This isn't to be an ass or anything. Seriously, why take a summoner spell as game changing as that then not use it? I report them for unskilled in hopes that I never get bunched together with them again. Even after I ask to use teleport to participate in teamfights, they'll either say nothing and continue trying to CS or start going off the handle with profanities.

You can get reported for stuff like this by the players, but I doubt that you would EVER get a ban for being 'unskilled' in this regard :/

Unskilled is a Placebo report option. It doesn't actually do anything lol.

Granted some people who go top, just take tp so they can go back to lane and keep farming/pushing (I'm guilty of this on some split pushers). But if they are playing a champ like Maokai...that tp can win you a game .-.

If you don't want to get paired with them again that's fine. But it is their summoner spell. If you ping for them to tele bot and they die does that make it your fault? If they tell you to flash for something are you unskilled for not listening? Tele is a powerful spell on a lot of champions and there are definitely game changing plays that can be made with it, or you can tele into the middle of the enemy team and watch your teammates run away instead of joining in the teamfight.

I rarely use my teleport later in the game, but it can be difficult to make use of it in solo-queue, especially in lower ELOs.

Most teleport ganks bot rely on your ADC or support warding the lane bush behind the enemy bot-lane. This will often not happen in solo-queue, even after the support has Sightstone.

Many solo-queue junglers will start dragon fights without any nearby wards (not even a pink ward to make sure no one can see them killing Dragon) and nearby wards depend on your support and mid-laner (and are often non-existant).

Teleporting into teamfights typically relies on there being a ward or minions nearby. Considering how many people don't even bother upgrading their warding trinket or buying wards, it can be difficult to find something to teleport to that's close enough for you to quickly join a fight.

Many people don't know how to play with a split-pusher. I find that many teams will just force a 4v5 in the enemy jungle before I even have a chance to push the minions away from our tower and long before the enemy team has to send someone to deal with me, which pretty much invalidates the practice.

Honestly, at this point I will typically just group with my team after a certain point and use my teleport to go stop an enemy split-pusher as necessary. Unless my team proves they are competent, it's often not worth trusting them to give you a ward to teleport to or to not get caught out prematurely when you try to splitpush.

In one of my first ranked games, i was new to using teleport and it was made harder by the fact that there was no where to teleport to. I adapted to it in game and would teleport somewhere in the general area. say bot lane tower or random ward in the jungle and just walk up like a normal gank from the side. TP is useful but only if your team helps make it useful

do you report adc's who don't use heal to save their support?
