Patch Rundown 5.21 – End of the Season ft. Xpecial

I love seeing the Patch Rundowns.. so awesome!

Some thoughts: The Jayce pick at Worlds wasn't used to its potential in that game. It wasn't used properly in team fights to land poke nor was the TP on Jayce used. So it isn't a good example in the context of talking about champions being demonstrably not meta because it wasn't executed properly.

The discussion about TP is interesting. I think having an early objective top side is a great idea. But I don't think it really addresses Xpecial's point about why players take TP (which is to have an extra member at any potential fight). And changing cooldowns may give a larger window, but it also fails to address the point Xpecial made. Regardless of cooldowns and regardless of objectives that may be given up when TPing, teams are going with TP to have the extra members present at important fights - not unimportant ones. The usefulness of combat summoners are mostly in winning lane. And even if you make these changes, it doesn't significantly alter the value of winning lane. Does it? But unless you bring Garrison to Summoner's Rift and give it the ability to interrupt teleports, your options of balancing Teleport do seem somewhat limited.
