I've been playing solo for a while now, and I hate this item.

This item just ruins solo. It just becomes a recall war. Two smart players can just farm all of early game, and there's almost no point in playing aggressively. It is boring, and removes a lot of skill. You can literally return within 5 seconds, without losing a single drop of farm.

Seriously, if you don't have Teleport to Towers/ Shielded Teleport, you are going to lose the solo lane, period. I thought active items weren't supposed to be 100% necessary.

Won't the game be improved if these items didn't exist?

I think the only thing that would balance teleport is if they added a really long cooldown to it. Let's say... 3 minutes. That means that if they choose to teleport, this is the enemies chance to be aggressive and harass them down, as they can't immediately come back. Alternatively, make it an active and only an active (not consumable), so you'll have to give up one of your coveted active slots for it.

However, I think solo laning was in a healthier state when teleports weren't implemented yet.

EDIT: Oh, and your proposition works well as well.

I think I like your idea of a longer cooldown better. I mean, the concept isn't bad, but the fact that you can teleport every 60 seconds is ridiculous. In League, it's five minutes, but they have only one 'rank' of summoner spell anyway. (Maybe 300 seconds/240 seconds/180?)

IMO just return to when it was just for recalling, and a tier 3 that can tp to wards and towers with like a 4 min cd or something.

Removing it would be ******** since this game is filled with a ton of highly mobile and fast waveclearing splitpushers and sometimes you can't rotate fast enough due to having skirmishes on other places on the map. A fast teleport to that turret that is going to be melted down by that Apollo is the only way to deal with it.

An increased cooldown however would indeed by more beneficial since then it get's a more tactical decision rather than having global pressure available all the time. This also allows counterplay for the enemy team to make aggressive plays while teleports are down.

Yeah, the solution is pretty obvious here; increase its CD and everyone's happy. It fits in the game as far as actives go and adds a good amount of tactical decision making, so I'm not a fan of taking it out. 60s CD is silly though, and it's bad how long it's been at 60s. It shouldn't be 4 minutes or anything like that because nothing in this game is like that, but 120 should be enough to make the solo lane laning phase actually matter, as well as giving a bigger reward to baiting out the teleport.

TBH, you can buy them too, so I don't see anything wrong with it. You don't have to have it if you're already outlaning the other guy. Push him into his tower so he loses his gold/exp bonus. Keep him pressed back and getting back into his lane faster isn't going to do **** for him. And if he dies, he still has to wait on the respawn counter anyways.

Personally, I use Shielded Teleport a LOT to carry bad solo queue matches, so I'd rather it not be changed. There's so much you can do with Eye of Providence and Shielded Teleport against bads.

In League it's 5 minutes and even there it's a really good choice. I would crank it up to at least 4 minutes here.

Combat Blink?

And it's still too easy to stall for 2 minutes. Maybe 5/4/3 minutes, or 3.5/3/2.5.

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
