Is Meta will changes after Teleport changes in League of Legends?

Teleport on the way to get massive Nerf with upcoming patch 8.14, and that meaning the Meta is about to change in a big way, according to the latest PBE update.

Everyone takes Teleport. No matter what bot laner you lock in, or if you’ve decided to take Riven or a tank to the top lane, you better love Teleport or you’re not going to have fun in the current Meta.

The coming Nerf is quite a heavy-handed one, raising the Summoner Spell’s cool down by one whole minute from 300 seconds to 360 seconds. On top of that, cancelling it early will no longer refund part of the cool down? It seems a bit extreme to raise the cool down by an entire minute on top of gutting the cool down reduction when canceled, so we wouldn’t be surprised if Riot decided to revert or dampen the impact of this Nerf before it goes live in about two weeks.

We do actually believe that a Teleport Nerf needs to happen. There shouldn’t ever be an instance where one Summoner Spell runs the show in multiple roles. We already have to deal with Flash doing just that, and if we had two of them, there wouldn’t really be a point in having more than two Summoner Spells to begin with.

For instance, many of the few remaining marksmen in the Meta rely on Teleport to return to lane fast enough to compete with early game bullies in the bot lane. Essentially knocking Teleport out of the running means that they might be hurt even more than they have already been. And then there’s also the possibility that champions who excel without Teleport will take over the Meta in the top lane—high damage fighters, bruisers, and assassins who can run Ignite.

This change should arrive with upcoming patch 8.14 on Wednesday, July 18, but if make through the PBE.
