Theorycraft - Teleportway

[quote=Jebus McAzn]So a friend of mine suggested this idea a while back and I want to know if it could actually work. Essentially you've got a team consisting of: Twisted Fate (DPS) Pantheon (AD) Shen (Tank) Teemo (AP) TBD The core idea of the team is to have three extremely mobile champions that destroy towers and gank extremely quickly. With something like Teamspeak or Ventrilo, the three core players (TF, Shen, and Pantheon) all push one tower simultaneously in mid-game. As the enemy team comes rushing to defend it, TF, Shen, and Pantheon simultaneously use their ultimates, go across the map, and destroy another tower. The three of them all take Teleport and use Teemo's mushrooms as checkpoints across the map. So basically the premise of the team is complete map dominance through mobility and map awareness, combined with the fact that many teams are unable to react in an organized fashion to this tactic. My friend and I both thought that this would be a good idea, so I'm asking the community if there are any notable flaws. I can only think of one at the moment: Lack of strength in team fights. Ideally, the gold you receive from taking out all the towers and pushing repeatedly will have your characters be inherently better during the endgame than theirs are. Still, this team loses outright in a straight up 5v5 against an organized AoE team. That's one reason I'm actually considering Blitzcrank as the last character, to initiate fights by pulling enemies in while also filling the role of a second tank. Thoughts?[/quote]

[quote=Chaotic Bliss]Its a nice thought, and I've been working on something similar. I do think that you should have that last champ be someone that can push turrets solo. If Panth, TF, and Shen are pushing bottom turret, than Teemo and the other can push the top. Thats two turrets a push. And using teleport to shrooms can make it three. One bottom and two on top. What you also have is the ability to Tele-gank. A great strategy in this game. You can easily set up not only shrooms but Wards. These can help the team greatly. Drop them at Buffs and dragon and you can port in for the steal. Teleporting, with great communication, can win you the game due to great map awareness and control. Id like to see how this works out for you and your friend. Please post some vids of this idea. Id love to see it in action[/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]The problem for me right now is getting the people together to do this... T_T So yeah, who do you recommend as a 5th character?[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]i did something like this once, where everyone took a champ with a global ult. we had shen/tf/panth and then another we had was ezreal. a pretty useful champion if you ask me. i think the other person we had was karthus. and you could always take soraka or ashe. those 4 champions are suggested for their global map ultimate. plus ashe is a great pusher.[/quote]

[quote=animorte]Speaking of which, me and a couple friends just did this yesterday. We used Shen, Twisted Fate, Pantheon, Master Yi, and Teemo. The first three obviously because they can teleport anywhere. Some of used teleport on Teemo's shrooms and Master Yi has insane tower dropping abilities. Teemo can as well. Great map control. Not much of a team fighting group though. Definitely avoid team fights. Works very well though as a backdoor team, as long as you have random distractions. :P[/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]Yeah, I was considering Yi just because he's a fantastic tower killer. However, having only one tank worries me. I imagine that what with the gold your team gets from the organized ganks and the tower kills, you'll be so well fed that by late game, you'll be dominating team fights anyway. Soraka isn't a bad idea; she'd get tons of assists off the ganks just by using her ultimate.[/quote]

[quote=Chaotic Bliss]If you want another tank, Why not Rammus? He can have insane movement speed so even though he cant teleport he can move fast as hell. Also a great champ for killing towers. Build him right and he be damn nead impossilbe to kill[/quote]

[quote=B-Wong]I think if you were to pull a team like this off, you'll want to avoid team fights all together and force the enemies to stay back to defend their turrets unless they want to lose em because even if you do have an initiator, you're gonna get stomped. If your mid is getting pushed hard, no worries, get someone on the top and bottom lanes to push a bit over there. Mid heading up top? 3 at mid push harder, top runs away while bot pushes. They heading back mid? Go bot. They going bot? Teleport mid or top. The important thing about this type of team is in general, to keep all lanes pushed all the time, a bad thing to see is a surge of red near your turret on the minimap.[/quote]

[quote=Chaotic Bliss]I have to agree with Wong. If you can keep lanes pushed, they will have to decide what they want to lose. With that kind of lane aggression, assuming you dont over do it and get ganked while your Teleport is on CD, you can easily take advantage of buff farming. That kind of map control is what you would want to strive for too.[/quote]

[quote=animorte]Oh, yes Rammus is awesome for getting to the towers and dropping them. Thank you for reminding me.[/quote]
