List of Old 3.0 TP Uses Butchered By TP cd Nerf

General Discussion
1

By butchered I mean either made too risky/costly to do or made much more unlikely doable due to the unavailability of the new tp cd mechanic (i.e. stuck in a different area or stuck on cd timer) making you miss many opportunities for those uses.

If other lovers of old 3.0 tp have more, please tell me and I’ll had to the list.

So in no particular order:

  1. can’t escape from threats on demand (mei ult, genji ult, df ult, etc.)
  2. can’t kite close range heroes + moira on demand
  3. can’t engage the enemy when sym sees fit on demand
  4. can’t block auto aiming/lenient aiming enemies like torb turret or moiras with tp on demand
  5. can’t get quick high ground attack angles on demand
  6. can’t use tp to bypass an incoming mei wall on demand
  7. can’t flank on demand
  8. can’t get sneaky angles to charge primary on demand
  9. can’t bypass widow sightlines on demand
  10. can’t switch to having a spawn tp and back to other uses on demand
  11. can’t tp to your backline to peel on demand
  12. can’t combo abilities on demand e.g. dva bomb and tp
  13. can’t turret bomb to get pick or to peel your backline on demand
  14. can’t tp behind enemy to claim new area on demand
  15. can’t use tp to emulate tracer blinks for dueling on demand
  16. can’t fluidly transition between flanking, front lining and back lining on demand
  17. can’t bypass barriers on demand
  18. can’t use tp as a mind game decoy
  19. can’t use tp to scout
  20. can’t tp in and out to bait out ults and abilities

I think she can still do some of these but not as well.
I like the infinite TP but the cooldown is what’s ruining it.

the cooldown makes it so nearly all of those things can’t be done on demand unless the TP is off cooldown.

the cooldown should be reduced, it would help sym and it could compensate for the nerfs she got.

these beam nerfs could potentially stop people picking her most of the time but I hope she still stays good.

it felt good to not get flamed for picking sym but it won’t last long tbh…

exactly why I put in the “on demand” bit in most of them. like the cd just makes it so you can’t use tp that way when you see an opportunity (like an actual valuable opportunity) for them.

That’s exactly what she needed. Like the tp cd nerf just shouldn’t have happened in the first place because old 3.0 tp was actually balanced and in a healthy way too. Sure there were people that had trouble keeping track of tp, but that’s a HUD element UI issue, not an issue to be fixed by balance changes.
