I disagree. If it takes you more then 10 seconds to use the teleporter or to use the position you gained from the teleporter then your timing was way off or it was not worth doing in the first place.
This is a problem with your timing. Not with teleporter not lasting long enough.
Especially considering that if it lasted the full ten seconds you literally only have 2 seconds to wait.
Which means your timing is very poor. If the two seconds is the difference for your survival now think of what the difference of 15 will be when it goes live.
Right now if you deploy the teleporter it INSTANTLY goes on cooldown and starts counting. Meaning that if it is not destroyed you have only a 2-3 seconds of vulnerability.
However, if it is destroyed you still have generally speaking at least less then 9-10 seconds for the next.
With the new infinite teleporter your cooldown goes into limbo. Meaning that if it is destroyed you are stuck behind enemy lines longer. For at least 15-17 seconds.
If it isnt destroyed? Okay? You saved two seconds in one niche scenario by sacrificing efficiency in two other locations by at least a total of 19-20 seconds.
I would rather keep the 20 seconds and sacrifice that miniscule 2 second window .
The patch makes it so that enemy slows and friendly slows are counted separately. Then whichever is highest is what is applied.
For instance. Rein applies a slow to himself while holding his barrier up. Currently if he walks into three sym turrets his slow stacks with hers. Making him stop entirely.
However, with the new patch it looks at his slow and then the 60% slow from the turrets and removes his own slow from the effect. Makig the 60% apply alone.
It does not prevent stacking of multiple enemy slows. It prevents stacking of friendly slows with enemy slows.
It’s used in top ranks as well. Steevo and Hoshi (2 GM+ Sym mains) telebomb quite often, but it’s combined with a charged up orb, teleporting themselves, and generally alongside their ult, all in quick succession of each other.
It’s not just a “noob strat”, it’s something practiced on ladder even at the highest ranks.
