Just proves that people will do anything for one of their Bloomin ' Onions <| sep |> these new trolls are so fucking boring . flayed , banned , buggered by horse . <| sep |> HBD Yummy ! Jiggle , jiggle <| sep |> Normally people will use their first TP as a way to back then quickly get back into lane without missing too many minions . They do it early so that its up again around the time that junglers are considering setting up for dragon . After that , you should only really TP back to lane if a wave is about to crash into your tower , and you think you won ' t need it to react to a play bot . This is why ideally you should always try to push your lane in before you recall , or whenever your opponent is out of lane . You want the enemy top to be forced to TP back to lane to not miss minions . That gives you TP advantage . Now if a wave is crashing into your top tower , but you see bot getting ganked and you think you can turn it with a TP , it ' s better to TP bot and sacrifice your top lane farm to get a kill or two and pressure bot tower or dragon . Sp yeah , in terms of when to TP to another lane , it ' s usually in reaction to a gank . Because of the channel time , if you do it when the enemy hasn ' t committed to anything they can normally just back off before you can get onto them . If bot lane has a deep ward in the enemy jungle you can TP to it and dive not when the wave is pushed in . Likewise if the enemy top TPs , if you ' re not going to TP either because you don ' t have it up or because you don ' t think you can help , the best thing to do is push the wave in and attack the tower .
