Do you think part of the reason they nerfed the global ults because of this new game mode coming out? You'd have to believe that champions that can teleport to where ever on a map would be super strong for a game mode that involves capturing and holding points.

yes

of course or tf could just go max cooldown and teleport everywhere. Capping/Cancelling points. As with panth.

maybe but they needed to restrict it anyways.

Since when did pantheon snowball well....other champions snowballed much better and offered more in a team fight. I have played against panths that went sword of occult and got like almost max stats from feeds, but come around to team fights, we just shut him down. Of course panth was godly b4 they nerfed his heartseeker, but we are talking about the current panth

But yes, the global tele needed a nerf for the betterment of overall gameplay.
Although it is fun to use trist's ult to knock a tf into my team at baron cuz he thinks he can ult behind wall and snipe it =]
