With a game that has a large number of players like League of Legends, sometimes we are constrained by creativity and play the game according to a certain standard. Just like using summoner spells, most top lane players use Flash + Teleport, mid lane uses Flash + Ignite, and the same goes for other positions. We use them so much that it becomes a hard habit to break, so if something new comes along, even if it’s stronger, it tends to be overlooked.
In a tweet opposing Riot Games’ plan to buff the Speed Spell, streamer Voyboy argued that it was unnecessary because this spell is already very powerful and he uses it in every game. We can’t help but be surprised, could it be that Flash or Teleport for top players like Voyboy is not as strong as the Speed Spell? And the answer from him is indeed that Teleport appears weaker than the Speed Spell.
For fighter and tank champions in the top lane, effectively engaging in combat is quite a challenging problem. The reason is that not every champion has the ability to quickly engage in fights and only soaking damage for teammates doesn’t solve the problem. Therefore, some gamers who understand the game, like Voyboy above, have sacrificed a little lane control with Teleport to use the Speed Spell for better engagement in fights.
One thing that few people notice is that the rune Cloud Cloak will immediately give you additional movement speed and the ability to move through terrain for 2.5 seconds. Meanwhile, the Speed Spell will increase movement speed after using the spell at two different times, combining these two elements will allow you to continuously increase your movement speed instead of having to wait too long or having too short a duration if used separately.
At that point, you will have a fighter champion with a lot of crowd control and damage attacking towards the opponent. When you run faster than the enemy, they will not have enough time to defend before you get to them. It allows you to disable an enemy team’s carry without using too many resources… In summary, the Speed Spell will significantly enhance the combat capability, mobility, and continuous fighting of fighter champions.
So which champions are suitable for this summoner spell? The answer is almost all top lane champions as long as they need high movement speed to comfortably choose their position in combat. If we have to list some typical names, Jax, Tryndamere, Nasus, or even Maokai can also use this summoner spell effectively.
