Time Warp is a double-ended speed tool that both saves an ally and catches an enemy, and Chronoshift makes the enemy team's best engage a wasted one.

Protecting a hyper-carry. A Vayne with Chronoshift and a permanent speed buff is functionally impossible to focus down.
Into hard engage supports. Zilean has no stun, no shield and no disengage — a Leona who lands her combo is not slowed out of it.
Not modelled in this number: Summoner's Insight, Wanderer, Meditation, Greed, Biscuiteer, Explorer, Wealth, Pickpocket.
