Why the heck is it called Teleport? There's no teleporting. It's more like out of phase movement.
Most teleporters (ex. Nightcrawler, Magik…) travel through another dimension while popping from one place to another. In fact, the in-game tooltip for Teleport states that you phase out of this plane of existence. The phased effect is a clever mechanic which allows you to choose direction / destination. To other players, it'll appear as though you’ve simply teleported.
So I guess the real question is: what is Teleportation, if not an out of phase movement persevering…?
It would be dissappearing at point A and appearing at point B. Without a timedelay, no matter the distance.
Not something where you turn on your blacklight/discoball and fly dozen short distances from point A to point B taking about same amount time you do it by activating your 'basic' flight power and...flying there.

The CO engine seems to have issues with instantaneous movement (do you want a loading screen every time you use your travel power?) and it's quite hard to specify where you want to teleport to in 3d.

Worked fine in CoH.
Like rest of the travel powers work. You face where you're going....
But hey, i'm just shooting stars here, it's not like CO engine can do new **** nowadays.

Whip out a transponder and call in your Chopper and speed off down the street.
