I still do not know why Ghost was nerfed...
Meanwhile flash is a necessity. Having to wait for the speed to ramp us feels so bad, and you can't even channel it before tp anymore. Makes Udyr and Singed even worse.

it was nerfed because mid laners were taking it and made it impossible to gank them. So instead of making it so that you have to CHOOSE between taking flash/ghost riot just nerfed it because mid laners were abusing it
Flash needs to be deleted. I'm really sick of free mobility being an expectation in this game. Ghost is infinitely more healthy being used as a way to escape a gank -- you can actually react to a loud noise signaling the character is about to run more quickly. Flash is just LOL INSTANTLY DEFUSED THAT SITUATION COMPLETELY IGNORING MY WEAKNESS AS AN IMMOBILE CHAMPION, or LOL JUST JUMPED ON YOU FROM NOWHERE DESPITE MY DESIGN NOT INCLUDING THAT CAPABILITY ON ITS OWN. If characters are being designed with Flash being an expected part of their kit, then that's severely limiting the designers, a completely unnecessary and oppressive thing to hang over every design element's head. It's such an incredibly overpowered summoner spell that it fucks with everything else in the game and is just generally unfun.
Oh, but since it makes our esports more "epic", they're going to keep it, no matter how obviously broken it is. FUCK you, Riot. FUCK YOU.
it was nerfed because mid laners like 
or 
used it to quickly start kiting with stormraiders surge activated
will forever be a necessity. Idk if that is good or bad to be honest.
It was run more often in midlane than toplane, and more often in mid than other secondary summoner spells (non-flash summoner spells).
Because you had to gank mid three times to even have a shot at a kill much of the time. Once to blow ghost, once more for flash, and a third time when their spells were down. Meanwhile you're unable to do literally nothing for any other lane if you want to snowball mid.
