I love Flash! But...

It shouldn't be a staple. It should either be nerfed, or the other spells should be buffed, so it's not always Flash + [other spell of choice], at this point, and it has always been since as long as I remember playing League, Flash's position is similar to Homeguard's when boots enchantment were still a thing: everybody will take it no matter what.

What's the point of giving us 2 "customizable" spell slots if one of them is gonna be taken with Flash 99% of the time? Me and probably many other people would love if there were more viable ways to pick our spells.

Any changes to it would completely change the meta. Some champions need it in order to be relevant ( KogMaw would be garbage tier without summoner 4 to get away from risky situations)

it would also affect how ganking works

"my laner's flash is down" roughly translates to "come gank me for a free kill"

Never thought of it like that, but that's so true. Every junglers wet dream would come true lol

That's why I camp lanes when people don't bring Flash. "That's a nice lack of escape you have, it would be a shame if I made a tent."

Its free reposition/dodge. It's not going anywhere.

I know, and I'm not saying "turn flash into hot garbage", I'm saying put it on the same level as other spells, or put other spells on the same level as flash...

Flash will be a universal abilitie for all...then at least we could choose 2 spells.

If I remember correctly, the game started with 1 sum spell slot, then they added a 2nd so other spells could be used lol.

"nerf" there's that unfun word again.

The only thing I think they should do is remove the toxic no counterplay flash+CCcombo in the game. And they can EASILY do this by adding a very small polymorph effect after using flash. I'm thinking between 0.25-0.5 of a second. That alone would be the game healthier and adding counter play to some extent. Call it exhaustion or whatever. You just instantly teleported your body a short distance and you need to recover.
