give flash a combat timer?

flash right now is a mandatory summoner spell on every champion in the game, maybe singed excluded. flash is a spell that can only be countered by having flash yourself. THAT fact tells us that flash is toxic. a mechanic is not balanced because both people can have it. a mechanic would be balanced if its a viable option AMONG MANY OTHER VIABLE OPTIONS. your mindset shouldn't be "i need flash and smite if im jungling, flash and heal if im adc, flash and ignite if im middle" ect.

My proposal is that flash should have a combat timer. this means that you cannot use flash for 2 to 3 seconds, depending on how it balances out, if you've taken damage from enemy champions. this means people like galio, ali, amumu, morgana and any other initiator will still be able to get right into the middle of the enemy team to do their business as usual BUT this will promote smarter game play and actually help out good junglers because it wont be a "get out of jail free" card for anyone how is playing lazily and not thinking about positioning or has no map awareness.

so what are your opinions on this?

Let's see what this would lead into.

Twitch shot you, you no longer have flash;

The GD will be full of this again (nvm it's full of it already):

"PLS NERF AKALI" "PLS NERF FREELO [INSERT ANY ASSASSIN'S NAME HERE IN CAPS OR MAKE A PUN WITH IT]" "ASSASSINS OP NO COUNTERPLAY PLS NERF!"

This leads into Every assassin getting gutted again

2 years later League of Legends will be renamed into "Marksman Wars"

You can't make flash a non combat spell unless you rebalance the entire game. Every champion that can easily escape over a wall needs to be gated by any terrain otherwise the game will be incredibly unbalanced. FYI there are 20 or more champs i can think that run without flash
