Rework flash

Olavman··1 votes·579 views

Seeing statistics confirming what i've been thinking about flash (only 4% does not use it), gave me an idea for gameplay improvement.

Flash being such a strong summoner spell that everybody HAVE to get it every single game is making the game feel a little repetetive and lacking of diversity.

My idea is to remove flash as a summoner spell and rather implement it to the game through an item. This will make the players see alot of different summoner spells more often (like have you ever seen clarity used?).

This item should be an expensive item that grants stats that it usefull to every champion (hp/move speed) so that everyone could get it. This will make players have to sacrifice an inventory slot for one of the strongest abilities in the game!

Having flash should be a choice, not a must.

Couldn't agree more.

Flash was an item in Alpha, and everyone was buying it, it wouldn't change much of anything.

If everyone bought it, it probably were too cheap.

A spell like flash can never be too cheap. If it was on an item that gave 0 stats with flash as its only passive with a cost of 3000 gold, I bet people would still buy it. Flash is just too powerful.

The problems with the early item that had flash was 1: it were an uppgraded type of boots (which made you able to still fill all 6 item slots with usefull items) 2: it costed 1400 gold which is INSANLY low amount for such an ability 3: the flash range was longer at that point in the game, making flash even stronger than it is now

I shudder at the thought.
