Flash shouldn't be a summoner spell.

It's too powerful to be considered one. 95% of the champions already take it by default, while a few others rather have Ghost (Singed, Hecarim)

That means, despite Riot telling you you have access to 2 summoner spells, you don't.

You usually have access to 1 summoner spell + flash.

The thing is, Flash is so deep within the roots of the League in its current state that removing it would simply break the game.


In my most honest opinion, Flash should be accessible to everyone by default.

And then allow people to choose 2 summoner spells.

This way we would see way more variety in champion picks. One of the things that keeps Shyvana from being viable is her lack of stickiness to targets.

Good thing you would be able to bring Exhaust to the table to make up for it.

"But what keeps Shyvana from bringing Exhaust to the game atm?"

If you go lane, you need Teleport. Otherwise you become a nonfactor for most of the game.

Unless you want to make it a Kill lane, in which you bring Ignite, not Exhaust.

If you go jungle, you obviously need Smite.

Not bringing flash is out of question, unless you replace it with Ghost ofc, but that only happens when the enemy team has 0 innate escapes.


Opinions pls

"this way we would see more variety in champion picks" how? why? you say that would make shyvana viable, but wouldn't exhaust be even more powerful on a lee sin or a zed? and shyvana comes in and out of style every once in a while while i don't see how any combination of summoners would make veigar or mordekaiser suddenly start being playable in high level games without a very specific setup that supports their vulnerabilities (especially when zed and lee sin can now run exhaust with their other summoners and lock these champions down incredibly hard)

plus you're talking about how you have to make meaningful choices right now about which summoner's to bring, and you pretty much want another summoner slot so you don't have to make decisions anymore and bring anything you want furthermore, a lot of people actually DO suggest taking exhaust over flash or ghost on hecarim and even shyvana because their ult + ms boost already makes it incredibly easy to get into a fight, so maybe you should stop thinking "i have to take flash because everyone takes flash"

Meaningful choices right now?

What we see right now is

Top - TP Flash Jungle - Smite Flash Mid - Ignite/Flash (or Exhaust if you are against Zed) ADC - Heal Flash Support - Ignite Flash

The only difference is Top Hecarim who bring TP Ignite.

Is that what you call a meaningful choice?

Flash being run 95% of the time is a meaningful choice?

Have you tried to play a game anywhere above Platinum without Flash on a champion like Twisted Fate?

Who am I kidding, ofc you have not.

It's too late to get rid of flash completely, all champs would have to be buffed or nerfed around it being gone. There is some stuff you need to flash from like stuns, snare, and other aoe.
