combat timer on flash

EDIT: Because my first statement was too confusing i wanted to clarify. I want, ideally, to have flash to have a combat timer, it cannot be used for 3 seconds after taking damage from an enemy champion, in addition to having a normal timer.

I was wondering if putting flash on a short cool down when you're hit by an enemy champion would fix flash. I would like to quickly state that just because everyone can use flash doesn't mean that its balanced. The fact that in a typical game there are 9 or more people with flash as a summoner spell is an indication that it is broken.

Now if flash did have a combat timer than it wouldn't kill it as an initiation spell or a safety spell. It would only kill it as a "get out of jail free" spell for those people who have poor placement or awareness.

Please, I would like to have a conversation with you all not just people saying, "So stupid. Flash is fine f***ing scrub" or something along those lines.

I understand where you are coming from, but I think that flash is such a vital part of the game that it really could not be changed in this way. It is just so core. If this change were to happen then a lot of champs who need that "get of jail free" would simply be unplayable, and everyone would need to pick mobile champs or just get abused.

Velkoz for example. How are you suppose to survive a Jarvan gank knockup without a flash.

Also from a gameplay standpoint, this is not really possible. If you think about it, the timer means initiations can be stopped by autos. Imagine your annie and you wanna flash Tibbers the other team. The LB on the other team can see it coming so she double distorts, and your engage is kaput

One summoner spell out of all the ones we have shouldn't be the bases for balancing the whole game

Without having read any of the comments or the original post, I am sharing my opinion.

The recharging time for Flashsummoner 4 should be reduced.

Not sure of the last time I was so concise with my reply to a subject discussion post. From: FuryofThornsRedo

Sure, I wouldn't mind... since you could never use summoner 4 when I get to play my main. (Cassiopeia )
