Flash is OP

I know most people are not going to agree and will hate on me for this post, mostly because this is league and flash is what you do. But in most games if a majority of the community is using the same thing it is because it is OP...well id say about 80-90% of people use flash. I have played other moba's that have a flash like spell but in none of them is it used anywhere near as much as it is in lol. Personally id take that as a sign that is OP. In my opinion this takes away from the diversity of play. Basically everyone gets to choose one summoner spell and flash, instead of picking two spells.

I pray for others who see this but I am now prepared for the hate.

There's too many waddler champions who would be easy prey without Flash. Major portions of the game's balance leans on Flash's presence.

It's generally accepted by the community that flash is OP, but the game has been designed around it for a long time. It would be a giant rebalancing across ALL champions except Lee Sin if they wanted to remove it.

Im not suggesting it be removed but nerfed to be balanced with the rest of the spells. Honestly just a increase in cool down may do the trick. The fact that its just accepted makes me sad because I would love to see some summoner spell diversity...especially with how they keep killing off the others like fortify, damn I miss that one.

Nasus Shaco Hecarim Sejuani They say Hi. They also say they don't need Flash.

I wish they removed ignite as well. There are instances where ignite does more damage than a champions ultimate like around level 8. As for flash though, it would be cool if they gave ghost a huge buff or cooldown reduction that way people choose whether to have a 5 minute flash or a 2 minute ghost that makes you move really fast.

Flash is taken by 95.2% of summoners. FYI.

I'd like to see a nerf to the range of flash. imo a quick repositioning shouldn't put you so far away.

i like alot of these comments. and the ideas..didnt realize it was 95.2% tho thats insane, that should be a massive redflag that its OP. and for balancing maybe giving ghost the added effect of reducing slows could help get it back into the fray more often.
