Thoughts on Removing Flash from the game?

I find myself thinking what this game would be like without summoner 4 It seems like its so over powered compared to the other spells and it provides a lot of utility and its just an all round solid choice. I dont think there is anything wrong with the spell in general.. i like it .. I just think it would be neat to take it out.

This would add a lot more variation to champions. The current game i am in every single person has flash.. leaving you to only be able to really choose one spell. Sure you can take other spells but you are going to be out of the META.

If Flash was removed it would be just as balanced as it is now because no one would have flash and then you could have more variety in summoner spell combinations which would give the game more depth.

Just a thought i had.. curious what you guys think.

Or everyone gets flash and 2 other summoner spells.

In most games flash is usually an item or just doesnt exist.

For league of legends, flash has a 99% pick rate... because its simply the best choice. If you want more options, flash should be moved into boots and predator should be a passive (minor) keystone.

It wouldn't work. Champions are balanced around Flash's existence. If you removed Flash, immobile champions would become cannon fodder and would be incredibly useless.

You'd have to tone down damage and mobility across the board, then add turn rates like DotA so range isn't stupid strong. We past the point of no return sadly.

What they really SHOULD do is

  1. Replace instant cast with hexaflash and 2) speed up the cast so its not as long as Hexaflash
