Someone in his game brought TP and smite on shyvana...
"This," he said, making a circle with his cursor "... this ISN'T supposed to happen" He was taking smite and giving up flash JUST to get this item. When you can give up flash just to get an item that is that strong, i think there's an issue with the item.

Don't enforce the meta please. It's perfectly okay when people pick something other than flash.

Robin Song Robin1 votesShyvana probably built red-smite with the cinderhulk enchant. That's very worth trading flash for if you're playing shyvana, especially because it lets her take the Gromp smite bonus. Flash does very little for her after laning phase.

Flandre from Snake took smite/tp Shyvanna vs Gamtee a few days ago. He was an absolute terror. It was a fun game to watch overall.
Top laner takes Ignite/Teleport, everyone thinks it's cool. Top laner takes Smite/Teleport everyone loses their minds!
Fadedpf1 votesThat is one of very few instances though. Not everyone uses the cheesy smite when not in jungle.
IcyPepper1 votesConsidering flash's pick rate, I'd say the problem lies with flash and how it's necessary for everyone.
Guy wants to sacrifice it for an item that's powerful? Strategic diversity. Also you can just build 
to counter cinderhulk...
