they would be able to counter assassins at mid lane. They can't do that because they would sacrifice Flash, which has a effect that is mandatory, especially if the mage in question is immobile.
There are very few champions who don't need to use Flash. Generally, those champions have in-built low cooldown escapes, or they make better use of
