What if you could only take one? Most people might still opt for flash (and immobile champs certainly could) but you'd be losing something for it. Now, you're having to choose between utility/re-positioning and combat power.
And yes, I realize this would turn the entire jungle upside down. Obviously, something would have to be done about it, but I find it a valuable thought experiment for laners.
Chaos6891 votesBut what would you DO about smite? If you could take smite along with any other spell, everybody would take it, and if you had to be jungler, lane trades wouldn't work.
ModKnightsKemplar1 votesYou could make smite a jungle item active. How's that for an idea off the cuff? I rather like it.
MagicFlyingLlama1 votesFlash would be the only spell used by anyone except junglers, 90% of junglers would become unplayable.
ModKnightsKemplar1 votesSee, that's what I'm not sure about. I think that exhaust and heal might be better for adc/support, and I imagine some people would still take ignite.
Either way, I think it would be easier to balance, tbh. I might be wrong, but if you had to give more up for flash, I think fewer people would take it.
