1.) Remove flash.
2.) Add this item:
Flashy Boots 1825 gold (Boots of Speed + 1500 gold combine cost) +25 Movement Speed UNIQUE Active: Flash. Instantly blink to target location within a short distance (425 units). 300 second CD.
Lord Dusteon1 votesSo immobile champions are forced into one particular boot choice ASAP so they can survive any form of ganks while mobile champs don't need to spend 1825 gold to get an escape?
BluePolarizer1 votesSure. Learn to position better and deep ward. TP/ignite or TP/smite tops don't have a get out of jail card and now they're meta. Not a single meta TP/ignite or TP/smite top has a non-ultimate dash.
Zmuecat1 votesThis punishes people who play champions without a dash/jump/teleport in their kit moreso than people who play champions with one of those already in their kit.
If Riot wants to alter flash, it would have to be removed entirely, or kept as a summoner and altered as is, otherwise champions like Anivia, Galio, Annie, etc will be faced with having to buy an item just to keep up while everyone will just be just fine.
Short answer: Please no.
BluePolarizer1 votesWhat if the CD on these boots was reduced to 210 then, so it becomes a consistent initiator item for immobile champs that need to blink to the middle of an enemy team to initiate or follow up an initiate (Fiddlesticks, Annie, Galio, Morgana, etc)? That way, it would be up enough such that it can be used as an initiate in late game team fights.
Meanwhile, mobile champs shouldn't be taking these to be even more mobile, as they cost a huge amount of money as an initiator item for no stats.
I made the 1500 combine cost up, it can be adjusted to whatever is appropriate for a no-stats initiator item.
Zmuecat1 votesYou are still forcing an item on people who need an escape or initiate, altering builds. That's not needed, and it's punishing people for not using a champion with a dash, jump, whatever in their kit.
This doesn't fix anything, and I see it worsening the problem for no reason at all, unless you like to see champions that need flash to initiate walk around with crutches.
BluePolarizer1 voteswelcome to league of legends. Some champs don't have tankiness - why should they have to alter their build to be tanky? Some champs are naturally tanky so need damage - why can't I play full tank Tryndamere?
Some champs don't have mobility - oh wait there's nothing you can buy to fix that cuz muh forcing of builds.
AyRe CoNteMpT1 votesi know many people dislike flash and so do i. i actually play without flash alot. tho you have to realize that this game was partially built around flash. if you remove it, you cant just replace it with an expensive item. you would have to rework half the game. so just forget about it, its not a balance problem, its a design problem. you cant fix it.
YOLOswagLYFgg4201 votes2 changes to balance the game:
Remove Annie
Throw a party to celebrate a much more balanced game.
