Shaco and shyvana are the only two i can think of who usually don't take flash. This summoner is a must have on basically every champion and is reallly stifling to the meta. Same thing for TP on top laners

So...Flash is the Thresh of summoner spells.

And currently too ingrained and too necessary to be nerfed or removed.

Taking it out will currently screw up immobile characters absurdly hard and would require a lot of buffs that'd turn a lot of them into basically all-ins since they get caught out, they will have NO escape. It's a bad idea to think of taking Flash.

Flash was too good an idea.

Still never going away now. It would take a huge rebalance to remove flash.

I know. Just shows that Riot has always had a problem in making options equal. Even before CertainlyT

7 or 8 isn't plenty. There's pretty much no excuse not to take flash on the majority of the roster

Hecarim does it too on occasion. But there's no real problem with it. If Flash were, let's say, made a default spell on everyone, then another one would take its place as a staple spell.

You can also not run Flash on about any Jungler since its main use is to get out of deadly early ganks. Late game it's more for very limited plays that could have just been done easier if you had picked a champion with a dash.

Ekko can very effectively skip on flash.

Jungle wukong without ghost is actually not as good.

LeBlanc does extremely well with Teleport/Ignite. Flash makes flashier plays but if you carefully use your W/R it is extremely rare that you actually need it. Taking teleport gives her nearly unlimited mobility, anywhere. In many games that can literally be a game changer.

This summoner is a must have on basically every champion and is reallly stifling to the meta.

Which is why it CANNOT be nerfed or removed. Immobile champions would be screwed with out it (and the only way to make it not so is basically reworking ALL of them into champions that can deal with being dived upon.)

I don't bother with Flash most of the time & still manage to win a majority of the time without Flash anyway. You need certain spells/items for certain reasons, for example, you need a Haunting Guise (or Morellonomicon) to deal with ridiculous Regeneration-Rate Healers, you need Mercury's Treads against a High-CC Team, you need Banshee's Veil against Diana-players, and you need Flash if you take risks that could put you into a pinch that requires that type of escape.

I, personally, rarely take such a risk, and therefore, I have not found many occasions where Flash was that much of a game-changing spell to obtain a win. I do take Flash if I go ADC but that is usually the only Role where I will bother to take it as a Summoner-Spell. I am split half-and-half between Flash/Teleport if I'm using Galio depending on the enemy team-composition.

Here is another funny thing, when people complain about me not taking Flash-spell, they often perform worst on my team, yeah, dogmatism over-powered.

They can all take ghost, or exhaust/ignite for some of them, over flash and be just as successful in just as many situations. Yeah in many cases people still prefer flash on all of them, but that doesn't change the fact that they can all effectively use a summoner other then flash.
