Flash as an active effect on boots
Hi everyone, I was thinking about some potential changes for League and I think I came up with a fairly interesting one. What if Flash was removed as a summoner spell and put as an active effect on all boots? Now I know something like that would be a HUGE shift to the meta, so it's not something I think should be implemented right now, but I think it would be interesting for a future update. Maybe in a couple patches, next season, a couple seasons down the road, etc.
Now let me explain my reasoning:
- Both boots and flash are something that almost everyone takes in every game
- Junglers would have the freedom to be able to take another summoner spell. Think about it, junglers being able to exhaust would make for some much more deadly ganks, but people would have the freedom to pick up cleanse or barrier to help better counteract this.
- Putting such an important ability as an item active would better help both newer and lower skill level players better remember item actives. I remember when I was first learning to play remembering my item actives was always much harder then remembering my summoner spells. And as someone who has taught 3 or 4 friends how to play, I think I can safely say I'm not the only one who has had trouble with that.
I would love to get some other opinions on this, so please tell me what you guys think about this. Do you agree, disagree? Do you think this would be too drastic of a change?
