What's the point of Hextech Flashtraption? Does anyone even use it? I never see it used.

It definitely has uses, although mainly it's flashing over a wall to ambush. It's just why get this when i can get literally anything else. Really the only thing with less uses is the minion dematerializer. No one has ever said "Gosh, this minion sure is tough". Now if minion dematerializer let you delete a mob of creeps, then we'd be in business.

I tried it once and found it clunky. When I worked with it a bit I still don't quite get how it's useful. I support a lot and saw a conversation about the enemy top lane garen using it but I don't recall it being wildly successful.

I use it on annie so i can still get that satisfying ass flash-tibburs off through a wall.

ideally the flashtraption is best used when you are in no danger from the enemy team, if you burn your flash during the fight and later need to flash again maybe to steal dragon or something then that's where flashtraption would shine, as for in combat effectiveness its very low unless used as an engage rather than a disengage

I bet Riot just didn't want to break the game by making it a must pick. Imagine if it made flash have a lower cooldown. Even a 20% flash CDR would be brutal. Good job Rito, you'd rather have one rune be weak than Break The World Itself. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

It's made just for my boy

I use it all the time when jungling, sometimes I hate having flash up cuz then I have to take the long route while ganking or put my dash on cd. So yeah, it's very convenient to have. Or sometimes blast cones aren't up and so on.

It has its uses but they are niche are best, so in most cases you end up just wondering "why even bother when I can use and get more mileage out of anything else?"
