Coming to the opinion that (most) summoner spells should be removed.

I am coming to the opinion that most summoner spells should be removed from the game.

Maybe it's just because I don't believe in second chances or relying on a handicap?

I mean I know this post is going to get downvoted to hell, I just wonder how games would without the reliance of some of those spells like ignite or flash would go. Especially now with all the new true damage and healing abilities on assassins, bruisers, and tanks (where heals at least, other than spell vamp/lifesteal, don't belong in my opinion), summoner spells are mostly extra help where help shouldn't be needed.

Idk, not really complaining or angry, just watching some streams and realizing just how shitty it is when, even when its the streamer I'm rooting for, gets to flash over a wall to escape a mistake when it should have cost him for making it to begin with.

Just my opinion.

EDIT: In a game where Ez/leblanc/zed/any dashing champ/etc/etc/etc can effectively cover the distances of two flashes with their ability+flash, I really don't think it would make that much of a difference.. those champions are already going to get away from you even if you have flash.

Maybe if summoner spell cooldowns were globally visible, like how they are for your allies, it would be a little more "fair." I put fair in quotes because it's not the word I'm looking, but for lack of a better word that's what I'm going to use.. Don't judge me for saying "fair.".... but anyway, that way you could strategize around the fact that they have flash, the enemy knows you're potentially paying attention to the flash and has to keep themselves one step ahead as to when the enemy might expect flash to be used and where... And honestly I know that it's not the best alternative either because you can just use scripts, 3rd party timers, or do the math in your head and stay aware of the time to do the same thing..

Still, I know none of this would ever be heeded or considered by those that matter. So. downvoted or not, thank you guys for reading :)

If you remove summoner spells, then it really wouldn't feel like League anymore.

Yeah. It's just stupid that champions like Annie have ultimate dependence on Flash to initiate. The old champions have become so accustomed to Flash that it's just going to be there forever.
