Who named this thing anyway?

In any case, building a rune around an optional summoner spell? The hell were you guys thinking? This is a rune slot taken up by something I'll never be able to use because I don't use Flash. Here are five better concepts you could have put into this slot:

Planar Warp: Every 40 seconds, the next ability that hits you has its effects negated and its damage halved.

Karmic Mirror: When you take more than 30(-Champion Level)% of your maximum health as damage over a 2 second period, deal half that damage back to your attacker and gain Mirror Coat for 3 seconds. This effect has a 30 second cooldown. Mirror Coat: 10% of basic attack damage and 5% of ability damage you sustain is turned back on the attacker.

Prismatic Shield: Your shields and heals apply additional adaptive shielding worth 40(+10 per level) (+0.2 bonus AP) against the last damage type sustained by the target. This effect has a 15 second cooldown.

Second Skin: When you take damage from an enemy ability, a clone sheds off of you and runs in a random direction, persisting for 1.5 seconds. This ability has a 30 second cooldown.

Overburn: Up to five times per game, you can come back immediately after dying. Every time you do so, you gain a stacking penalty of -2% max health.

Hey, fun fact. You aren't the only one who plays league, and thus aren't the only person who uses runes. Just because you don't take flash doesn't mean other people don't, and likewise, just because some of them don't use hexflash doesn't mean other people don't either. I'm all for new ideas, but there's no reason to replace a rune over adding an additional one just because you don't like it.
