A Flash Free Season Three!

[quote=Psychofrench]You could argue that clarity prevents people from managing their mana properly. Most of those summoner spells are there to offer an extra form gameplay, be it an escape or a safety net in term or hp or mana,etc...Instead of nerfing or removing a spell that is a fan favorite, maybe take a look at the ones that you never or barely ever see. Flash doesn't make shitty players better, it's a tool like another that people are free to pick or not to enhance their overall gameplay.[/quote]

[quote=Xeronn][[Flash]] provides an escape for some champions who have no way of doing so. It also has an extremely long cooldown, so it's not like you can spam it. It is however just a very good summoner spell overall, hence the [[Flash]] meta. You can [b]not[/b] take it if you are confident with using something else, or the champion doesn't require the spell to excel. Also... [[Jarvan IV]] :)[/quote]

[/quote] Yes, but the problem at hand is, that it makes the game very "Passive". As a player using flash, you can always "make a mistake" because you have flash. Move a little to far in lane? use flash. Got a little to close to a tower? use flash. Went into a stupid fight? use flash. Sure, the CD is long, but all players still have a "get out of jail free" card. You are never punished for your actions as long as flash is of CD.[/quote]

[quote=Psychofrench]It would make some champions abilities and ultimates more effective as well, like Nunu's. Can't flash out of it? Say goodbye. Can't flash out of Lux's laser? Take it like a man. The cooldown is high enough that you have to think twice at times before using it and people who don't usually pay for it later.[/quote]

[quote=Darcurse]While using the Clarity argument: You do realize that Clarity is used by new players who can't manage their mana well enough, and is dropped the moment they have progressed and moved on? But yeah, such spells do need a rework too. But every rework that lets you pick the new Clarity etc. over the current Flash, is only due to making it fu**ing OP enough to support such behavior.[/quote]

This is a competitive game, and people need to be punished when they make mistakes.[/quote]

[quote=NinjaGinge][quote=Luther3000] You don't understand how removing Flash would gut the meta and radically shift the balance of power on almost every champion. It would fundamentally change the way the game is played forever. Imo Flash makes the game more exciting to watch and allows you to make plays and take risks. Many champions (or even entire roles) rely on it to be viable. It isn't going anywhere. [/quote] This is the part of the Flash argument that I agree with. Flash is a pretty OP spell, but I mean it's something we've all learned to work with and against. Removing it entirely would uproot soooo much, I just don't think people are willing to do it.[/quote]
