Summoner Spells

i always pick Heal, because its very usefull, when you are about to die in a 1v1 fight, and you can help you teammates by healing them, in several situations ;)

i always pick Flash because, when i want to engage (gang) i can just flash through the wall, and Flash is perfect for survival ;)

When jungling
