A Flash Free Season Three!

[quote=GrandmasterD][quote=Temzilla] [quote=GrandmasterD][[Flash]] will actually have a negative effect then, similar to Quicksilver. [/quote] Do you not get that having an item as flash is entirely more toxic than flash itself? [/quote] Explain.[/quote]

[quote=Pølsemanden]The flash nerf argument is as bad as a ward nerf. More agressive play ohmagerd. If i didn't have flash i would never ever go past the middle of my lane if the enemy had anything that could even remotely gank, unless i had an escape spell. you would probably invalidate half the current mid laners.[/quote]

[quote=Psychofrench]I use Flash/Teleport in every games unless I'm playing Singed. I do not understand how it pushes people to make bad plays/bad decisions, it actually helps playing more aggressively if you ask me. Just thinking about my last couple games last night, I can think of numerous instances where flash helped people get kills, win teamfights or escape certain death. And damn, are those failed flash hilarious :D I believe bad players will quickly run out of flash or use it stupidly, the CD is high enough that I will use it parsimoniously...Especially if facing a Jarvan IV with an active ulti (Ask the Hecarim I faced last night who jumped me under the turret and died in my arena). Yes, it's almost like a get-out-jail free card, but it is widely accepted as part of the game. I think that once people understand that a ward and teleport can create amazing ganks, that spell will also get it's own thread.[/quote]

[quote=GrandmasterD]@Psychofrench: [[Flash]] repositions your champion. If you're in a bad position; it moves you to a good position but actually you shouldn't have been in that bad position in the first place.[/quote]

[quote=Psychofrench]Unless I chose to be in a bad position because I know I have flash, it then becomes a strategical move (Dive turret, flash out of turret range after kill). I don't believe it is a necessary spell, I have played before using different ones, I'd actually change Flash before I get rid of teleport.[/quote]

[quote=SirAeros]While I agree Falsh is Hella Broken Removing would be basically turning every champ without Gap Closers pratically Unviable Its like removing Blink Dagger on DoTa it would kill a lot of the roster thats are Balanced towards it(lets face there are champions who you NEEED Flah) Second if you wanna go to a Flash-free Enviroment just go on a Dominion Tournament[/quote]

I ward more now that I do not use flash anymore and I just outplay the enemy jungler.[/quote]

[quote=Psychofrench]To GMD's point, I agree that a lot of people should really stop relying on Flash to make up for their shitty plays and maybe it would lead to people warding more consistently (Which I myself started doing). But flash has so much more utility than that. I do believe it all evens out, shitty player will Flash stupidly, good players will use flash smartly in conjuncture with their champions' abilities, using it doesn't make you a noob.[/quote]

[quote=throatslasher]5 bucks says you run ghost in 100% of your games. If you really want to impress me, hit platinum while running neither ghost nor flash. Going exhaust-smite junglers every game doesn't count :p[/quote]
