I say they should make flash core. We're going to take it anyhow, so....

Dual flash on ez leads to easier fb. they really dont like ez anymore, do they? All those nerfs

As an Akali player I think of flash as a useful tool to make plays with. Ult them under tower for the kill and flash out to escape tower damage.

One example of the effect of Flash being removed: All Annie players would turn into Anniebot trying to kill their opponent in mid. "Annie just dinged 6, Pyromania is at 4 stacks, and she's walking toward me. Yep I'd better walk the other way." *Annie countered*

Hehe she'd only kill people with help from a gank or them being really careless.

A CD increase won't really stop people from using flash all the time. IMHO, it should be core, like recall, and the CD should be reduced. It just makes so many things possible than you can't nerf it without destroying it.

Besides, if people are too passive because flash is down, increasing the CD will only make that worse because it'll be down longer.

personally i would rather take exhaust and teleport every game but tele has a terribly long cooldown, and exhaust doesnt help me in mid lane much, so flash is just the best option
its not that flash is so strong, its that everything else is either useless (promote/surge/calrity) or that i have to take flash against certain champs (leblanc/ahri)
if they want to see more variety in SS, stop nerfing flash and start buffing the other ones
i think adding barrier should help a little, but i think now were gonna see half the team wwith flash/ignite and the rest with flash/barrier
