Ummm....are you serious? For a second, I thought you were trolling. Have you watched pros play? The LCS? OR have you played ranked at all? Flash is so useful! Bruisers flash onto ADCs so they can't do damage and be harder to kite, Supports can flash to get that perfect ult or utility spell off. ADCs can flash to reposition so they won't be insta-gibbed.

Also, the fact that you play mostly bot games gives you no credibility in most good players' eyes.

Flash adds a lot of complexity to the game but has a high CD. It's more complex because you have to think: If I gank, will he be able to escape with flash? IF he does escape, is the flash being burnt worth it? Your suggestions (especially your first) is horrible. I don't want to be playing ADC and get screwed because Lux hit everyone on my team with a random E. Also removing flash would really unbalance the game and disengage would be OP. (thinking of Janna, Nami, Lulu, even NUNU). Play some ranked games and you'll probably change your mind.

About it being picked very often, that's because instant reposition (and surprise) is good. But just because it's good doesn't mean it has to be changed. One, it has a really long CD. Two ADCs with red buff or Frozen Mallet will still probably kill you. Three, it has a really short range. Four, I'll just smartcast flash in your 1st scenario...

Finally, sometimes I'll take tele over flash as shen. Cleanse over flash as Yi, Trynd, Warwick. And ghost over flash as udyr, Voli, or Yi. You don't HAVE to pick flash.
