User blog comment:Mineko Charat Lucky/I propose that Flash should really be reworked/@comment-6486964-20130809222708/@comment-5556439-20130810075927

Nerfing it further changes nothing, its still a Blink that you get for free. The only difference is now its CD is longer than its ever been. Im still going to take it, its too good to not take. (much like Yordle Stompers without Flash existing)

Flash isnt broken, its just a instantaneous burst of mobility, which has uses in ALL aspects of the game so by definition it represents the core of "Versatility". Saying Flash is broken because anyone can get great use of it is like saying that HP items are broken for the same reasons. And the comparison between Shadow Blade and Dagger was because for most heroes that use them, its a form of initiation or defense. Same thing goes for Flash and Yordle Stompers.

Face it, there is no way to truly balance Flash for your views to allign with its existence past what you have described here and as we all know, obviously Riot isnt going to do that since they already gave this a chance a while back. Like I said, the only reasonable change to Flash that would make EVERYONE happy while it still being balanced would be to make a point in either the low levels of the defense tree or medium levels in utility for it.

Its pointless to argue for any of this as there are always going to be people who are on one side regardless of what the other believes, they just dont agree with it. Its not their honest views.
