Honestly i have played this game for 3 years and 90% of the time i WILL use flash to initiate, i very rarely flash out of a fight, however, i sometimes must use it when ganked but what else could i do.

If you are attacking someone, they fight back then the use a spell of their own as an escape (e.g Ezreal, corki, graves, nautilus, huge list of others), because they were attacking you it gives them a huge advantage because you cannot flash after them and it makes flash even worse for you.
