Why not going on top with Exhaust and Ignite. I never used flash, I am one of those rare players that know how to play without using flash to justify my sloppy decisions.

First of all flash has higher cooldown, by the time exhaust and ignite reload flash is still on cooldown.

Flash has been nerfed several times over and over and it is far weaker than it was.

Sometimes it is very hard to cast and you end up crashing in the wall.

Flashing in or out of the battle wont stop a FED enemy carry. Exhaust will hamper their damage output while ignite will drop down their healing to half making lifesteal useless.

There are other great combos, like ghost and ignite, exhaust ghost, teleport exhaust that work very well and I think people should stop being chickens and try some other spells.
