Things to counter flash:

If they don't flash over a wall, a ghost or any other movement speed buff will get them.

If they flash over a wall, there are certain gap closers, dashes, and blinks you can use. Or you can be a blitz and pull them back.

CC. When they are hard CC'd, they can't flash.

DoT = if they are low, they will still die.

If we did your changes, bruisers and assasins with gap closers will dominate the game.

Flash is used a last-resort escape. It's fine.
