"Sorry, this is just not true at all. You can win a match, without flash. I promise." You can win one match, but can you win the other 99 games? Statistics tells you otherwise, you are more likely to lose without flash. Do not use merely one game as your sample size, that's not how statistics work. Go to any LoL forum, tell them not to take Flash on any role, 90% of them will tell you that you are crazy and you should go uninstall the game for even suggesting that stupid idea.

You would have to code this thing to be incredibly sensitive to each and every champions own gapclosing that its just not worth it. Simple coding can solve that, just give each ability a variable "gapcloser", ask yourself 'is this ability a gapcloser?' yes, give true, else false.

There would be almost too many interactions involving it and due to its now FORCED situational behavior, it loses its identity, and just becomes a random item in the store. But you just told me previously every single champion would get it, it's a staple. So which is it, really?

However, the fact that they have gap-closers or gap-creation is far from the reasons why they are banned or used frequently. True, but I already stated previously it's partly the reason why they are commonly picked, not actually have to be their main reason. However, if Kha'Zix never had his refreshabe Leap and Lee Sin has a movespeed steroid instead of a gapcloser, I doubt people will pick them more than others. There are some champions that are picked solely because they are extremely safe and mobile + flash.

Your also forgetting that Season 3 is all about the early towers, Dragons, and massive early game aggression much more-so than the farm-game of Season 2 and the chaos of Pre-season/Season 1.

That is why I didn't say the changes MUST be implemented right here and now, it's already post-season 3, season 4 will be here anytime soon, but this is still an issue. Flash doesn't give options for versatile summoner choices. Ask any player and they will tell you that any ad-carry or ap-carry that picks Ghost over Flash is retarded and they should uninstall the game.
