"Tobar is not a hypocrite when he says he likes Flash and dislikes Ignite. The only connection between these spells are their popularity, but for different reasons"

The spells are different, but he's a hypocrite for using arguments in favour of Flash that I could quite easily substitute Ignite into and have them make just as much sense. He rejected them outright as soon as the spell he didn't like was substituted in, while he repeated them ad nauseam in favour of the spell he did like.

Hell, I don't like Ignite myself - I was just playing Devil's Advocate to highlight the flaws in his own arguments. I've got several ideas as to how it could be reworked to make it a slightly less annoying spell. I even said in my first comment that I thought it was another of the worst spells. I don't like Flash either. I think both are spells that tend to reward bad play more than good even if both have a few good usages that reward skilled play. Thus they're the most-picked spells consistently across all levels of play - you even see Flash-Ignite supports for god's sake. I'm consistent in that. Tobar QQs about Ignite as being "the most unfair thing ever that guarantees first blood and there's totally no counter aside from Elixir or Barrier or about 3 champions" (all pretty much literal quotes from him. And he later contradicted himself by saying no summoner spells should be removed, but I digress...) but Flash? No that's the coolest thing ever and there's only one right viewpoint regarding that which is coincidentally the one he espouses.

His arguments were bad and he was personally obnoxious on top of that. I can handle disagreement but either of the first two pushes my buttons before you combine them. So I'm done arguing with him. There's no point when he literally seems incapable of handling the concept of differing opinions and said as much straight out.

So fear not, there's nothing to defuse any more - I'm not going to bother replying to anything else he posts. The metaphor of playing chess with a pigeon springs to mind.
