User blog comment:Mineko Charat Lucky/I propose that Flash should really be reworked/@comment-6486964-20130809222708/@comment-5331854-20130810235554

Well, Tobar gave me an interesting thought about Flash after he mentions Blink Dagger... It's more a case of "steal and adapt", though.

Flash unusable while in combat.

This way, the initiation factor of Flash is still there (as it should be), Champs with gap-closers still have an edge in battle without having an additional jump (or escape if the gap-closer needs a target, so champs like Xin Zhao needs to think before engaging), Flash gets a skillcap and getting ganked because of not caring for Map Control is now something that really hurts and may lead to using wards like they should (because warding is everyones job). And Flash's CD may actually get buffed because cheap escapes are a no-go.
