User blog comment:Mineko Charat Lucky/I propose that Flash should really be reworked/@comment-5877442-20130811210121

So basically you're nerfing all slippery champs and buffing all escapeless champs so they have an escape. dattttttttttttt ideaaaaaaaaaaaaa. The whole point of a champ with a gapcloser is so they can use it. To escape, catch up etc. Your item will basically put everyone on a MORE level ground (obv not completely level at all), negating any escape weaknesses a champ may have. You're basically telling Shaco, Jarvan, Fizz etc to not have Flash, while for Udyr it's a must have. Brilliant use of diversifying item and boot builds and champ balancing.

The idea of just putting flash onto a boot is ok, but then everyone takes Ghost and everyone will just buy it. Even more so since it's cd is reduced. Also, you're telling everyone to buy this asap as you need it most to escape from early ganks, which again, dominates item choices.

My comment on the Flash page is true. Even if Flash is on a 10 min cd, the majority of people will still take it and it's be just as highly valued if it were on a 5 sec cd. This is one of the rare cases where you have to buff every other summoner, instead of nerfing the main problem causer. Either that, or you have to remove it and doom every escapeless champ in the game.
