User blog comment:Lykrast/A suggestion about Flash/@comment-6003864-20130709133808

You've found the symptom, not the problem. New players and players without much strategy gravitate to flash because it's simply so easy to use. But it's not the be-all end-all. It never was and never will be. ADCs take it to have an escape, as do supports, and junglers will occasionally take it for a flash-engage. Same with mid. But top will rarely take flash if they're playing correctly, and junglers will often take ignite or exhaust instead. What you're really seeing is just soloqueuers wanting to play in their comfort zone. That's what flash lets them do. It's not the spell's fault. It's just the users.
