"Surge is actually better than ignite for certain champs."

The only thing surge was really good for was damaging a tower when you had very little time to do so.

Ignite's strength wasn't its sheer damage, but it's utility.? It gave a champ a true damage nuke that killed any attempts at healing.? This allowed them to get a definitive final hit on an enemy if they tried to flash away and pop an hp pot.

Surge looked cool and felt cool, but it simply couldn't compare to Ignite's utility and it was hard for new players to grasp this.? Riot created a lot of bad tools that were extremely enticing to newer or less experienced players, I'll be glad when Riot gets rid of a lot of them in S3.
