I know the question may sound stupid but trust me it’s not. I value flash very highly. So, I tend to hold onto flash for as long as possible. This has cost me lanes and games. When I watch high elo vods they treat flash just like any other ult. I mean in those vods flashes are burnt like it’s nothing big. But that summoner spell has the highest cooldown next to tp. How can they use it without much concern? I sometimes get chances to kill my enemy with flash but refrain from using it aggressively. Sure it may give me the kill but what about the next 5 mins I have to play with flash disadvantage and scared of enemy ganking. Isn’t it better to use flash to escape?(Always)
Any comments will be much appreciated. Thanks for support. Also, I have only played this game for only 1.5 years. So, I am sure your advice will be helpful
The use of flash is indeed important but map awareness and skill can make flash just like any other movement ability. The uses for flash outweigh the reason for not taking it. Need to get away? Flash. Need to reposition an ability? Flash. Need to get that last auto in to ensure their death so you can crash waves? Flash.
There are just so many uses for flash aggressively and creatively that not taking it or only using it defensively just leaves you without kills and skill gaps.
