Strategy 
Edit
Flash can easily be used to escape from or catch up with a foe. It can be used to dodge or land abilities. It can also be used to move over walls, either for a quick escape or in response to an opponent's dash.
Notes Edit
- The cooldown of this spell can be reduced by Summoner's Insight, Mastermind and boots with the Distortion enchantment. When all three are combined, Flash has a cooldown of 188 seconds.
- Flash cannot be activated if the player is affected by hard crowd control.
- Flash and Teleport cannot be cast while silenced. This does not hold true for other summoner spells.
Trivia Edit
- For a time, the inclusion of flash in the game was hotly debated and Riot considered removing Flash from the game entirely, with parts of the community for and against removal. As a result, it has suffered several nerfs.
