The aggressor generally has the advantage because they are acting and not reacting, while their prey has to react before they get wombo combo'd. Moreover, ADCs are reliant on multiplicative scaling to be relevant later, and interrupting that to buy Flash 2 gives them a longer period of relative weakness, in addition to chewing up an item slot. | ||

Pretty much this. They would have to ramp up ADC's tremendously to counter the ridiculousness of a bruiser with double flash. | ||

It has to do with scaling. The linear scaling of bruiser's damage/tankiness, means his sacrifice of 1 slot is less detrimental in lategame than it does with an ADC who loses 1 slot. | ||

(he doesn't have an escape so it's actually a mystery to me) as far as I can tell the damage from flack cannon(kinda like twitch ult) is just that good that it's worth the risk | ||

Also, with that item cost, the timing would still be hard for support to get reliably. Unless the item has good AD/AS/Crit scaling with it, it'd be impossible for an ADC to peel off that kind of gap closing. Flash+flash+gap closer = dead ADC. I said in my original post that double flash wouldn't be allowed. Instead the item would just give 10% cdr for Flash if you already had the summoner spell. I only suggested this because there are already examples of summoner spells able to be purchased as items: QSS = better than Clense Ward = mini CV Promote is now only available as an item purchase. | ||

They should be cheap, potent, and purchased primarily for their active. The extra stats are nice, but shouldn't get in the way of a support actually buying the item. The problem with Ohmwrecker, Mikhael's, Shard, and pretty much every support item that isn't Sightstone is that they all involve dumping tons of gold into stats, when supports are best off dumping tons of gold into wards. | ||

The idea was that if you already took flash you would never buy the item. Instead if you took ignite/barrier for the lane phase you could purchase the flash item later in the mid game. | ||

I've seen him played hard carry but not as often as the 2 or the 3. that said even I know the answer to that one, Linkn's(Banchee's) rush + instant Stealth not exactly a brain buster. I think of weaver more like I'd think of Kennen a strong laner with decent but not carry level late game damage, I mean mostly you see MKB and mabye one other damage item on him? (Deso or Radience) | ||
