[Mechanics top lane] Extremely underestimated strat of Using your flash mechanically in an aggressive manner to win lane

Top Lane

Top lane I noticed this flaw I have in comparison to challenger streamers I watch. I'm too stingy with my flash and don't use it often enough to win lane.

I noticed a great improvement when I started using flash in a planned way, aggresively to win lane. For example, when I'm against exhaust users in top: go in for a hard trade/all in, and flash out instantly when opponent uses exhaust.

Against champions with flashable abilities, you can't believe how many lanes I win by just using my flash. Flash morde Q, flash inside darius Q, flash riven Q3, flash out of Darius melee range before he 5 stacks you, flash the Yone Q3 aggresively, etc. When you do it, it looks troll as in "Oh, I just lost my flash".

But then you realize, you have higher HP and full lane control. Most of the time, if you don't get a kill, you get full wave control, a free reset with them stuck under tower with half hp farming while you come back to lane with item advantage and kill them in the bounce back / or if they recall, you get a freeze making them lose XP.

Not only you can win more lanes, but you improve mechanically because you are hard outplaying them and getting used to taking advantage of your flash in a way that will help you even outside of lane (doing all of those things in teamfights).

You don't use your flash to survive a gank or let it sit there, you use it to hard win lane.
