I don't think Flash as an effect is necessarily bad for the game.

I think Flash as a summoner spell is bad for the game.

I would definitely prefer if it was an item, similar to where they split Zhonya's Ring into two items, where you would likely have to choose whether or not that effect is worth a slot in your inventory. I think in the direction of choosing Veil, GA, Hourglass, etc.

They've actually addressed that exact suggestion. The reason they're hesitant to do that is because it adds a quantifiable value to the skills and champions who HAVE those Flash skills and the stats on the item would have to be so low that it would have a direct, negative, impact on the more item-dependent champions.
