LoL devs finally end the Flash on ‘D’ or ‘F’ debate with updates

The enduring debate among League of Legends players over the optimal key for the Summoner Spell Flash has reached its conclusion, thanks to a definitive statement from the game developers in the recent patch notes.

Throughout the history of League of Legends, players have engaged in passionate discussions and arguments on various topics, but none have rivaled the intensity of the age-old dispute regarding whether the D or F key is the correct one for Flash, a critical Summoner Spell used by almost all champions.

The battle between the D players and the F has persisted since the inception of the game, with players defending their preferred key in a rivalry that has become legendary within the League of Legends community.

However, the latest patch notes, specifically in Patch 14.2, contain a revelation from Riot Games that decisively settles the debate.

Within the patch notes addressing bug fixes and improvements, Riot Games acknowledged a particular issue related to Flash.

“Fixed a bug that caused players to be able to flash out of grounded zones they had teleported onto if they were spamming the key, F.”

The bug in question allowed players to Flash out of grounded zones they had teleported onto if they were rapidly pressing the key, designated as “F.” This revelation serves as the developers’ official stance on the matter, confirming that the correct key is indeed “F.”

The resolution of this age-old question by the League of Legends developers, asserting that “F is for Flash,” has put an end to the protracted dispute, offering clarity to players who have been divided on this issue for years.
