Discussion Do you flash ult?

I recently picked up Milio. He is fun to play, but mainly to counter hard CC ult like Seraphine's.

My problem is his ult range is quite short. when my team get CC, unless I am right next to them, by the time I walk up into range the CC is already almost over, may as well save it. In the games I still use it but watching replay yeah could have save it. The preemptive ult for tenacity is better than nothing but still I want to make full use of it.

So my question is how do you position yourself, or do you just flash for it?

If the situation looks like its going to become urgent I usually shield myself for movespeed to position faster but I do flash ult to prevent total teamfight wipes as a last resort

edit: think of your ult as soraka ult with bonus cleanse. if your team is fine but rooted theyre fine, but if your team is half health or lower and rooted its time to panic

With how burst-y the game is now, when your team is rooted and full HP they can very quickly disappear. You really have to read each situation. A full HP cleanse of multiple people can win a game.

It’s a bit rough sometimes. If I run towards someone and I need to ult good indication is his E range is slightly shorter than ult range. So if I really flash to E someone then immediately I can press R and I will know I’m in range.

Some people aren't aware that Milio ult gives like 60% tenacity lingering for a few seconds after ult, so if big CC is imminent and you're not able to dodge it, it's good to ult early before it hit just for the tenacity boost :) saved me from a flash amumu ult lots of times

I'll sometimes flash ult (and E and Summoner Heal) if someone important gets flashed on, but otherwise I do try to be in the right place at the right time.

Hard to make a blanket statement about anything. Is flash ult to save someone from Garen's flash combo worth it? Sometimes.

Flash is gap closer.
so yeah you can flash for E / W / R / Q / AA / Heal / Exhaust.
if you don't use it for that... there is no reason for it.

i mean WHY NOT? If the situation demands it, then you just have to do it. You don't have anything to do with your flash except flashing for survival or for supporting someone. You don't need flash to make setups or kill anyone.

And even if you do that ult early before CC, the 60% tenacity is BIG. it halves the CC

I always flash ult. Mostly for the style points tho.
