Suggestions/Comments: Per the June 2nd Global Labs patch notes:
"The control key for Elementalization has been changed to ↓ + E."
"As a result, the skill Toxic Flood/Lava Field has been changed so that it does not activate while moving backwards."
Toxic Flood and Lava Field are primarily used while moving backwards to maintain a foward guard when using the skill. This change disrupts the flow of using this skill and will likely result in accidentally using the skill you did not intend to use.
When Lightning Blast (↓+RMB) was introduced a similar conflict arose when attempting to pet attack (RMB) while moving backwards. The solution was and still is to lock Lightning Blast and use it from hotbar. In the case of Toxic Flood/Lava Field that doesn't seem quite as viable, you could lock and hotbar Elementalization but the patch note wording makes it sound like ↓ + E would still not trigger Toxic Flood/Lava Field.
I don't understand what the issue was with ↓ + SPACE. The patch notes say "The <Elementalization> skill has changed the operation keys to prevent situations in which unwanted actions are sometimes triggered." It seems to me this causes the same issue it seeks to solve?

My guess is that it conflicts with Archmage TP. They surely can't mean the noob-jump when used out of CD since that's been there forever with TP and Ulti.
Anyway I do agree with these concerns. In my view this change fixes nothing and only serves to break muscle memory for those awaken mage players who took to using the skill. And if my guess about it being Archmage TP then they ought to have designed Archmage TP in some other way, since it so long CD (3min) why not just make it a quickbar-only skill or something, altho there are still many available key + space combos that are free.

personally i dont mind the current command and like it coz im used to it.
what i dont like is the fact we cant keybind JUMP to a totally different keybind if we want to whiole keeping combat commands the same, or that we cant animation cancel accidental jumps with our skills.
also, if u attempt to do elementalization/teleport near stairs or some ridge, often your character will attempt to jump over object/climb it isntead of using elementalization/teleport

If they are going to move the keybind, they should either remove the spacebar awake flow that causes the wrong skill to sometimes be triggered (teleport instead of elemental) instead
or
move it to a keybind that actually isn't conflicting with anything like S+Q
