Idea for new Boots/Boot Enchant

There normally isn't a problem with knockups in SoloQ non 5s unless they are building a team around Yasuo, but when you are playing with teams of 5 knockups become very overwhelming.

Knockups aren't affected by tenacity and many teams of 5's abuse this mechanic and pick multiple knockup champions which could render an entire team useless for 5 seconds

Picking teams like Malphite Top MonkeyKing Jungle Orianna Or Yasuo Mid Kalista ADC Janna orNami Support

Because of a team like this, even if they are very behind their CC is very hard to play around Even if only 2 or 3 of your champions are hit, they're likely to be bursted instantly on top of not being able to do anything about it, resulting in losing every fight

Even with item 3102 Banshee's and/or item 3140 This could have you from a maximum of 2 seconds of the 5 seconds of uselessness, so I propose a new type of Boots/Boot enchant

I propose the Rock Solid Malphite Boots, giving you 20-35% (Or however Riot would like to balance this) Reduced knockup duration

We can implement a few different types of mechanics depending on if it's a boot enchant or a new type of boots

If it's a boot enchant, the knockup resistance could be on the lower end Closer to 15-20% and Store 1 or 2 charges of knockup resistance every 30 or so seconds

If these are a new type of boots, we could do something different such as 10 less movespeed for 35% knockup reduction

Let me know what you guys think! If you have any ideas to share feel free to comment here or message me on the client (Lordiiee)

Personally I think something like Steel Shoes or Anchor Boots sounds a bit better for a name.

Passive-wise I think there needs to be more to it than just knock-up resistance or reduced duration, as even if a knock-up is troubling you the other boot passives are just way more useful in the long run when you consider the rest of the enemy team's strengths/CC.

Which is why picking Sivir, Morgana or Alistar support is a good way to counter them. Other anti CC or have spell shield abilities are Olaf, Nocturne, Fiora, Gangplank. Irelia simply gets up to 40% Tenacity depending on nearby enemy champions.

Look here for everything to do with CC.

Knockups should be reduced by size(its only logical). Add "size" parameter to each champion that shows how knockups work on them. And size is also modified by Chogath's ult, Lulu's ult and potion
