Bring back Tier-3 boots in Season 7

I personally think that tier-3 boot enchantments were a really good mechanic, and I'm not sure why they removed them. If they didnt like having all those enchantments, maybe they could take it in a slightly different direction by having separate upgrades for each boots to add to what it does? Something like this:

Mobility Boots:

  • Have normal tier 2 boots movespeed when in combat, and gain out of speed movespeed 2 seconds faster
  • Gain an additional 10% out of speed movespeed

Ninja Tabi:

  • Gain an additional +15 armor
  • +25 movespeed

Mercury Treads:

  • Gain an additional +15 magic resist
  • +10% tenacity

Swiftness Boots:

  • +30 movespeed
  • (Something else?)

Sorc Shoes:

  • +25 movespeed
  • +10 mr-pen

Zerker Greaves:

  • +10% attackspeed
  • +15% movspeed for 1 second after basic attacking

CDR Boots:

  • +5% CDR (Raises cap by +5%) [allows for 50% with mastery]
  • +10% additional cdr on summoner spells

Maybe somebody else has different ideas, but I think itd be cool to have something like this. What do you guys think?

Tier 3 boots should return but the stats you posted are incredibly unbalanced. Tier 3 boots were largely removed because everyone was getting Alacrity tier 3 just for the flat movement speed.

All the tier 3 boots should not increase movement speed but have some other effect.

I rather grant tier 3 boot to normal melee champion only... not for assassin or champion with dash/jump.

In their current state no and too much movement speed would be it's own problem

Hoever if boots were nerfed as they currently are but you could buy 2 enhancements say Ninja Tabi and Merc treads that might be an interesting way to make some of the less common boot types bought. Each enchantment grants a specific amount of increased movement sped so boots of speed grant 20 then Ninja tabi grant another 20 and Merc treads grant another 20 for a total of +60

Boots of Speed: 20 movement speed

Boots of mobility: Gain 90 movement speed when out of combat

Ionian boots: 10% CDR; + 20 movement speed; reduce summoner spell cooldowns by 10%

Boots of Swiftness: 30 movement speed 25% resistance to slows

Berseker's: +35% attack speed +20 movement speed

Ninja tabi: 30 armor, blocks 12% of damage form basic attacks + 20 movement speed

Merc Treads: 25 MR, 30% tenacity, +20 movement speed

The current boot options are good but it often feels like a tough choice has to be made if getting them early.

Well I think the exact changes you suggested aren't balanced, but I could see them implementing a tier 3 with different effects.

I don't get why they hated the Enchantments.

Alacrity may of been the most used but was it always the most useful?

Ferver gave a different style of the Phage Passive for AA champs to kite easier. Alacrity gave more MS Distortion or whatever gave Sums 10% CDR The Orange One gave Allies plus MS - good on supports like Janna/Nami.

They all had there benefits, they needed a couple more though to even them all out.
