Instead of changing ff@15, can you please make homeguard relevant?

Most of my games end cause we get poked out by lethality with paper thin towers and we have to go to base and spend fucking 20 seconds just to heal and get back to our turret.

Why would you not make homeguards work at like 10 minutes or 15 if you think it's okay to move ff to 15 minutes?

Homeguards would literally take effect after you would surrender and the game would be over. The POINT is to give the losing team a chance to get back into it and turtle better.

I mean really, maybe the adc kiting enchantment would actually help nowadays.

Considering most ADCs aren't kiting right now, instead just staying out of range and poking (hence the current meta and why ADCin2017LUL exists about non-caster ADCS) this might be a good idea.

I want to be able to buy homeguard so dam much. It killed so many TP homeguard plays. RIP DrMundo Garen Hecarim Kennen Olaf Rammus Singed Volibear as the largest users of that speed bonus with TP

That's why they nerfed it, though. Hecarim homeguard TP ganks at like 8 minutes in were incredibly oppressive.

I understand that. But I'd still like the option to use homeguards to gank, get into the jungle faster as slower champions and obviously, get back to lane quicker earlier.

One thing I've suggested before is to maintain the current "free homeguard at 20min". But now "purchasable homeguards" are available at the 10 minute mark for 600 gold. This is a decent investment given the current state of the game. And to balance out out the cost, **you won't be refunded the cost of the homeguards at 20 minutes when everyone else gets them for free **.

Didn't get much attention, just one comment that stated, in a nutshell that the excessive cost would be enough to force a decision between it and core items and could be increased if need be (to say 800 gold)

instead of FF@15, why not let me leave when a guy has been afk for more than 10mins zzz with half LP loss.

Not applicable to duo-queued players, games past 30mins and high ELO where everybody knows each other (win trading)

Instead of auto homeguard, can we just have boot enchantments back with ACTUAL pros and cons for each enchantment rather than "These boots give your teammates movement speed, but so little that you're better off getting Homeguard instead.", because that's what ruined boot enchantments in the first place.
