Does anyone else feel like mobility is too high right now?

Idk maybe it is just me, but with the introduction of the new runes it feels like some champions are just uncatchable now with keystones such as phase rush or fleet footwork. Every game I see high damage champions just running circles around those who do not take the mobility runes or who are behind and do not have the move speed to escape. Before when people escaped, it was through clever use of wall hopping or cc which made me feel like I could catch opponents if I played it right. But now I see someone speeding down the lane away from me and think what am I supposed to do? Does anyone else feel this way?

Rakan's mobility is disgusting for a Support.

Right now?

People have been complaining about mobility creep for years.

When I play Ashe against Rakan I want to kill myself to end my agony.

Now? It's been an issue for ages and people have been complaining about it.

Riot's response? Add mobility into every new champion + rework they do.

This is everything new that has some sort of dash or mobility skill, or was reworked to have one, since I started.

This is what doesn't.

This Trundle today was so fast, it was like trying to catch a full attack speed, "The Fast" crit Jhin. I had to get a righteous glory and swifties on Leona just to stick to him enough, because he'd manage to run out of range in the 2 seconds he wasn't stunned.

I've also seen some kind of max-movement-speed warwick. I likewise got a righteous glory, talisman and mobis on Soraka (who's already got a speed buff)

And I had a fed Diana who outran me on Rakan. I had to use my full kit, ult included, + protobelt to catch her. But his sticking power after that wasn't enough. She just kept dipping in and out of my team like they were a jar of cookies.

There's some crazy stuff going on. There's tradeoffs for playing this way- but when someone who's good at splitpushing, or dodging, goes full movement speed, it's insane.

(and then there's Vayne)

?? What are you talking about ? Mobility is all over the place for about the previous 2-3 seasons. Since then riot introduced champs with absurd mobility (ik ik not all champs have much mobility but they have mobility nevertheless)

Eh, mobility is fine, in my opinion, although it DOES say something about the recent meta shifts.

I've been seeing more mobile carries, and less mobile tanks-- for example, Ornn's pretty busted right now, but he's not really mobile.
