Boots in season 6

Kyunsei··3 votes·532 views

Boots lost their enchantments in path 6.9, also except for mobility and swiftness boots, they all give the same amount of move speed.

Speaking of swiftness, they lost 5 move speed in patch 6.9 and they will lose 5 more with patch 6.11, making them 10 move speed faster than the regular boots.

You can choose when to buy boots, I agree with that, but you can't choose to buy boots, they are mandatory in 98% of builds.

Those 2 last season a lot of new move speed option were introduced, like dead's man plate, luden echoes or Zz'rot portal.

Do boots still fit League of Legends ?

I think boots could be removed and each champion could get a flat amount of move speed (30 or 45), then items >specialized< in move speed and that you >choose< for this stat would be you option for move speed, like it already is but being a real item in your build.

Also early game in league feel a bit undynamic and kind of unmeaningful, of course it can help you determines a win or a lose. Move speed at the beginning of the game would make it more dynamic (roaming, dodging, stun and slow are more valuable early, ...)

Well, maybe the game is not ready yet, but those last modifications added to boots made me re-write this post (it got lost somewhere, I don't really how)

Thanks for reading and please share your thoughts.

No, boots just need to be more than simple stat-sticks.

When you opt to buy boots is a huge factor in lane dynamic because they're a very helpful combat stat that doesn't give damage or durability.
