Can we remove those stupid caps on slows and MS Buffs already?

Seriously, why are they even in the game? This is the biggest offender to Ritos beloved "Clarity" that I can think of. If a skill says it slows by 50%, it should halve the targets MS. If I get a 100% MS buff from my friendly neighborhood AP Lulu, I expect to get twice as much MS. Meanwhile Riot spreads out things like 99% slows that fool people around thinking that the target would move at 3 MS and it is one percent away from rooting people. It just makes no sense at all.

TL;DR: U not want strong slows? U not make strong slows.

If ms becomes not capped the everyone would just stack MS, as who cares if your squishy or do little damage, you can just run away and never get hit by skillshots or anything.

Well, they could just reduce the general (percentage) MS, but you are right, it isnt as easy concerning the MS buffs, but as far as slows go, it really isnt neccessary.

I agree, now with slows not stacking anymore, i don't see a reason for the slowcap. It really would help clearity if it gets removed and slow values get adjusted if needed.

For movementspeed, i agree that it hurts clearity, but i feel like it's needed, else some champions like hecarim or YI would quickly get out of controll. The soft cap could get increased though, right now it mostly hurts imobile melees, as their only form of mobillity is stacking MS, and most of them already reach the first soft cap with their in-kit ms-buff, so they gain less ms from items than champions with gapclosers, which is wrong imo.
