Dont linearize the game further than it already is

Anyone remember boot enchants? besides the beneficial bonus speed stats it gave players a more non linear way of building or should i say it made our final builds feel more "unique". And yet Riot took it away due to too much movement speed on the map .-. Now your taking item sets away. If you want people to continue playing the game for more years to come you gotta stop by stripping the features that people already liked unless your planning to replace item sets and boot enchantments with something else in the near future ?

Rito claims that movement speed needs to be reduced as games are becoming too chaotic. Meanwhile, they release: AurelionSol Taliyah TahmKench Ryze

Yep, movement is definitely the problem.

YES exactly lately every champion that comes out has some map crossing ult or something just for some sick LCS plays or something but that completely contradicts why they removed the boot enchantments.

I think it was more that they gave homeguard by default which made everyone switch to alacrity for extra MS. So it basically increased MS across the map by a flat 20 on average. That made skill shots harder to land in general, which disrupted balance. Targeted stuff (e.g. adcs) were strong. Skillshot champions were weak. Rather than tweaking everything, easier to remove the enchants.
