Late Game Strat

Communist Toast··2 votes·471 views

We all know that in the early/mid game, boots are an important part of the game. I won't deny that. But when you get in the late game where it is about player/team composition and team fights/plays. Does anyone else think boots are overrated? last game I decided to get rid of my boots late game to get another AP item to boost my AP around 950 so I could help team fight even more.

I don't know I guess it just seems to me that in the late game you don't really need to run away

A common thing I see with AD carries is at 6 items, they swap out boots for a item 3172. Since it gives movement speed, and actual combat stats. And helps survivability more then boots.

When I'm full build, I'll typically swap out my boots for another item that grants movement speed. Common substitutes are: item 3285 item 3100 item 3078 item 3046 item 3087 item 3172 item 3023

Yeah, I do this, or on some champs, I instead pick something that slows when they have built in speed steroids or ways of kiting really well (like Rylai's on Cass or Viktor).

MAYBE for ADs, but mages and anyone who doesn't benefit from item 3172 absolutely needs boots late-game. How is it less important that early game? TEAMFIGHTS late-game decide the match, and if you were too late to the party... GG.

why would you start a team fight if someone wasn't there?? Or were you planning on losing? I am confused on your wording. you say team fights are what matters, so did I. boots don't matter in team fights, unless you are dumb and start it when someone isn't there

What if someone else starts it when you're not quite there?

What if someone is caught out?

What if someone catches someone else out, but they're a CC tank so they don't have damage on their own?

What if Xerath just ulted and you need to dodge it?

I still am confused, why would someone else start it when your team isn't there? unless you mean the other team, in which case, why would you be so far extended that the other team Could start the team fight while your team wasn't there? if someone gets caught out, let them die, why would you go into a team fight when you already know the person caught is as good as dead?
