Since there is an ABSURD amount of CDR available to supports now, can we get a new support T2 boots?

Boots of swiftness have been nerfed into the ground and are pretty trashy on most champions who aren't bruisers or tanks.

Greaves and Sorcerer's Shoes are useless on passive supports who don't care about damage, like Soraka, Janna, Nami, and more.

Treads/Tabi's are counterproductive on support champions who don't want to be within range of enemy attacks regardless.

Boots of mobility seem the least crappy currently, although they should only exist as an alternative that you consider whether you want to build, not something supports are forced to build simply because they hate every other boots item.

Lucidity Boots are the main reason I made this thread. They were the go-to support boot before a standard support build bled 20% CDR over the 40% cap. With an eye item being basically mandatory, supports have only 30% CDR remaining and there is simply never room for these boots unless you're sure it's gonna be a 20 minute game.

The main problem supports face is that CDR is rampant in their builds. You can't afford to waste hundreds of gold on unusable CDR, especially as a support living on scraps from assists. I've been asking for slight adjustments on support items CDR for months, but since it looks like Riot doesn't view this as an issue, we could use a new pair of boots.

Gold generation, visions, auras, the possibilities for a pair of support boots are endless. Personally I would like a pair of boots that gives bonus MS or MP/HP regen when running to, or being near an ADC you've bound with. Again, anything could work, so it's not important what the boots do, it's just important that we get a decent option.

Not really relevant to the conversation, but please do not play Nami passively except in the cases where the enemy is just really scary (like a Draven/Leona lane, or a good Blitz/Thresh).

In lane your W is death but by the time you get T2 boots your damage has fallen behind and will only become less and less impactful, so i don't get Sorc's on her.

I'd love healing/shielding boots, even if they're expensive.

I think with mysteries and lucidity having ~15% CDR on exhaust/ignite and flash is pretty great for long term trading opportunities and late game team fights.

The issue isn't the passive, it's that essentially no support needs CDR from boots to hit the cap. The passive is great, but in most cases doesn't justify wasting 300 gold on CDR.
