Once again, there's a viable alternative to Ninja Tabi for bruisers:

item 3111 FINALLY!

Geez Riot, you took your sweet time before giving treads its tenacity back, didn't you? If Ninja Tabi was deleted in the preseason, not one single bruiser would have been viable. Not that they're that good anymore to begin with, but still!

If Ninja Tabi was deleted in the preseason no bruiser would have cared because Boots of Swiftness were so strong, especially on bruisers.

Swifties made it so much harder for a lot of champions to kite bruisers, and since everyone was getting them it made Ninja Tabi really difficult over it except if you had that much mobility as a bruiser (which was basically never unless you had some really nice team support) because you would never stick to your target.

If anything the nerf to Boots of Swiftness really helps the case for Mercury Treads even without Treads' buffs, and the Merc buffs are just gravy.

Now wait for the Mercury Treads nerfs when tenacity will affect knockups

I mean, pretty much every bruiser was purchasing swifties over ninja tabi most games anyway, so it's not like tabi were that amazing for them.

It is kind of nice to get merc treads back.
