Boots on AD Carries
Has anyone else noticed there is a huge disparity between Plat+ players (using champion.gg) and pros (using probuilds.net) on what boots they build on ADCs? Usually the items built for most champions between the two sites are very similar but it seems like boots on ADCs is one of the exceptions. On champion.gg Berzerker Greaves is build on nearly every ADC (with a couple exceptions like Ezreal and Corki.) On probuilds.net there are a lot more ADCs building Swiftness Boots and Ionian Boots of Lucidity and it seems like Berzerker Greaves is falling a bit out of favor on many ADCs.
So I guess my question is why is there such a huge disparity in this one particular item choice? Also, its it better for low elo players to just build Berzerker Greaves no matter what like the Plat+ players or should we follow what the pros are doing and try different boots? I know the obvious choice is follow the pros because they are a higher rank but a lot of times the pros are making item choices that, while correct for their skill level, might not be appropriate for all elos.
, and the speed from swiftness helps alot for the hit and run poke.
is used alot in proplay, and boots of swiftness reduce the danger of getting chought with those ghosts alot.

all the time now. For ranged auto-attacker movement speed is nearly as good as attack speed, at least early in game, as it simple makes you attack more often when kiting/chasing. And the amount of safety you get with these boots when they are also the cheapest is just too good to pass up.

is a much better item, but the gold efficiency and slot efficiency are more valuable at that level of play so try and squeeze more out of resources available. That Aegis 5 minutes sooner can be the difference between a win and a loss and at their level of play this is much more important.
