My radical idea for balancing boot options

So with the prevalence of item 3009 every other boot in the game has really fallen out of greatness such as item 3111 even after the buffs to merc treads it is still barely used instead of Swiftness. So my idea is that the balance team should actually remove item 3009 from the game and giving all the boots in the game except for item 1001 a certain amount more movement speed (I really can't make up a value but around 10 I guess). This is going to make it a lot less punishing for anyone not building item 3009. A compensation for the slow resist from swiftness is that there could be a boot enchantment that would give an amount of slow resist (maybe a little less than the amount from swiftness). Ultimately, I believe that swiftness in its current state is un-healthy and needs to be removed.

I remember the days where people would ragequit if they saw you dare to build swifties on anyone. Even Singed would get flak for buying them. Times have really changed since the era of the all-mighty METAGOLEM. Just think, if we keep going in this direction then one day Riot will nerf Lee Sin and esports will become interesting!
