Can We Do Something About Movement Speed Inconsistencies?

I don't know what it is, but some times I get ran down on champs that normally shouldn't be able to run me down. Some times, people are insanely fast, some times they're fairly slow. Its not that big of a deal, but it's really hard to gauge what is and what isn't affecting movement speed and why some people get so much at a given time (aside from abilities).

Could also just be me.

Any champion can run any down with a proper build. You can't just look at Sion or cho and assume you'll just run circles around them. They could be running movement quints, there are masteries, itemization and base speeds.

Yeah. I'm not asking for nerfs in movement speed or anything. It's just really difficult to know what you can or can't run away from. More clarification is more or less what I want.

Look at their move speed.

Now look at your movespeed.

Congrats, you've done it.

What Micbran said. I'm not sure they could make it any clearer. If your number is bigger, you're faster.

It fluctuates a lot if you pay attention to it. It's very inconsistent.

Fluctuates from masteries most likely. The bush one and wanderer gives you a move speed boost for being out of combat.

There are also passive on items that increase your movement speed as well. I'm also one that takes movement speed quints and I'll be the first to tell you even that some times makes me question the point of the quints. Reason being, people easily run away from me when I have them. I honestly don't understand league some times.

Pfft, you want to complain about MS? You need to go back to the first two seasons where movement speed actually meant something!

Champs ranged from... I want to say 305, up to 360, the caps were higher, and Movement Speed Items were legit, and easy to stack with Ghost being, actually, incredibly Viable and better than Flash on a lot of champs.

Kennen, Yi and Rammus could be impossible to lock down, Fizz was a roaming terror (not that anyone played him - which is a shame, because his Season 2 (& parts of 3) itemization was busted.)

Ohh, also, all those people mocking my AD Kennen builds back in S1 and S2... yeah, what's the "New Hotness" right now with the Pros? And that is without the benefit of 2 PD's granting 36% dodge (or 3 giving almost 50%). He was a godsdamned terror in those days to lane against, if you knew how to chain stuns.

Now all you kids get off my lawn!

I don't necessarily have a problem with movement speed. I have a problem with how much it fluctuates at a given time making it very difficult to gauge.
