Mobility Is Useless

okamiyasha95··1 votes·1,269 views

I played a game as Udyr and I ganked an Illaoi support when I was about a level or two ahead of her. Needless to say, I used my bear stance which gave me a 20-30 percent MS boost, I had blue smite to slow her down, and at the time I had complete boots and she did not. I was over 120 more MS than her. Even with 100+ more MS than her I had to chase her from halfway in the bot lane to her turret before reaching her. That is fucking crazy. It should not take that long to catch a champ who is 100+ MS slower than you AT ALL.

I played another game as Thresh where I built boots of mobility while they did not and I couldn't catch up to anybody. They were still running almost as fast as me, having me chase for 2+ seconds all the way from bot side of the river to the top side of the river. This is not the fist time and it has been a lot of times where this has been happening. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. I remember when buying boots of mobility made you into Sonic where you could instantly catch someone if its passive wasn't interrupted. Now MS means nothing as everyone is practically going the same speed. I remember when having 500+ MS meant something.

Make MS actually mean something again.

Udyr hasn't been a "mobile" champ since like S2, though.

And if you have such a fetish with MS, I recommend playing Rammus, Hecarim, Quinn, or Nunu.

I don't think you're understanding where I'm getting at. Udyr has the same MS as everyone else or at least no more than 50 points off. His E boosts his MS by like 15-30 depending on the rank of the E. That along with celerity and other items should boost his MS up 100+ more than everyone else. THAT SHOULD MEAN SOMETHING.

The whole point of my post was that that's not right. Even if Udyr isn't as mobile as he used to be, he' still a mobile champion. All those champs you mentioned can get a MS boost of at least 100% while Udyr can only get 70 percent if he maxes out his E. That's not really that much of a difference, but it should be. Also, they all get at least a 70 percent boost at rank one while Udyr has to max his E out. Even at a 20% boost, catching champions should be fairly easy and quick. I shouldn't have a 20% MS boost and watch the enemy I'm trying to catch run nearly as fast as me.

The thing is is that you can build so much mobility and have it go to such a high number that 100ish doesnt do much. 500ish is something else. I played a game with a mobi zilean and the only way to kill the mofo was to stun chain him

The cap for raw movement speed is around 500ish but you build items and runes that let you go well over that cap. He probably hit 700 MS or something. In that case, of course you couldn't catch him, but even at a 100 percent boost, he should be the same way. The problem is that they put too much mathematics into it and it highly convoluted MS. If you get a 20 percent MS boost, then it should take 20% less time to catch someone or to get to another point if you didn't have the MS boost. So if it took you 1 second to catch someone without boost, it should take you .48 seconds. If it takes one minute to get down the rift, then with a 20 percent boost, it should take you 48 seconds. This would be insane for champions who exceed 100 percent speed boosts, but to combat that issue, their stats should be cut so that they still have extreme speed but without breaking the sound barrier.

This is a crazy comment. Play WW and learn to surf the blood trails well. You'll have so much time with crazy high movement speed you'll see more than enough opportunity with it. Even just for baiting out moves, ms is great.

I think you're taking my comment to literal. Of course Movement speed means something. No shit. If we all had 0 movement speed we wouldn't be able to play the game. The point I made was an exaggeration of the fact that movement speed boosts do not feel like movement speed boosts. I can play Udyr and outrun a WW on my blood trail with the right items. He gets a 35% MS boost. It's faster than a 20% boost but it's still slow when you can only catch someone with it if they're completely out of place, if they're slow, or if they're not moving at all unless you want to die.
