Mobility boots are still trash until riot understands why they actually suck

No one wants to buy an item that practically debuffs you whenever you get hit by anything.

This is bad on almost anyone except maybe Quinn, which i'd argue it is still bad on.

Buying this item is so incredibly bad for you and your team, makes it so much easier for you to be caught. I understand its supposed to be a supporty item where you're supposed to be a strong roamer, but it simply does not work.

Why would I go mobis when I can take Swiftness boots with alacracity for just under the ms of the out of combat mobi boots? I understand it costs money to get alacrity but it's still just a better option, even if boots of swiftness didn't have the slow decrease it would still be better.

Its simply not good, even if you're roaming. If you go into a fight and the enemy is running laps around you because you have essentially tier 1 boots 35 mins in because of this item.

I wish riot could find a good balance for this item. It used to be a monster on champions like Talon and Voli. But now it just seems like an item that you see your 0-7-1 support bard pick up 20 minutes in.

Really wish it didn't essentially debuff you and make you easier to kite or just makes it harder for you the kite the enemy

It's an item to catch people out with typically taken by tanks, who don't care much for getting caught out.

What if... all boots were the same except for the ad/mr boots?

They were better when being in combat just downgraded you to regular tier 2 boots speed.
