Movement speed

Honest question, I have seen a lot of posts lately on movement speed so I was wondering. Do people think that all champs should have the same movement speed before any talents/runes/abilities?

Absolutely not. Movespeed should be inversely proportional to range (including abilities).

No. Ranged characters should always have lower base movespeed than a melee. It makes a fair trade.

That's really an over-simplification... There is a seed of truth in the middle, but you cannot sum um the whole issue with that.

Mobility is one of the many potential strengths/weaknesses that a champion can have, and MS is the very base of a champ's mobility. It's one lever that is used to get the balance right, and I'm really convinced it should remain so.

And I don't think that base MS (i.e. "before any talent/runes/etc.") should be treated differently. What needs to be assessed is the mobility of the kit as a whole, not just the talents/runes/etc.
