They've said the same thing for years and have done literally nothing. Their words have no backing at all. Be ready for another season of mobility creeping even more.
Well I guess they haven't done literally nothing. Making mobility creep worse is technically not nothing.
ScurvyNave2 votesTheir solution to mobility creep. "Just make more mobile new champions! That'll solve the problem."
Seriously I'm up voting this post and fully supporting it because its true and thats just sad.
Lets look at the most recent champions shall we:
,
,
,

Of these 5 only one has no dash/gap closer and that is Vel'koz and even then he has very high natural move speed. Now look at the others Gnar: Not only a gap closer but a jump that can be doubled and clear walls plus free movement speed from his passive and W Yasou: Can use his dash forever and skate across your entire minion line Braum: Can insta dash to an ally minion or Champion Azir: His E even though its buggy as hell.
Yup riot is definitely solving mobility creep. Its not like Gnar or yasou's kits revolve around it. Hell even Kalista gets a free move after each auto attack.
Riot Plz this is League of Legends not League of Dashes, gap closers and running away fast.
360D3GR3SS1 votesI don't even know what "mobility creep" is.
ScurvyNave3 votesIt's a general term used to describe how mobility is becoming the defining factor of a champions power and how league is becoming plagued with dashes, blinks, gap closers, etc. As a pointed out in a comment below newer champs seem to have more mobility making less mobile champs underpowered and underplayed. The "creep" part of the phrase refers to how this trend of increasingly mobile champions and play styles is infecting the game.
360D3GR3SS1 votesHow is it bad, it opens the doors to even more mechanical skill and play making.
Grand Eleven4 votesIts bad as it slowly invalidates older champs.
360D3GR3SS1 votesTo an extent yes but there will always be obsolete champions...all champions will NEVER be fully balanced and equally strong.
