A random thought just occurred to me a little while back, "Huh, it seems weird that knockups have no way to reduce them." I think that this is probably on purpose for a reliable way to cc someone but even so, I was thinking, "How would the game change if there were, say, boots that reduced knockups? For example: Lead Boots of Sturdy Steps +40 Movespeed -20% knockup Duration
(Less overall speed because lead is heavy.)
Thoughts?
I agree knockups do need a way to be decreased, but I am not positive this is the right way. I am not saying it is a bad idea, nor am I reluctant to having this a thing. I feel like they just wouldn't be bought that much. I mean it is not even every game that there are knockups but there is not usually more than 2 possible knockups in a match. I think it would be better just to add -20% knockup duration or something to merc treads. Maybe boots of speed because they look steel?? Idk I just do not think that adding more boots would be THAT useful but hey idk.
I know the whole purpose of this thread is to say "knock ups are too abundant"...
..but dear god those boots are horrible. Why would I use this over Ninja tabis? That does the unique auto attack reduction and gives me armour and gives me regular movespeed. Why would I use this over mercury treads that gives enough MR to make me not worry about mages as a tank and also does the tenacity thing (that works on much more cc effects including things like nasus wither and galio taunt and also gives me regular movespeed?
This item works only against a very specific teamcomp and even then there's a fair chance that if you are getting chain knockup'd by said team comp, you've probably messed up somehow given how rare it is to be chain cc'd by like 5 guys until death. And even in those scenarios, the other boot choices still probably help out/garner a better chance at victory.
I agree that something needs to be added in the game against knock ups considering it's the strongest CC in the game.
Issue would be that almost everyone would buy them because knockups are THAT bad right now.
I mean if you're going for thematically heavy, then they oughta reduce your movement speed, no?
I want yordle stompers. All teemos must die.
