If Cassiopeia takes Magical Footwear why can't she just get 10 movement speed after 10 minutes?

Instead of gaining boots with +10 extra movespeed why can't she just get an extra 10(maybe 15) movement speed after 10 minutes in general? It feels so bad to go inspiration secondary, only to realize that you're being completely shut out a rune by your passive.

Why would you even take it for 10ms...

Have you looked at the other choices? It's the only viable rune on that tier (now a better solution would be making the other runes on that tier not-trash, but that's a whole separate topic).

Also, Cass only gets 10 ms, but she doesn't suffer the 'penalty' of being locked out of boots either. She should also technically get 50 g technically for an equivalent exchange because upgrading boots is 50g less.

You could just skip that tier entirely if you're going Inspiration secondary. On Cass I would imagine Aproach Velocity and Perfect Timing/Biscuit Delivery would be ideal choices.

Future's Market is DEFINITELY a viable rune.

350g seems pretty good to me

10 ms seems pretty great to me.

Probably because she's balanced around her movement speed being as is.

ADCs aren't balanced around their mobility skill though.

They actually are. Balance isn't always perfect.

Riot sadly doesn't care about Cass, so they'll never consider compensating her for her complete lack of boots. Those days it's more of a handicap instead of an unique strength since you'll never get to buy that 6th item.

They gave us the Eternum skin in an attempt to shut us up while nerfing her into the ground in the very same patch it came out - that was quite nasty of them. Anyway, right now there's no point in playing a lategame champ like her in a meta without a lategame.

The same reason why champions without hard CC shouldn’t take Aftershock, or champions without Mana shouldn’t take Manaband. It’s not supposed to work on them.

Honestly Cass has a lot of options in Inspiration, Biscuit and Stopwatch in the first row, Future’s Market in the second (get items faster), and Insight or Approach velocity in the last row. They all work well for Cass.

Just go Future's Market. It's a pretty strong rune as well and it's in the same line as Magical Footwear. You might as well be complaining that Dr. Mundo can't use aftershock. Not every champion has to be able to utilize every rune.
