its not that swifites are particularly great.
the only reason swifties are so good now is that the game is loaded with slows, and merc treads arent as good as they used to be against cc. 20 tenacity and next to slows there is so much knockback and knockup that tenacity doesnt mitigate.
couple that with the amount of damage in the game right now, and it doesnt make much of a difference if youre stunned for 1 second or for .8 seconds when you still die during the stun.
if anything, then just give mobies a similar passive as dead mans. meaning the movement boost decays when cced or taking damage instead of completely falling off. but dont make them give more speed.
