is there any champion in the game who uses relentless hunter?

why not replace the rune with celerities effect (and make it work with regular boots) to provide some in combat mobility?

then you could replace celerity with something useful.

just saying, the rune is trash after the nerfs anyway, and it would be an opportunity to not have 4 movement speed runes in sorcery anymore?

Pretty much any jungler or assassin that wants to snowball uses Relentless Hunter.

why? literally any of the other options makes more sense.

more sustain, shorter item cooldowns, or shorter ult cooldowns.

any of those are more powerful than out of combat movement speed if you want to snowball. especially since it doesnt specify out of combat with enemy champions. doesnt that mean jungle camps turn the ms bonus off, and youre only benefitting from it half the time?

i mean even if thats the case, if you turned celerity into a hunter rune and made it work on boots, it would have a similar effect.

I know its easy to fall into that belief, but it's not true. There's a reason so many champions default to wearing item 3117 over defensive boots or offensive boots:

You can't use your kit enough per game if you are not mobile.

For example, a 356 Move speed Zyra versus a 498 move speed Zyra

There's no competition between the two. A slow Zyra cannot keep up with her team, gets far less participation/shutdowns, and is basically only good for defending and clearing lanes. Unless she's occasionally setting up a pre-eminent bush gank where she knows someone is going to pass, she generally is defaulted to being dead weight.

A Relentless Hunter Zyra can both outrun her chasers long enough to E them successfully and prevent a successful chase, possibly killing them with very low health, and be in almost every fight.

I really can't tell you how many times I pick Zyra particularly versus Volibear . Voli's speed boost can almost catch a 498 Move speed Zyra. He would catch and kill a 356 move speed Zyra.

This is why I generally argue that Phase Rush builds are generally heavily underrated as well. Having the mobility to move around on immobile champs completely changes how they work.

For example, I can outdamage an entire team on pure movement speed runes on Karma ...... simply because I become omnipresent. A slow moving Karma is generally an easy target, dies a lot, and becomes a Q bot. On movement speed, I hit about 30-40 more skills a game! Each hit might not have a Rune's damage, but the sum of the damage does FAR more to proc Karma's passive and get out more innate kit damage to compensate.
