The length of Dashes are now reduced by Slows
And at the same time...
Boots of Swiftness
**NEW: ** UNIQUE Passive: Steadfast: Prevents dashes from being shortened by slowing effects.
(Removed old passive of slow reduction. +40 movement speed remains.)
There.
-
Now the Mobility Creep is under control, by causing champions with constant dashes/ridiculous mobility to have some counterplay;
-
Older champions who don't have mobility but rely on slows aren't screwed anymore (think
and 
); -
Boots of Swiftness are suddenly an actually useful item for once, that would be bought by many champions ({{perhaps
and 
), at least against team comps with a number of slows; -
Champions considered broken by 'extreme mobility' (
) are indirectly nerfed by requiring them to buy Boots of Swiftness against certain matchups.
(For example, if you're Ashe , and the enemy team has , he might have to buy Swiftness boots instead of, say, merc treads, in order to maintain his current mobility power. Thus indirectly nerfing him by making him miss out of the slight bonuses from other boot types.)
And lastly, a series of melee champions are given Steadfast as part of their kit naturally.
(So that they don't become infinitely kited by slows. This also gives them a slight lead against champions that dash away forever, and so are otherwise uncatchable, as long as you can slow them - thus helping balance melees against the ranged/mobility creep as well.)
What do you guys think?
