Anyone else noticing the OTHER Mobility Creep?
I'm not talking about Champions. I'm talking about Items. For about a year now, the Movement Speed stat, which was usually specifically tied to Boots and a few other cases, has slowly made it's way onto more and more items.
Look at some of the changes to the item pool over a couple of seasons.
Phage - The first item I feel that started this trend (REALLY old change though). Chance of Slow on autos replaced with Bonus MS on autos.
**Righteous Glory **- Basically a stronger but more specific form of Talisman of Ascension. Popular item.
**Zz'Rot Portal **- Movement speed around Towers.
**Aether Wisp **- Addition of this guy created the first true "Movement Speed sub-item" and brought new items that would have the stat.
Ardent Censer - Builds out a Aether Wisp, wasn't used that much though.
Luden's Echo - This thing is a solid item, and made Movement Speed an easy to come-by stat on a lot of Mages due to how many champs can abuse it.
The Black Cleaver - Build path changed and a new effect added which made it so doing physical damage gave a burst of Movement Speed.
Dead Man's Plate - Brand new Tank item that gives ramping Movement speed.
Honestly I love Movement Speed. It's a fun stat to have an it becomes really noticeable when you're literally running circles around the enemy. I just hope it doesn't become TOO readily available.
