I hate people that don't understand itemization, they make games so much harder that they have to be

Let's give an example shall we?

You're playing vs ... gets 2 early kills before 5 minutes are even up... What boots would you buy in this situation?

B.

If you chose A, you are an incompetent dumbass with no game knowledge. The enemy have no slows, the enemy have gap-closers that beat that extra 10 MS gives, the enemy have on-hit burst and DPS, you have limited easy to dodge hard CC. SO WHY WOULD YOU BUILD IN THAT SITUATION?!

Jesus christ it's so annoying.

For damage? Jhin gets a lot of raw AD from crit passive MS + swifties converting to celerity. There is a reason to go it in that situation, more damage.

Not saying item 3047 isnt an option but I wouldn't call it incompetent to go swifties. Tabi is just asking to survive better (which jhin probably will not win vs already strong lucian with tabi anyway, so you're not living and you're not getting stronger either. Fuck if anything, lucian is the better tabi user in this case since he's already ahead, putting it on jhin doesn't make him win 1v1 vs lucian or 2v2.)

So build damage stats you wont live long enough to use instead of a competent defense item with 10 less Movespeed and a on-hit damage reduction passive...

Wow your priorities are about as disgusting as the Jhin I had to deal with doing just this.

I mean if the lucian got two kills before 5 minutes, there is no point in either boot. That's just a lost fucking lane for Jhin as lucian's innate mobility and better dueling potential just means he shuts on Jhin regardless. This is made worse when you consider the supports; sona is squishy, more poke oriented, has a very piddly shield and heal, and has no hard cc pre 6 making her very vulnerable early levels to being dived and all in'd. Like seriously, sona starts the game with less health than a minion. On the opposite side, we have rakan who has a passive shield, a regular shield, and a heal, making him resistance to poke and his shield into knock up into shield again actually means he's stupidly good at all ins.

The kind of boots would have done shit for this specific pair of laners once lucian got ahead. :/ their lane was just done.

Everything helps, that's what you failures seem to never understand, 12% off all attacks is a damn high amount.

Especially when compared to a useless as shit pair of boots like item 3009 .

So giving him more mobility to dodge the inevitable rakan all in is bad, lol?

And the tabis wont reduce 12% off all attacks. Just off AAs and Lucian is caster based. ._. Meaning a lot of his damage is ability based. Furthermore, it wont make up the difference. The lucian is going to come back with more damage and the help tabis gives will be negligible, especially since that just puts jhin further behind. He just wanted gold on stats that will only briefly help in laning while lucian just bought a cutlass. Which gives him life steal as well to help him survive the nonexistent damage from the jhin with just boots.

Wow 10 whole MS, that'll sure make it damn easy despite the fact the fucking rakan gets an MS boost too from his abilities.

HMMMMMMMMM...

Where are you getting this ridiculous notion that it's only 10 ms? Wtf, swifties gives a flat 55 ms. And the only ability of rakans that gives MS is his ult. I assumed we were pre five minutes; no one should have their ults yet.

All boots but item 3117 give 45 Movespeed.

Swifties give 55 and slow resistance.

JFC learn before you speak.

Can you give a link to the match so I can see runes, I cant find it on your profile. From what I have seen yes ninja MIGHT be the best thing to buy but I am not 100% certain.

Most damage dealers don't build defensive boots because it doesn't help them scale into mid and late game.
