tier 2 boots with 45ms esp. for tanks/bruisers

so i'm asking for 550 gold 45ms boots.

boots are too big a tax for front liners who need resistances asap. item 3158 item 3009 yet with the way the game is so mobile you absolutely need tier 2 boots. so how can I be a front liner early game but still be relevant. say I'm shyvana and I want item 3006/item 3009 later in the game as I choose to go somewhat bruiserish. this sets me back considerably in tankyness early game. those items are viable on shyvana late game but not early for her to fulfill her role in teamfights.

especially for jungling tanks that need to get the jungle item first

Now I realize riot doesn't sweat the small stuff. I don't think this falls under that. We're talking at least 400 gold worth of defensive stats. these items exist precisely because they are deemed big enough to make a difference on their own:item 1029 item 1033 item 1028.

even the tank boots: item 3111 item 3047 can hurt a tank early on if they need to have hp or dual resistance early game. Tenacity can wait.

I may want to build devourer on shyvana early game. this plus boots means I am further delaying my tankyness/frontline role.

item 1403 item 3009 item 3143 item 3153 item 3102 item 3083 Why am I stuck having to get very squish items early game if I want to build this way. item 1403 item 3009

The answer is opportunity cost. You wanna be sanic and go fast with swifties? then you forego the defense of tabi boots (which btw are the best tank boots and should be your default choice over merc treads due to the superior defense it gives).

Okay how about just plain 45ms boots that cannot be upgraded you have to sell to get the other tier 2 boots. the cost would be factored then.

I just want to be able to stay even with tier two boot champs without compromising my role. I'd be prepared to pay a small fee for this by having to replace said boots late game.

Honestly all depends on the cost of those boots on if it'd be worth or not but otherwise sure i guess.

cool, glad you aren't against the idea. I mean so long as there isn't any problem with it, I don't see why it couldn't be added. would be less frustrating for early, especially now that so much rides upon a good start. would love to see this on pbe
