Let's talk Boots.

Alright, for too long I've had this idea in my mind, and it's time I just come out and say it. Riot, we need more boots. I know, I sound like a teenage girl begging for that 30th pair of shoes, but seriously, I think boots in the game are lacking some pathways. There is so much control needed over mobility, and so people take for granted what a lil kick int he movement department can bring you! People care more for the boots secondary stats that the actually need for move speed is lost on so many players! Like a Morg support going Sorc Shoes, or Tanks choosing Tabi or Merc's and possibly needing to take a Zephyr later in game to balance the lack of tenacity..

So I think we need some new shoes, particularly in the support department?

I've been brainstorming. And I keep coming back to one idea that I brought up to a few players that they saw would be horribly abusive in bot lane, but mind you, fair game for all.

Idea #1: Fae Boots of Invigoration - I see these boots offering just a lil more movement speed than the standard boots (50, over 45, due to the necessity to always need good positioning in this role. Also, would help out the supports who roam (Bard, Janna, even same Nami wave ults). As well as the kick up to movement speed, I want their added stat to be a mana regen stat. Whether this stat be a flat 3 per 5 (or 25% bonus - however the new items go now), or something special like (restores 1% of mana every 5 seconds), I don't care, but supports find themselves mana thirsty early game, and this kick may just create some steadier cash flow to get the adcs going. A common response I get to this idea is that tier 2 amulet coin offers plenty of mana regen for laning phase, and if we're being totally honest... No, it doesn't. So many supports have one core spell that they rely on in lane, and many of them reach over 100 mana in no time at all. 100 mana early game is nearly 15 to 20% of any mana pool. (Janna's Q, Nami's W, Kayle's W (yes, Kayle can support).) I feel a nice homage to the supports is well overdue, and a new pair of booties would be just the thing!

Idea #2: Boots Enchantment: Flutter - This is it, are you ready? WHY ON EARTH CAN ONLY ONE ITEM IN THE GOD DAMN GAME GIVE CHAMPIONS THE ABILITY TO MOVE THROUGH UNITS!? THIS ABILITY WOULD BE CRUUUUCCIIAAALL TO SUPPORTS AND POSITIONING AND YOU'RE TELLING ME I NEED TO BUILD A GOD DAMN PHANTOM DANCER ON MY NAMI TO BURN 2800 GOLD!?? COME ON RIOT! THAT'S JACKED UP! Rant aside, I think the enchantment to move through units would be amazing. It would be one of those enchantments that some find useless (i.e. I don't much like the captain enchantment, because it goes unnoticed and has little impact), but others would be able to pursue enemies who are getting minion cock blocked! We've all been there. We've all been cock blocked by our own minions and died for it. I feel this option would be best for support maneuvers and general safe play for people who may not be overwhelmingly skilled at positioning.

Now you've seen my ideas, and if we need to have another Ionian v. Noxian or some other city states WAR to obtain a new pair of boots, LET'S DO IT!
