Boots of Mobility: Don't Disable Them When Attacking a Ward

In "Part 1" (was supposed to be the only part) I suggested to retain the move speed bonus of Boots of Mobility when attacking wards, so that it wasn't so dangerous for supports to do that part of their job (some assassins buy them too, but not as often).

While it did get a lot of positive support, there was also many who made the valid point that anyone with Mobi's would be too safe while clearing wards if they kept the full move speed bonus. So now I'm going to propose a compromise between the two;

While not in combat by any other means, if you attack a ward your Mobi MS bonus drops from +105 down to +45. This will bring them to the same speed as every other Tier 2 boots except Swiftness.

Thank you for reading. Please comment and vote your opinions. Original proposal is linked above.

Why do you want to buff what is already the best option? If you want an extra 20 MS so badly, just buy alacrity on them.

You clearly don't support. Just another person that wants to catch and kill them extremely easily. Supports can't afford Alacrity just so they can kind of not be fucked for touching a ward.

Then don't buy mobis. Swifties exist; if you're afraid of being caught, buy those.

9/10 supports, like myself, know that you need the mobis to roam better, the ms buff would only apply when destroying wards due to the fact that they drop to tier 1 boot speed when attacking a ward, it wouldnt be perfectly safe to destroy wards still. however, it would be alot less of a "Im willing to die for this ward" opportunity for an enemy to abuse

If you want the benefits of mobis, you have to be willing to take the downsides as well. That's the whole reason Riot changed them in the first place.

Buy boots of swiftness. And if you don't think that is enough, make a thread about buffing boots of swiftness

I like this, but how about when you get the last hit on the dying ward the timer to reactivate the full bonus is decreased by 1 second as well?
