Tenacity is becoming more and more essential in today's meta, yet its only available on boots, so even if the other boots are overbuffed ill still be buying treads 80% of the time even on my carries.
Instead of deleting Zephyr there should have been another Tenacity item added like it.
Remember Spirit of the elder golem? 2 big items with tenacity gone, left with just a pair of boots to choose from.
Irelia Bot3 votesI miss you Zypher.
YOu made me not have to question getting Ninja Tabi against Renekton.
Sasogwa3 votesNope, tenacity are weak rn. 30 % isn't enough and they're weak in gold efficiency. They need a buff in any case. This is CC meta and they're still not toptier, it's problematic.
masterdragon4812 votesI, as well, would like a few more tenacity options in the game.
That being said, tenacity needs to be balanced around its best case scenario; and with 15% in masteries and another 25% in pots.........tenacity scales multiplicatively (and im rusty on calculating it) but you are looking at probably close to 50% reduced cc duration on any champion (we won't talk about irelia). Thats a LOT. I don't know thats its fair to have more.
Irelia Bot1 votesWhile Irelia can get 1 times .75 = .75 Elixer of Iron .75 Times .85 = .6375 Masteries which most Irelia players will not take .6375 Times .7 = .44625 Merc treads .44625 * .6 Fully stacked Ionian Fervor 1- .26775 = 73.225% The elixer of Iron is not worth getting in basically any case since it only is offering 8.925% reduction.
I would generally be better off getting the AD damage elixer in most every case.

to be moved to Summoners Rift.
Skias1 votesWith how strong AD is in general, ninja tabi is a pretty good purchase. 15% reduction and a healthy amount of armor helps.
WoonStruck1 votes*10%
Its getting buffed to 12%.
It'll still be only Merc's and Swifties.
Valhalla Rising2 votes*10%
Its getting buffed to 12%.
It'll still be only Merc's and Swifties.
And greaves only 35% from 30, my point being they could double up on those buffs and make it 15/40 and it still wouldn't be enough to make me consider them anymore as long as treads remain the only real source for tenacity.
WoonStruck1 votesActually, tabi is going in the right direction.
However, swifties need to be pushed more towards anti-slow. They need to be put at 45 like everything else and offer significant slow resistance. Upward of 50%. Maybe more.
Its the same concept of changing phage from a slow to a speed boost. Enemies aren't punished by it. You're rewarded for it. Its a win-win, and it reduces mobility creep.
Zerker grieves are basically just a stat-stick. They don't offer anything unique. At least Sorc Shoes offer a hard-to-find stat.
MLDzXnRRR1 votesThe easiest way to kill anyone is to CC him and focus. Mercs on melee champios will be the best boots no matter the meta (excluding facing full AD teams with little to no CC).
Pnakotic1 voteswith the nerf of the swiftie, who can buy it over merc / tabi / sorcerer. That option is gone (55 ms is terrybad)
