*NEW*-Boot Active's!

Okay, so they are probably not really happening any time soon... But, this is such a great idea that I think it can serve as a springboard to an evolved state that potentially could be added to the game and make it that much more fun. Having boots take up a slot is usually necessary but can at times seem like it is wasting a slot and are sold for something else. Let me kick off this thread with my own 'Active' idea per boot type.

I think that the active would be best as a 4th tier option.  I wanted to keep things simple and hopefully expand on each idea until it grows into a 'this could be really cool and in the game someday' kind of thing.  These first ideas may seem simple and obvious and it is probably best we begin as so.  

                                                                                ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

item 3006 Upon activation, attack speed is increased by X-amount for X-seconds. 60 second CD. The visual would be small gust of wind with a 'whoosh' sound on basic attacks.

item 3117 Upon activation, instantly gains max speed boost for X-seconds. 90 second CD. The visual would be a tiny explosion from the boots that then begin to crackle and zap with energy until the end of the effect.

item 3009 Upon activation, breaks slows and becomes immune to them for X-seconds. 120-second CD. The visual for this would add small wings to the Champions boots for the duration of the effect.

item 3158 Upon activation, gains 10%CDR for 10-seconds. 120-second CD.

item 3111 Upon activation, breaks free from all CC and increases Magic resist by x_amount for 5-seconds. 150-second CD. The visual would be a small burst of light that leaves a low glow for the effect accompanied with the visual of 2 chain links snapping.

item 3047 Upon activation, returns 70% damage mitigated back to attacker for 10-seconds. 60-second CD.

item 3020 Upon activation, increases total AP by 10% for 6-seconds. 120-second CD. The visual would cause the boots to glow with purplish energy and maybe even cause a slight hum.

These are just a few ideas to get this conversation started. Please contribute as you wish. Thank you. Take care.

Do you think Riot has thought of having, or have they had, this Boot active implemented into the game. Why would it or why would it not be a most excellent addition to the game? The one that makes me want to activate it the most is, item 3117 It would be pretty interesting to have a speed boost available on some squishier champions. Though it would be somewhat a mini-form of summoner 6 it really would be making its passive available in combat. IT could grant a slow immunity for a few seconds....

I just want to say, I LOVE THIS IDEA. That being said, I think that maybe Berserker's Greaves could be more interesting, like gaining attack speed for distance traveled over a period of time, and maybe changing Ionian Boots of Lucidity's active to an instantaneous reduction on the last three spells cast. (Perhaps by 10-20%) I absolutely love the idea of boot actives, especially as it would give more reason to purchase boots, and different types of boots. What if the actives were tied to purchasing the enchantment?

A lot of these are broken as shit, some are fairly useless, not a good thing to add.
