Just a general curiosity, what level do you guys tend to get boots/upgraded boots?
I feel its kind of a key thing since no mobility means bad ganks but doing it too early sacrifices your clearing speed fairly badly.
EDIT: Should point out I am buying boots after first back, then upgrading around 2nd buff time as people start to roam more, however I will happily point out that I suck xD
If you have MS quints boots should be the 3rd of 4th item, if not the 2nd item IMO
Really depends on which jungle I'm playing honestly. If they don't have a move speed steroid I will typically buy on 1st or 2nd back.
I'll usually try to get tier one boots either after my completed jungle item or at some point during building my enchantment since there are some instances where some extra mobility would help me more than the finished product. It really kinda comes down to how much gold I have on hand when backing. If I've got enough for a dagger or two but not enough to finish Devourer's, for instance, I might just get a dagger and boots so I can roam and clear a bit faster a bit earlier.
If I'm doing well personally, I'll sit on tier one boots for another item or so. If I'm keeping even I'll usually try to finish my boots then to increase my roaming/defensive potential, and if I'm playing someone like Elise or Diana I pretty much HAVE to get Sorc Boots as my second item.
Boots for a jungler really come down to what you need at that moment, and for the next few minutes of a match, versus what would you be giving up. Finishing my Boots of Swiftness on Rammus, for instance, may increase my ability to roam but it isn't doing as much for my defenses as spending that gold on the Chain Mail component of a Sunfire Cape. If I think I can get away with it, I'll do it. If I'm worried, I won't.
i try to get boots on my final base before i get my ult. you'll want to be assisting a lane once you hit 6, so the boots are sure to be to useful. i sometimes get boots on my 1st or 2nd back if i'm able to get a few early kills or assists.
always get tier 1 first back assuming you had enough after you knock your machete up 1 notch. Tier 2 boots after you finalize your jungle item, which should be the first full item built. UNLESS you are using a high mobility champ, then I tend to get tier 2 after i complete my second full item.
