Remove Ninja Tabi Then Balance the Game

Seeing as they're the best boot option on every champion, I think it's time Riot tried balancing around them not existing.

For real though, they warp the meta so much that everything depends on them at this point- it's why ADC has to be so broken, why tanks are invincible, why assassins/bruisers do fuck all once their opponent gets them, etc.

With their removal, Riot gets options for how to nerf ADCs, fix toplane laning phase, etc. and just solve a ton of problems.

In the very least, the other boots will actually be good since they're no longer completely outclassed.

They aren’t warping the meta, they are just the best for the meta just like how merc treads were back during the tank meta.

The meta is making adcs and ad damage strong so they are most used.

This is actually such a stupid post. The boots that are in the game help you adapt to playing. If they have a full ad comp, why would you go something else than Tabis? If they have a yi jg, a trynd top, and a jinx ADC, why would you go any other boots except tabis. They don't make them overpowered, just really good for that game. If they have an ez with iceborn gauntlet and a nasus, and you are a melee champ or a support, it's pretty smart to go swifties in order to not get kited like hell. Every boot option is good in its own way. And Ninja Tabi's are warping the meta, they are just good right now. Its like how (it was when they kinda changed the boots a bit) EVERYONE used to go Mobility boots because it was easier to roam around the map, or how everyone went swifties because it was good for the meta. Stop being ignorant por favor
