Remove speed from zeal and its items

Marksmen should not have any more mobility besides what their kits may offer and boots; kiting should be about range advantage not range and speed advantage.

So many marksman have inherent mobility tools anyways (cait has a net, lucian has a dash, jhin goes sanic on crits, etc.)

In fact, ADCs are the only class in this game that can skip boots altogether without losing much (build phantom dancer in lieu of berserkers greaves) in terms of speed and actually gain way more than what boots could have offered.

Tanks and juggernauts and most mages don't have such luxuries. Defense boots are a must for tanks/juggs no matter what and mages need either sorc/ionians since the main ap/speed item (luden's echo) kind of sucks ass.

The base movement speed of ranged champions is utter crap and they have no MR scaling and most boots they build provide little additional MS. Also, melee champions have access to tools that enable them to maintain their MS advantage over ranged champions. And it's rather easy for a melee champion to kite a ranged champion in all honesty. You just have to not be dumb enough to walk in a straight line toward them, announcing your presence upon arrival before you can even touch them with any of your abilities.
