Ganking. Usually assassins like Talon or Zed pick them up.

Basically mobis are really attractive because they are by far the cheapest T2 boots in the game right now. Uprgrading to Mobis only costs 475g while most other upgrades are around 800g. I think people might port back to base with just a little bit of gold, they see mobis, and think "what the hey" and just buy them.

It's supposed to be for roaming and ganking before an MIA ping does any good; Kat just failed terribly at it and fed instead.

This is what's meant by "the mobility creep."

This seasons meta is all about mobility, makes sense to me.

Looking at your match history I see exactly one instance of mobo boots on a non-jungler/support and it's on a Kat. You just had a bad mid laner, that's all.

AD mid laners pretty much have to choose between Mobility, Merc and CDR Boots. Roam heavy AP mid laners, especially when in a bad lane, may opt to get mobos.
