OMG finally! This was the absolute worst. As a Support you'd get them for roaming and of course you clear wards along the way, but because you lose your speed you become easy to catch and kill. It's part of why I stopped using Mobi's and went Swiftness 95% of the time.
I really hope this makes it to live. (PBE changes are tentative)

That'll make it to live.

EndlessSorcerer18 votesDoes this also apply to the out-of-combat movement speed from the Wanderer mastery and Cloud Dragons?
Even if it doesn't, it's definitely a nice change.
RiotMeddler11 votesI don't believe it does at present, we can probably still get that in for the same patch though, will find out. Being a bit more consistent about 'what puts you into combat' certainly has some value.
PBnJelly1 votesI thought attacking a ward doesn't count as being in combat for cloud drag. Unless I'm remembering things wrong, the visuals from cloud drag stay even while attacking a ward. It's actually why I wasn't surprised to see the mobi boots change now that they were buffed and are becoming more popular. I thought you guys were already making the 'what puts you into combat' consistency with that change.
ltmetal2 votesIn Patch 4.3, Mobi boots were reduced to the lower end of the price spectrum for tier 2 boots (200g price decrease) and had their in-combat movespeed changed from 45 to 25 in order to make them a better option for supports. Is there any chance that this change will one day be reverted?

No because if you compare 
to 
boots you see why they did it. Especially now that are no longer 60 MS. It's a trade off and was removed for a reason.
A Basic Island1 votesAny chance we will ever see mobility boots get any sort of buff? Something to like the in combat movement speed, or only turning off for champion combat, or lowering the ramp time for non champion combat?
With its current state they feel so gross to use and even with champions that would like them, it feels like just defaulting to the better of the two defensive options is best most of the time.

Discount Milk2 votesI don't think I See many ADC players build Duskblade, outside of the occasional jhin player. D:
But, I do agree with you. Support needs more mobility love.
DarkRitual1 votesDuskblade saw some use in the Koreans build of Miss Fortune a couple patches ago. Ghostblade, Cleaver, then Duskblade was the build then, but it was more lane matchup situational than Lucian's Ghostblade/Cleaver build was.
Discount Milk1 votesThat's one champion out of 20? marksman champions. 1/20 is not many.

Discount Milk1 votesWell, riot renamed "ADC" as "Marksman", and that's what I was referring to.
Xenos111113 votesHey just another idea for a small QoL Mobi buff. Their interaction with 
is really annoying, since it triggers every time you walk near an enemy minion. Could you make it so the Cinder burn doesn't count as being in combat if it's only applied to minions?
Johnaldinho10171 votesHey just another idea for a small QoL Mobi buff. Their interaction with
Please god no that is a complete nerf to the item as one of the items best uses was the fact it kept you in combat for the grasp of the undying. Taking that out nerfs cinder and you shouldn't be building cinder on support champions for the majority of the time
Troll for Trump1 votesWould Talisman(+Point Runner) + Mobi boots be too mobile?
Pika Fox2 votesHonestly i wish theyd buff swifties back and remove mobi losing speed buff from jungle mobs.
Dracpro1 votesI'm so happy this is happening. And I love how this is what support mains get excited about.
Sagan Forever1 votesWoot
Seraphize1 votesPeople still buy those on supports? I only buy them on roam-heavy assassins 
and such. will just be better unti it becomes something like its lost when you take damage or decrease the time it takes to activate
MisterShameless1 votesThresh and blitzcrank come into mind for mobi buyers.
Zarkkast3 votesYou must be late to the party. After the nerfs to Boots of Swiftness it's hardly worth it on anyone anymore.
You're better off buying Mercury Threads.
Ralimak1 votesUnless they have a bunch of non-slow cc, Boots of Swiftness' slow resist is still more effective than the tenacity from Merc Treads.
Zarkkast3 votesNo, not really.
After the nerfs Swiftness only gives 55 movement speed, only 10 in comparison with Merc Treads. With the removal of alacrity this small difference is even less noticeable.
Also, it gives a reduction in effectiveness of 25% to slows, while Merc Treads gives 30% tenacity which makes the slow wear down faster. Why would you want that 90% slow to be a 70% slow when you can have it be completely gone 0.5 seconds earlier with Merc Treads?
So basically Boots of Swiftness is only a good buy if you're against someone who can consistently apply small slows, such as an Ashe/Braum bot lane.

Everything that its on PBE goes to live anyway. PBE is just for skin spotlights
SlashStriker1 votesafcourse its suppose to lose its passive when attacking wards. Its a furious ward battle
SOLOQSUPERHERO1 votesHonestly this is a super important buff and I'm REALLY glad its finally happening. GJ Rito
Colgate Gator1 votes[internally squeals]
71883083DEL11 votesYeah, attacking wards pretty much used to count as 'in combat'. I'm glad they fixed it!
Apollogy1 votesAnd now swifties only give you 10 more movespeed than traditional boots. Like... what's the point?
Cloud drake is supposedly useless unless you have 3 stacks giving 45 movespeed out of combat. Why get swifties unless you need the slow resist passive? And merc tread's tenacity gives a nearly equal passive anyway.
A 25% less effective slow or a slow that lasts 30% less time? -_-
DREADN0UGHT1 votesehh. tbh, I still like Swifties over mercthreads in certain cases.
Sukishoo1 votesI on most supports these days.
