Mobility creep

Mobility creep is a huge factor in why season 7 games are so early game oriented. Because of mobility creep, it's super easy for champions to roam bot and get a snowball started.

Every champion in the game needs one of two things (or both): Crowd Control or Mobility. Look at some of the recent champion releases:

was probably the most overloaded release that Riot has done in the last few years. Not only because of her crazy mobility (mostly from her E), but because both her E and her Ult have damage and CC mixed in with them.

may not have much mobility, but he does get a burst of movement speed from his crits. Adds to mobility creep.

's E lets him walk through walls, and that does count as mobility. Also, his Q is a dash.

gets movement speed just by walking near walls, and can ride a stone wall all the way down to botlane.

can literally E across half of the map and bring a lane-wide star with him.

's ult gives his ENTIRE team a huge burst of movement speed.

had only a movement speed buff pre-rework, and now he has a dash and an ult with a pretty big range.

had only one form of mobility pre-rework (however cancerous), but now he has a dash on his Q and Ult, and has a huge ass burst of movement speed.

All new releases (excluding Ivern) have had some mobility in their kits, and it's driving immobile champions, excluding overtuned ones (see: Syndra), out of the meta slowly IMO. For example, immobile mages like are being outclassed by mages like and because they have the ability to roam more effectively. For this same reason, marksman like who rely on their team to carry are doing poorly because they have to face champions like who have a lot of mobility and can prevent being one shot by assassins (during the assassin meta).

When mobility is mixed with hard CC, it becomes chaos (see: release ), hence why people hate playing vs .

People need to realize that damage creep isn't the ONLY problem; mobility creep is a HUGE part of it.
