*All* homeguards should be disabled *not* just sorc boots.
You're screwing over people who use sorc boots. All homeguards need to be disabled to level the playing field.

The purpose was to minimize the impact. Granted, I was slightly upset when I tried to get homeguard on Diana, but it passed. I just got distortion for more aggressive flashes
It's not that bad, and to be honest, this isn't supposed to be normal in the first place.
I was also displeased with the general lack of mages home guard while everyone else was super fast and then I started to realize how overpowered and unbalanced it felt with the whole game. Not to mention you can teleport and not even be in your base 'guarding' it with an insane movement steroid for easy cleanup, it just just doesn't feel right, even when you kill someone in the base without any help from your kit and 200% movement positioning, it feels like 90% of the play is how home guard is used to initiate and the rest is worthless to the point where I've seen players defend a base with just repeated home guard movement assaults and 0 synergy with the team for a comeback.
Edit: as for this bug though the alternative is obviously more imbalance if it was really causing double (30) magic pen from the bug so there isn't much room to complain as that needs sorted out first
not really needed, because you can get +20 movement speed and if you run a combination of the two being ghost, flash, teleport you can go distortion- its not like it matters it will be fixed in a couple of days and it isnt even game breaking not having homeguards on your sorcs, what is game breaking though is have 30 pen on your sorcs instead of 15
They are trying to minimize impact: that means not screwing over every player who wanted to buy Homeguards, so they just bother the mages/Corki or whoever.
Look at it this way: you are the mid-lane mage. Your team is behind, losing, and fighting off enemies in the base. Homeguard is extremely helpful for this situation, and can help your team get back in the game. Are you telling me that you would rather not have at least SOME of your team have Homeguard, and would rather not have Homeguard at all just because YOU don't have it? Not many roles buy Sorc boots, I would probably say 4/5 champions in most games don't buy it.
I'm of the mind that it should not have been a problem in the first place. But bugs happen, and hopefully this will be fixed quickly. I suspect this is another case of "League's crappy old coding strikes again."
I for one am not playing any ranked while it's like this. It's honestly kind of ridiculous. if it was like, Captain boots or something, sure, okay- but Homeguard is the most popular boot enchant and has been for a long time and Sorc shoes are basically mandatory on numerous mids.
I can agree to this 100%
