I usually go for boots, but I know many people who just go off and rushing items. It mostly depends on the situation. But I believe boots are almost always going to help you in a positive way, most of the time. I prefer boots because if you know what you are doing, you won't be needing to build things against the person you are laning with unless you are reallllllllly failing hard.

Here's what I start with, and what I'd USUALLY end up buying on a typical lane.

Meki Pendant -> Tear of the Goddess, or Sheen -> Boots -> Core item

Sapphire Crystal -> Catalyst the Protector, or Sheen -> Boots -> Core item

Any doran's item -> Boots -> Core item

What Jun said, I usually don't upgrade my boots until I feel the need for it. If I'm playing Kassadin, for example, I won't bother to get boots until I at the very least finish my RoA, considering how mobile I am with my Riftwalk.

If I'm playing a roamer, or just a generally immobile champ, I'll usually get them after a HoG/Philo/Core item. I don't really like rushing the boots, but each man to his own, I guess.

When you recall for the first time, what do you prioritize in your buy? Do you rush that first core item or do you go components and boots? How early do you finish level 2 boots?

Certain items obviously have priority over others. For example, if it comes down to buying Boots or buying Tear of the Goddess, 9 times out of 10, you want to rush Tear before Boots to get that early game momentum. Same with, say, Catalyst. But when else? On a jungler, do you want Razors for jungle speed, even if it means giving up Boots for those fast ganks?


I try to recall when i have cash for my 1st item.
Usualy it is 1100g for sorc boots, or tear/fiendish.
or cash for other boots if i am not playing mage.
On tanks i try to recall when i have cash for Giant belt.

Ofc you cant predict that fully...

As an expirience from dota.. i tend to put all on mobility > everythign else.
