My jungling game has been brutally affected by this change. I can't get around quite as much as I used to. I didn't think it'd hurt that much. And I did try a few games with mobiboots just to see how it'd work out. I couldn't keep up in fights >:[
Actually, because of this MobiBoots Incident, I started to buy other boots, like Lucidity, sorcerer's, and once I run greaves on Thresh because we were ahead :D
Quite interesting options opened up because of this mess. At least in low games.
But as Riot said in notes - they will watch it "because it may put down some junglers" (or something like that). My guess is - if enough amount of players will cry they want that change reverted, they will do something about it.
But I still think after 4.3 there are actually 2 types of useless boots now, and supports have bigger variety to choose from.
MissMaw - sure, you can still ward/deward fast, and join a fight really soon... but then you are stuck in there with +25MS while everybody else got +45. And I don't think you want to run MS quints on support these days (even that wouldn't make up for it I guess).
Back on topic: Yeah these are trash now. Going from best boots to worst boots is not a good tradeoff. At least they didn't touch CDR boots like they were planning at first.
They literally killed this boots. Sure, you can stil come to the spot really fast (as a support or jungler), but then you have to flash away before everybody else on your team dies, so you have enough time to get to safety with your 400 MS.
If any suicidal maniac buys these boots after 4.3, well you have to either avoid all the fights, or make sure you win those encounters. Otherwise you DIE. :D
Is this the way how Riot wants us to start buying Boots of Swiftness? :D
If so, I'm gonna buy Mercs or Ninja, just in spite of that.
Such a stupid pointless nerf.

You no longer get in-combat boots; they're essentially boots of speed in combat. Everyone else will have advanced movement (at least 45 MS).
Essentially, yah what Kditten said. I miss mobi boots already.
this boots
HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG

No more super fast supports roaming the map ;(
...Why though?
Though it still works for my Teemo humor guide XD
