Movement Speed
What is Movement Speed?
 |
Movement speed is a champion statistic that tells you at what rate a champion travels across a map. Each champion starts the game with base movement speed, ranging from 325 (
 Anivia's and  Nautilus') to 355 (  Master Yi's and  Pantheon) units per second.This base movement speed can be increased by flat bonuses and percentage bonuses and reduced by slows. These effects can come from items, champion abilities, spells, masteries, runes or neutral buffs.This base movement speed can be decreased (  Slow
) by certain champion abilities or items; this hindrance is commonly referred to as
CC

How does Movement Speed Work?
 |
Q: How do movement modifiers work?
A: First, you have your base movement of say 325 and you buy Level 2 Boots. That's 370 movement. Then, you get 35% movement speed buff from items, runes or masteries: that 370 is multiplied by 1.35, which results in a total of 499.5 movement speed. If this is the only thing affecting your movement speed, the diminishing returns formula kicks in. Now, let's say you get slowed by 35% (  Frost Shot). What happens is your movement speed of 499.5 is multiplied by .65, and you are left with 324.67 movement speed. Because 325 is not above or below diminishing returns, you stay at that speed.

Q: What are these diminishing movement returns?
A: Any movement speed bonuses that would cause a champion's movement speed to exceed 415 are reduced by 20%. Any movement speed bonuses that would cause a champion's movement speed to exceed 490 are reduced by 50%. Above 415: (MS-415) *0.8 + 415 = total MS Above 490: (MS-490) *0.5 + 475 = total MS |
Increasing Flat Movement Speed
|
Purchasing boots from the store gives a champion a flat increase in movement speed. The effect given by boots is called Enhanced Movement. Enhanced Movement is unique, which means that if a champion was to buy multiple pairs of boots, they will only recieve the highest Enhanced Movement bonus.

Sure would, but the chapter says "Some Abilities that Affect Movement Speed" not "All Abilities" :)

Quoted:
Above 490: (MS-490) *0.5 + 475 = total MS
Wouldn't the formula be : Above 490: (MS-490) *0.5 + 490 = total MS ? If not, can someone explain me why ? |
