BoS vs Swiftness Quints

[quote=PsiGuard]Interesting points guys. I tend to agree with Urscythe and xLiqur on this one. Trojan: That's a nice suggestion. Force of Nature is my second main item, which is far too late for MS for my liking. I need Sunfire Cape earlier for the armor, health and aura.[/quote]

[quote=Searz]Well, I consider MS quints to be pretty bad on Malph..[/quote]

[quote=xLiqur]Ya malph shouldnt need it with his speed steal.[/quote]

[quote=PsiGuard][quote=xLiqur] Ya malph shouldnt need it with his speed steal. [/quote] Yeah, and Fiddlesticks doesn't need Abyssal b/c of his passive..... Granted, the bonus is multiplicative, but it's still compounding one of Malphite's strengths. It basically makes him super-mobile and near-impossible to outrun.[/quote]

[quote=Searz]Yea, but it's near useless in the lane --.-- And that's where Malph has the biggest problems..[/quote]

[quote=PsiGuard]Just played Malphite against noobswillownu as Kog'Maw. I got Boots of Swiftness (don't have quints yet) since they didn't have a ton of CC anyway. Believe me when I say it was NOT useless in lane. All of a sudden I could dodge every E and 75% of his ults, plus he couldn't harrass me with his W range b/c I could just skip out of range. Speed is also important for dodging skillshots and outrunning champions with temporary steriods (Kog's W). As soon as a gank is ready, it's great for fast initiation and quickly exiting tower range after a dive. This isn't even mentioning the simple mobility you get for moving around the map. The day I get QoS I will be a happy camper. EDIT: Forgot one thing. Like CDR and defense pen runes, MS quints are one of the best late-game runes. They're nice to have early, but they give you quite a big bonus late game, especially compared to fortitude or potency runes.[/quote]

[quote=Searz]Talking about QoS.[/quote]

[quote=PsiGuard]See earlier math in the thread. BoS=3 QoS at early levels. The bonuses of BoS can be gained with merc treads and QoS, so the argument is the same.[/quote]

[quote=Searz]You're missing my point, but I'm too lazy to write it --.-- Play as you like, you may notice that QoS/BoS are bad/worse later.[/quote]

[quote=PsiGuard]I assume you mean at higher levels quints of fortitude or resilience are more necessary for laning phase. That may be the case (I list them as options), but in my experience so far speed has been superior. My guide is always open to changes however.[/quote]
