Granite Boots, item idea.

[quote=gero yamaza]Decent idea imo, I just think to "balance" it to all the people crying out there would be editing a couple champions ults to ignore these boots? I mean, they are ultimates, so they should be worthy of the title. Other question for me is, would these boots include knockbacks along with knockups Duff? Because adding in Knockbacks adds a whole different addition of skills into play.[/quote]

[quote=HuntrKilr]Imagine a qss that has zero cooldown. With these boots, cho'gath, malphite, orianna, alistar, and nautilus would have a spell that does nothing to you.[/quote]

[quote=NicknameMy]I think remove the [[flash]] summoner spell and bring back the yordle boots would be better. Other than that, I don't think HP on boots would be good enough to buy on some champs, you will still buy treads and tabis, because these HP boots cost too much. More interesting boots would be armorpen boots, ad boots or even ap boots. Or spellshield boots (so an spellshield with 30 seconds cooldown to selfactivate like [[sivir]] or [[nocturne]]) could be really funny. Or combine your boots with the spell shield.[/quote]

[quote=Slappiz][quote=DuffTime] The whole point is to counter pop ups. Lawl. I'm not gonna release new boots just because HP on a boot would be cool. :P I don't think the Granite boots are completely OP. Pop ups are one small part of the game. If your boots are 100% to counter pop ups, that's a serious investment, when you consider there aren't too many of those. If you have some good slows, Anivia or Sejuani or Ashe, and a champ like Malphite or Cho, and some stuns or whatnot, you can quickly start to force your enemy to pick merc treads or Granite boots, and either one will be very good. I really don't consider the passive to be OP. [/quote] Yey Janna, Malphite and Alistar pretty much useless! Worst item idea ever imo.[/quote]

[quote=Embracing]It would completely change how people pick team comps Brings competitive play one step ahead Don't think it's that OP but I think maybe a Cd (not so high) might be good.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime][quote=NicknameMy] because these HP boots cost too much. [/quote] Single item counters should be expensive, so yes, they are intentionally over priced for their effect. [quote=Slappiz] Yey Janna, Malphite and Alistar pretty much useless! Worst item idea ever imo. [/quote] Before you start in with the sarcasm and say simple minded things, please offer your explanation for QSS countering Malz and WW ulti?

Because adding in Knockbacks adds a whole different addition of skills into play. [/quote] Nope, no editing of the sort. Malz, WW, Urgot, and Skarner all have ults that are countered by QSS. As previously stated, this encourages REAL team compositions. Right now people lean towards pop ups and things like that because well, they can't be countered. Institution of an item like this creates a place for slows and snares by giving the player the liberty to decide which type of effect he wants to counter. Also, tenacity items like cloak and dagger might finally be worth purchasing.

[/quote] Not a bad idea. I'm not sure it's necessary, but it's a thought. Give it a small bubble like Banshee's veil that only works towards pop ups. The only issues are that's underpowered as fuck, and those boots would have to cost like 900 gold, and it also does nothing to fix the "Pop up" comp trend we've been seeing. TBH the people screaming these boots are OP have probably just never played a premade in their life and don't care about legitimately balanced team compositions.[/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]Not a bad idea...I think it could be balanced a little better, but the huge cost sort of makes up for the complete counter of a type of ability. EDIT: Am I the only person who really hates that TF's ult will pop a banshee's? for some reason that just pisses me off.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]lol![/quote]

[quote=animorte]I can't believe this is still going on. It's simple. Every day, people sacrifice at least one slot for countering some enemy champion (unless you are facerolling them and literally need nothing else).[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]Yeah I didn't expect so much simple minded thinking TBH, but that's fine :P[/quote]
