Ey, how're ya? Glad to hear it/sorry to hear that.
I've been using this for a while now, and I never see anyone using it because #gottagofast, but the times I use it are usually when it really does help. So we'll dive right in. Boot enchantments. Pretty much every pair of boots you see enchanted has Homeguard on it, but is it always the best choice? I normally only buy homeguard if there is a need for mass pushing or if our base is getting infiltrated really early. Alacrity I use only if I feel I just need a teency bit more speed all around (typically on Sejuani's MOBA's), Furor I use for when I am constantly chasing people down because I'm so fed (Darius, Xin, etc.), Captain I would never use unless my teammates/minions really need that extra boost, and homeguard I use in pretty much any other situation. Distortion, however, I use if the game is going on late and I feel my summoners' are a vital key to victory. Sure there's a speed boost, but the cooldown on Flash, along with my masteries, is extremely helpful.
Just curious as to what you guys think about the enchantments, which you use, and when you use them. :)

TBH the two best enchantments are distortion and homeguard. The other are just trash compared to them in most cases. I take distortion every time I have ghost and flash or tp and flash. I take it when I seem to flash often but do not have another spell it enhances. Homeguards if I do not get them.

Distortion is nice if you feel that you NEED to have flash, ghost, or tele. Tele typically is only worth it if you go top, which can ensure a dragon or a gank bot, so in this case it is good if you are winning your lane. Ghost is only used if it accents your already strong spells and are needed to chase/flee both of which I would argue are sloppy and you could be doing better with ignite or flash as it is almost always better than ghost. Flash is your get out of jail free card which is always good and can be great if you need it to initiate or do something in particular. Take that for what you will but I pref alacrity or furor. All it is doing is potentially enabling something good
dunno about him, but I grab Enchantment: Alacrity with Mobility Boots sometimes as it makes the reduced movement speed nearly the same as normal boots 2.

Alacrity will buy you the most time in the long run but furor is better if you can kite. I would take alacrity on pretty much everybody that can't kite optimal manner. I would take furor for the likes of Vayne/sivir styled characters, but if I am more caster oriented alacrity is almost always the way to go. AA's or furor based. As for Captain it is inferior to all of the other enchsnments most of the time (Thanks for the clarity Nameless.)

Another good point, but that also means that it can be optimal on initiators.
The only way that'll matter on an initiator is if they're running back toward their team, because usually they won't be facing their team when they initiate.
The only champion I've seen with any real amount of synergy with it is
Soraka and that's because Salvation gives her a stronger version of it on herself when moving towards low health allies.It can be used for splitpushing, sort of, but there are better options than it in most situations.
