Boots of Swiftness when your ahead.

[quote=Mofolycs]Your boots depend on the style of player you are, the champion you picked, and the role you're attempting to fill. Let's use Ashe for these examples. If you're going for a carry role you need the IAS from berserkers for team fights and more damage. If you're playing a ganker you should pick up the BoS for movement and slowing. This also depends on your team comp, which we all know in ranked/random games can get pretty weird. If your team has a ridiculous amount of damage but not much CC, you would want to pick up BoS for the shear fact that you can run around and slow for your team, which would turn you into more of a support. Now, if your team can protect you but doesn't throw out a lot damage you need berserkers for the IAS. These are just a few examples, which can be put into context for every AD hero.[/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]Well, no, you should basically never pick up Boots of Swiftness. It's MUCH better to pick up another MS item that can fit into your core build like Force of Nature, Lich Bane, Phantom Dancer, or Trinity Force, or just run 21 utility, or take movespeed quints. Other boots will always outshine movespeed boots.[/quote]

[quote=JunSupport]If I'm ahead, I stack [[B. F. Sword]]s, or rush a [[Rabadon's Deathcap]].[/quote]

[quote=Trojan995]BoS are never good. Ever. Movespeed quints are surprisingly awesome, buy them and use them.[/quote]

[quote=Adovid]Again, I am only thinking about this in terms of being a few levels ahead and already having enough money after bos to approach something like a BF sword or a needlessly large rod. The increased move speed is useful and underrated in my opinion because of the fact that I believe they only work on certain heros or that they require a level advantage. [[Greater Quintessence of Swiftness]] will only go halfway toward lvl 3 boots from lvl 2 boots(8-10 move speed) with 3 of them, I would use them if I had Quickness as well but they still can't compare to the other Quints like [[Greater Quintessence of Desolation]].[/quote]

[quote=Searz]Avovid, %MS increases scale WITH boots. 3 MS quints=16.65MS with 300base and lvl2 boots. Still, Boots of Swiftness aren't bad, just.. meh. They're rarely worth getting, but in some cases they may be.[/quote]

[quote=Adovid]Oh yeah my math was off. I recalled from a calculation I made for 2 Quints instead of 3. >.<[/quote]

[quote=Adovid]If you stay ahead by being in more situations for kills and assists and out of situations which would get you killed, it's not really just spending money-- you could have bought [[the brutalizer]] and [[berserker's greaves]] and run [[greater quintessence of swiftness]] for the same move speed 2 item slots and 5 more armor penetration. Or you could have run [[boots of swiftness]] for 1 item slot with the 25 armor penetration with [[greater quintessence of desolation]] for the same move speed and had the option of getting a [[zeal]] or a [[recurve bow]] for the same price as [[the brutalizer]] to match the attack speed of [[berserker's greaves]].[/quote]

They're really not worth it compared to other boots on any other champion. @Adovid, you say when you're ahead you should get the boots to be in more situations to get more kills and assists, but what's to say other boots won't do the same? Won't [[mercury's treads]] avoid getting you killed so you don't lose your lead? Or maybe they'll give you the advantage in a 1v1 situation to get another kill? On [[ashe]], would you rather have more attack speed from [[berserker's greaves]] to be able to kite more easily, or would you rather just move faster? I don't see how being ahead makes BoS better than other boots - [[boots of swiftness]] are sub-par in every situation.[/quote]
