Views: 4940 [TOPLANE] Zephyr+Triforce is a viable replacement of boots.
|
Movement speed
Trinity force + Zephyr gives more movespeed than any boots(apart from mobility boots out of combat, but even then this combination should be able to closely compete with them).
What about the specific boots bonuses?








What is required:
- A champion who can benefit from both
Trinity Force and
Zephyr. Because of this, most AP champions are out of question. But i can imagine it working well on
Diana and a few hybrid champions.
- A legitimate flat movement speed. Even though
Zephyr and
Trinity Force are both viable for [[Teemo], he is fully reliant on % movement speed boosts already. As you probably know, Flat movement speed scales well with % movement speed, vice versa.
Zephyr and
Trinity Force only give 250 Health together. Health is needed. I like
Kindlegem as an early item for most champions.
Cons
- Gap for movement speed. Expensive movement speed. Because of this Movement speed Quints are definetaly an option on all champions.
- Forced into item build. If either
Trinity Force or
Zephyr aren't built before midgame wou will find yourself kited hard. Because of this, having a pair of
Boots can greatly help you if you don't find the farm necessary for this combination. Since they are so cheap, you can always sell them mid- lategame.

As explained earlier, this build should give more mobility, damage and survivability than any of the boots builds.
Irelia is one of the more obvious cases since she greatly benefit's from both
Trinity Force and
Zephyr. Do you see that damage?

TONS of damage and incredibly tanky.
I'd just buy boots early and replace them late game. You can even get trinity+zephyr+tabi or something and just be really fast, selling boots for a 6th item later on if you need more durability. It's an interesting idea though.
A champion who can benefit from both Trinity Force and Zephyr.
So, nobody? Why would you build 7k gold worth of items instead of buying 350 gold boots?
Please read atleast 1 Word from the original post Before complaining.

Of course
:3
Doesn't matter since Trinity force is so strong on itself. You don't need to wait 6.7k gold since every Component (Zeal/Phage/Sheen) are more or less viable on most champions. Zephyr is pretty damn weak Before it's fully built, but atleast it's cheap.
Why does Darius benefit from this? Wouldn't he get kited reeeaaallllly hard with a lot amount of MS?
Basically if he has a lot of MS he gets kited LESS. Since being kited means not being able to show your full potential in a fight because of lack of range. wtf?
He benefit's well from
:3
Why would I get merc treads, when I can just get zephyr and get the tenacity? honestly, people don't buy mercs for the magic resist.
The entire point of this is that both of these items are viable on a variety of champions and end up giving more movespeed. Think about it, it's definitely viable if you just take a minute to think.
Bitpik said that it's fine to buy boots and sell them late due to their low cost, which makes sense.
