He even complains about Sion’s stun but has Boots of Swiftness in his inventory. What the heck am I suppose to do with this guy? I showed him so much proof that it’s legitimately worse than other boots.

This video, although was not intended to prove this point, shows the amount you’d go farther with when you use Boots of Swiftness. Can you seriously say that’s better than Mercury’s Treads (25 magic resist + 35% CC reduction) or Ninja Tabi (25 armor + 10% reduced damage on autoattacks).

I’ve pretty much given up on my friend. If he prefers Boots of Swiftness so much that he continues to argue with legitimate proof that it’s not a good item, then I won’t continue to help him. His arguments are unreasonable, “I think if herd this lecture from drew id care more” (Drew is another friend of ours).

I hope someone else can learn from this at least. 

Boots of Mobility>Swiftness. Tell him to try it sometimes. You’ll only have the movement 2 while in combat (when that much moverment usually doesn’t matter much at all) and the movement 5 lets you get around the map even faster than Swiftness allows. But yeah, you should only be taking those if the other team is light on cc or if you require the mobility for roaming/ganking.

I have told him to try Boots of Mobility. I’ve recommended every other boots and he would not listen.

I used to grab Boots of Swiftness too, but then I realized that it felt like I had lvl 2 boots anyways and that I was wasting gold.

Get Boots 5 + Mvmt Quints + 4 points in utility tree. You’ll be all over the map. Hehehehe
