Are Boots of Swiftness OP right now?
Hello,
I was recently looking at lolalytics, reviewing builds for a lot of champs, and almost every champ had boots of swiftness as their highest winrate boots, at least looking at Emerald+ (I am masters myself) I understand that we are overall in a roaming meta, even if the patch nerfed it a bit, and sometimes find the boots useful myself, but if the team as 3 AD damage champs I almost always get tabis, if they have 2+ MR and are CC heavy I prioritize tabis, and depending on champ will get boots of Lucidity fairly often.
Thresh +.6% over next - (I think they feel great on him) https://lolalytics.com/lol/thresh/build/
Senna +.5% - https://lolalytics.com/lol/senna/build/
Seraphine -.5% https://lolalytics.com/lol/seraphine/build/
Rell +1.9% https://lolalytics.com/lol/rell/build/
Naut +2.4 % https://lolalytics.com/lol/nautilus/build/
Lulu +1.9% https://lolalytics.com/lol/lulu/build/
Nami +1.8% https://lolalytics.com/lol/nami/build/
Leona Lucidity (small sample size) and Swifties outperform the tankier boots by 3% https://lolalytics.com/lol/leona/build/
Karma, who I think benifits from CDR More than any other support, still had swifties outperform lucidity by .3% https://lolalytics.com/lol/karma/build/
The one way I'd say the data might be slightly skewed is the fact that you bought switfties means you had to recall with 700 gold, and the enemy bot wasn't incredibly fed early in order for you to want to prioritize steelcaps/merc treads. Those boots benefit from there own skew in some ways too though.
Figured I'd ask here to see if there are any swifties enthusiasts, or just get the thoughts of others! What do y'all think? should swifties be picked more on a lot of champs/ be the 'default' boots for supports?
