Fae boots are an alternative to mobility for roaming, and specifically at supports. I could concede making it so the bonus is only lost while in combat with champions, or only when taking damage, or maybe like spellthief's (turns off if you kill minions). I thought the effect was strong enough when compared to other boots, at least.
