If you're playing ranked and you don't start boots 3 pots, chances are you will be the prime target for ganks, assuming you're going in lane. make no mistake, starting longsword might make give your Q extra damage, but your enemy will be able to sustain with their potions (The common top lane starting items are cloth armor +5 or boots +3) and you can get screwed with just one gank. you'll have to jump to one person and flash away to escape. Trust me, if I play a jungler and I see a top lane without boots, I will gank as soon as i hit lv 2.
