"So moving faster when you go and place wards and having no other use then walking 5% faster about 33% of the time,"

You're really, really under crediting just how useful an extra jolt of MS can be to early game. Riot gave every champ an extra 30 MS and nerfed boots at the begining of S3 simply because *everyone* went to lane with boots pots by the end of S2, it was just that useful.

It's not just about having the MS to ward quickly. Positioning in general is absolutely key duo bot, even as a support you need to be thinking about where you are so you can help your carry farm safely or harass or go all in. This helps to put yourself in a position where you can transition quickly from one plan to the other in a split second.
