User blog:Sevenix/Boots of Swiftness Vs Boots of Mobility

Seeing Dominons release a lot of people seen the use of fast movementspeed on the battlefield. As such a lot of people started using Boots of Mobility or Boots of Swiftness, so I decided to make some calculations on both, to see how they stand relative each other.

I dont draw any conclusions as items in League of Legends are all situational, I merely present some math and which should help you make a better choice for your gameplay.

'''--- 310 base --- Boots of Swiftness''' 310 + 90 = 400 400/310= 1,29 = 29% faster than base

-Boots of Mobility 310 + 130 = 400 + (40*0.8=32,0) = 432 432/310 = 1,39 = 40% faster than base

-'Enhanced Movement 5' Superiority 432/400 = 1,08 = 8% faster than boots of swiftness

--- 325 base --- -Boots of Swiftness 325 + 90 =400 + (15*0.8=12,0) = 412 412/325 = 1,267 = 27% faster than base

-Boots of Mobility 325 + 130 =400 + (55*0.8=44,0) = 444 444/325 =1,366 = 37% faster than base

-'Enhanced Movement 5' Superiority 444/412 = 1,077 = 8% faster than boots of swiftness

Keep in mind, that boots of mobility only gives you the 8% faster while you are out of combat, once you get hit your speed drops to to movementspeed 2 (+70). With 310 base that means 380 movementspeed

With 310 base this means 310+70=380 movementspeed 380/432 = 0,879 = 89% relative Enhanced Movement 5 compared to boots of swiftness 380/412 = 0,92 = 92% relative Enhanced Movement 3

Also, Getting boots of mobility increases your chances of reaching the second softcap at 490 movementspeed, reducing any additional movementspeed bonuses by 50%.
