1. I would never skip boots on anyone. They are basically free stats, whether you get the instant cdr from Ionian or the damage spike with sorcerers. There's nothing wrong with more mobility. However, there have been games where I traded my boots for a ludens or lichbane just because I had a ton of excess gold, but those are few and far between.

2. The movement speed has other uses other than backing off and kiting. You can use an orb to speed yourself up past minions and then charm someone in their face because they thought the minions made them safe. You can use it to make sure the true damage part hits your target or even better, multiple targets. And it can help you chase people down. Experiment and see how you can make use of it.

3. Here's the way I look at w vs e: you max w for yourself and you max e for your team.

In most cases, one second of cc should be more than enough for you to poke down someone and back off, or just outright kill them. Lets say you do max charm second. What could you do with that extra second of cc? Maybe an auto or two, but it doesn't do your damage capabilities any justice.

If you have a team that can follow up on charm, however, then it's a whole other story. 2 seconds of someone walking to you at that stage of the game is a guaranteed death sentence.

Personally, I'm selfish as all hell and don't trust my team, so I max w every game. Maybe once in a while I'll put one extra point in charm early, but every game it's w second for me.
