    im gonna give a hot take here: the flaming team (almost) always looses. i dont think its the boots beeing such a power boost, i think the fact you lost so much originates in people beeing mad about not haveing them. imo, i could 1v1 and teamfight well against upgreated boots. and i play singed who is heavily reliant on ms.

    I am not willing to die on this hill. Maybe the boots are op, but i really dont feel that.

      I don’t think the boots are OP (well, most of them at least) but swifties, merc threads and tabis do get pretty nice upgrades. You’re probably right but I personally don’t understand Riots design choice here. Why go for a mechanic that’s going to lead to so much toxicity and throwing after cracking down on those things so hard with other stuff (the mute options, default disabled all chat, quick bans, etc.). They’ve even stated that they wanted to reduce snowballing before and this is the exact opposite of that.

      I can’t imagine playing a jungle now, they already had a lot of responsibility before and it’s only gotten more intense. I saw people rage quitting over their jungler missing smite, insane.

        I’m starting jungling now, this will definitely be a challenge. Will probably post my progress
