early game item building tip

MFW the Zanium already said boots are usually bad.

minutes video in this economy genuinely could and should have been an email

Combat stats + 1st item powerspike > being a little faster earlygame.

meanwhile my adc buys gluttonous first item to "stack it faster"

Is there any consideration for if you are playing champs like Udyr/Trundle ect that have very low range? I sometimes like to have T1 boots to just be able to fight effectively but that might be wrong.

But isn't it often said that MS is secretly a very OP stat? I agree for the early game stuff, but you said here that you should not buy tier 2 boots on any champ unless there is a special reason wich seems off to me.

Does this apply to bruiser vs bruiser top lane? I've been out of the loop for a bit and not sure about the power level of tabi generally compared to 1st item spike. Especially curious about Renekton etc.

My thinking was that early boots in jungle increase the chance of successful ganks, which earn you money to completing your item faster. But perhaps the risk/benefit isn’t worth it.

Dagger also helps clear which means tempo too

I think I’d rather have boots than a long sword during a gank. Especially with an early game plan, where i want to make early game kills, i think boots are better. But rushing first item may be more reliable.

im playing a lot of (lethality) nocturne and it feels like there is never a good timing to buy boots. why would i want boots over cyclosword ? over axiom arc ? over edge of night, bastion breaker, a %pen item, GA ????? like my champ is fast enough they dont matter at all

boots dont do damage

well old school league you always wanted boots first

Maybe it's just because he's an Hecarim main and it makes boots a bit better to buy than on other champs because of the passive ?
