20 more movespeed that is also further increased by %MSpd.

20-25 MSpd can EASILY make the difference between escape and death.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

Which is absolutely useless regardless of the situation, as it is outshined by zerks in an offensive situation (ashe) and by mercs in a defensive situation. Ghost, flash and other ms buffs make boots 3 a burden on the character who is forced to steer away from boots that provide actually useful stats.

MS quints are what you get if you need to chase ppl down in the early-midgame, such as on udyr.

Who wants swifties anyways tho? Even if your character doesn't use zerks and you don't need mercs you have cdr and mp boots that will outshine them.

Mercs don't save you if you die as soon as someone touches you. Swifites, barely escaped from that rupture? Ow shit the guy with Mercs didnt make it. Akali just barely out of range for her R? Ow shit the guy with Mercs is too close.
There are PLENTY of situations where Swifties > Merc for survival, especially on long range champs.
Swifties also have offensive qualities on champs that want to squeeze skillshots past the tank line because you just get into a better position faster.
They are a great chasing tool on some champs, especially those who continuously attack while chasing. Unlike Mobilities you get the higher movespeed even while in combat.
Ghost and other MSpd buffs have a greater effect if you have Swifties instead of some other T2 boots.

I like Swifties on Ashe very much. They go perfectly with my Volley spam. I also like them on Poppy because it allows me to get that E off in a good spot (and I also run MSpd quints and masteries, which further amplifies the effect). Other than those 2 I don't think I use them very much. I guess if I played Singed I would get them at times.

They might be the "worst" boots in the game under whatever definition, but they certainly have their place. I sure wouldn't mind them being a bit cheaper though :p

I buy swifties more often than zerkers (there are so many items that give ASPD that i don't see the point of buying zerkers, unless for like ... early game where you don't get any other aspd items?) or ninja tabi (which i buy for jax and only jax)

Oh lol Ninja Tabi. I even forgot that those exist. There is no way for Swifties to be worse than Tabi.

Why does Zilean need swifties? CDR boots gives you E more often while also scaling into everything else.

yeah anivia was one i forgot, shes one thats just so fucking slow that she needs the ms

i get it only sometimes on zil, but mostly because i cant tell you how many times ive been running towards a teammate to ult them, only to be barely out of range. mybe im just lucky/crazy, but i feel like when i run swifties that happens less often
