Nice idea but not practical. Not so much the daily part - this could be run biweekly for smoother tournies. IMO, it could just be a specific queue you enter in with one of your ranked 5s teams, and everyone would start at 1k ELO. You'd queue and play games during the week, raising your team's ELO for that tournament. After a one week first phase, the next phase would consist of the top ten teams for each "ELO Bracket" facing each other in a BO3 bracket-type format to make it to the finals. The top three teams could receive some reward, such as IP or an IP-Boost/Rune page (obviously higher brackets would be higher rewards - for example, platinum bracket would receive a free skin code, or a considerable amount of IP/RP). This would give incentive for teams to not smurf, and actually play at their proper ELO brackets (these could be determined by solo queue rating, or a two week "trial phase" before the actual tournies start, or just having different "sub-tourneys" that the teams could buy in to. For example, I could pay more IP or RP to buy into a gold or platinum level tourney to try and reap higher rewards, but obviously it'd be a lot harder). The platinum finals game could be casted by two community casters or RIot casters. Overall, I think this would definitely encourage competitive play and an incentive to make a ranked team and participate. | ||

If you're in the jungle farming most of the time or camping one lane most of the game, they're not really necessary to get around. They're the best on Skarner because Mobo + W + Reverie = YOU'LL NEVER ESCAPE. I can also remember how fun mobility boots were on Rammus. I guess with the whole focus on blinks instead of just plain mobility Rammus isn't that strong anymore. Oh and the nerfs. Don't forget the nerfs. | ||

Why would they be so "sub optimal". For lategame they almost always are, regardless of champ. Merc treads are so expensive earlygame for a jungle, in my experience, and not having at least boots2 sucks. | ||

People don't buy tabi because mercs are better but people don't sell mobility because mercs are too expensive huehue Weird logic but thats how it works out a lot. | ||

Either that or very suspicious "gg..." timing. On September 18 2012 02:34 JackDino wrote: I laugh at junglers who dont replace their mobility boots for mercs/tabi when teamfighting breaks out. It varies. Much of the time you don't want to do it at the first sign of teamfights because it's not worthwhile. Later on in the game you usually do. | ||

Merc treads are so expensive earlygame for a jungle, in my experience, and not having at least boots2 sucks. Because Nunu is already like 450 movespeed with Bloodboil and can then permaslow, Cho doesn't really gain much from the out of combat movespeed, Olaf gains very little from them since you struggle to be durable out of the jungle and the minute amount of times that you'll get to q chain just from mobility boots is outweighed by the other boots, and Mundo has his ult for speed + mercs stacking with W. Point of boots 5 is for hard imitators to close the gap and take advantage of positional mistakes. | ||

It's the same reason as why not to run them on Nunu, IMO. You already have a great MS buff, you can permaslow... why mobility boots? Edit: what are you watching this ELOBLADE vs M5 game on? I'm curious, I was wondering if FLord's new team would amount to anything, or be "FLord+4 guys" | ||
