That's not what I'm saying at all; I'm saying that I've found them to work the best, so I'm going to stick to using them. If you find mobis to work better for your playstyle, more power to you.

I just don't like being condescended to, as if I don't know how to play the champ. :(

Also, Merc treads on sona in Plat plus have a 1.2% higher win rate than mobis, though swifties and sorcs are both slightly higher still.

They're definitely a solid option, although probably more situational than other boots (albeit a situation that comes up a lot as sona).

And idk, tenacity is a distinct and valuable stat separate from magic resistance, so it seems kind of reductionist to say that you're gettin mr elsewhere so therefore Merc treads are redundant. If tenacity is the difference between dying instantly and getting out, or even dying without ulting versus getting your ult off first that can be pretty huge.

Obviously, ymmv, and opportunity cost is hard to quantity in this game but it goes both ways.

I think people theorycraft about items a bit too much. I don't think completely optimal builds are necessary in most levels of solo q. At the very least it's been repeatedly proven that double sheen is not suboptimal enough to keep you out of D4.

Imo I don't see the point of Merc threads of squishy support like Sona maybe on Zyra because Zyra tends to build more hp compared to Sona so there is a legit chance you might survive even though you can't heal yourself. If you really want more survivability like I said getting cdr shoes + insight its 25% summoner cdr that is pretty good. Also merc threads on non tank support is awkward build path you get MR which doesn't help vs the adc in lane and the cost is 200g more than mobis/swift/lucidity. Movespeed is great on jungler and support so nearly all pros rush tier2 boots after sightstone or first jungle item.

Its not like every disable in LoL is single targeted; the sooner you can recover from a flash tibbers, or veigar cage, any of the mountains of aoe slows, Zyra root, etc. The sooner you can counter-ult to help your team either disengage or turn the fight around.

it's like the oldest special game mode, so the "URF meta" has been figured out many times over with the good champs being stupid bullshit while the bad champions are really bad but that still won't stop your team from picking draven into the 4 fizz's and a sona

My friend has 3 lvl 30 Aram only accounts leveled up specifically for that with only good Aram champs on them. He rerolls twice on each and then dodges until he gets a strong champ. Triggered?

Ill happily play anything ranged or any tank on ARAM, the nightmare to me is rolling melee champs that need to build damage to be effective.

the exception to this rule is maokai. maokai is awesome in aram when you go full damage

saplings running on people hitting them for like 500 damage each is insanely tilting

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
A level 7 Shaco main getting Shaco in ARURF is probably the least fun I've ever had playing a video game in my life.
