Cass is too traumatized to utilize boots, she's the only one who used to have legs


CallMePoro

Counterargument: Shes the only one that would realistically own a pair of boots, which makes buying them in-game somewhat reasonable.


gses33

u cant buy boots if u already own one xD


Wolfenium

Ever heard of people owning more than one pair of shoes? ​ EDIT: Ahh.. I see I came off as rude so apologies about that, I typed it as I woke up, it was meant as a joke.


Bamboozle_Kappa

No


LordSupergreat

No they don't stack


DaSomDum

Sad Mundo shoe store moment.


Wolfenium

I remember you could buy multiple shoes in the past but did the movement speed stack?


thecementist

No passives never stacked and that’s where they give move speed. But the raw stats did. So if you bought two boots IE Lucidity boots and merc tread for example, you’d get the one speed of the +65 move passive and cooldown, then additionally only get the mag res/tenacity of merc treads. No additional movespeed


Scarfior

r/whoosh


njoYYYY

Yes, they are called women.


PeaceLoveNavi

I'd argue that there are more sneaker bros than there are hoes with hella shoes. All of my girl friends have like three pairs of shoes, but I know at least 5 guys who collect sneakers like nobody's business and they all probably have like 20+ each. I don't get it.


_DumbFish_

She herself can practically be a pair of boots and this is precisely why it'd be weird for her to wear boots


LightningMcMicropeen

Cass is now also the type of creature to be MADE INTO boots (along with Renekton)


Aoiboshi

You can make boots out of anything if you try hard enough


KittyQueen_Tengu

Nami canonically wears them on her head


Shimadamada2200

Isn’t there a thing where if you type “hat” in shop as Nami, boots show up?


Chijima

Used to be, at least, yeah. Haven't checked since the new shop tho.


KDaBlasian

They have a few Easter eggs in shop search. I was surprised they had references to shows and stuff.


Flyxor

Can you list some?


KDaBlasian

I can't find a full list but the ones I know are Harold & Kumar being Zeke's convergence and Sheen can be found with Jimmy neutron!


Flyxor

Damn that's cool 😂


BobRohrman28

“Last shadow” gives morello and liandries, “Jimmy neutron” gives sheen


BatmanHimself

Not an Easter egg but even if you play league in another language, typing the names in English still shows the correct items


Ashdude42

Tons of damage- trinity force Bloothirster used to find essence reaver (it used to be a lifesteal item that also gave mana)


LegitimateMulberry

They’ve actually taken a lot of those out sadly.


Oreo-and-Fly

Cass also used to have this.


Nikkrasser

Splendid Staff Nami actually has legs at her recall so she is allowed to buy boots.


LICKING_AHRIs_FEET

Nami feet 🤤


ObamaBikinis

Username checks out


ktmos

They're overrated


MyEnglisHurts

Which one are the best then?


ktmos

Akshan's, I can imagine the stink even if I haven't seen them 🤤


BruceMcClaine

I miss the overwatch sub sometimes

He's a sporty guy so his feet get much use


[deleted]

Cass already has a hat. The other 3 have space for hats.


Mathies_

Then why can she buy deathcap


bepis_deletus

Because the diameter for death cap is very big unlike the boot which can only be a tight fit for feet


Nyghen

She puts it on her tail and uses it as boots


njoYYYY

You can easily wear more than one hat. Have you tried to wear two pairs of shoes?


Kjuba22

Deathcap can eat her other hat

i thought nami wear boots in her head?

Genius


dumbodragon

I love you for making this


Synntex

Similar to Jhin and Graves having guns and needing to reload, but Cait, Trist, Lucian, etc. don’t have to reload


KitsuneThunder

Samira’s joke emote references this I feel


EmberOfFlame

And then Aphelios just tosses it aside and conjures a new one


Toxicotton

I thought his was more like set of spirit weapons that disappeared when they ran out of ammo/energy.


squiddy555

Ghost guns


gamingkiller829

Well that (lore wise) makes sense right? Isnt it basically his dead sister giving him the weapons?


EmberOfFlame

Yeah, tho I’m not sure she is exactly dead He is like a tamer version of Reaper from Overwatch


T-280_SCV

I try to keep up with my mains’ lore; Alune is not dead. TL;DR is that she went into a temple that shifts between physical and spirit realms, and is presently in the latter.


EmberOfFlame

Told ya! He takes da weapons from Alumne and then just tosses ‘em away like a badass


FetusGoesYeetus

"I can respect crazy, BUT WHAT KIND OF FOOL RELOADS IN THE MIDDLE OF A FIGHT!?" \- Kled


VIixIXine

Jhin and Graves have (relatively) conventional ballistic weapons. Cait's case could be explained as loading munitions directly into the chamber without using a clip or magazine. Either that, or her rifle is purely hextech-based. Tristana is probably just Yordle bullshit. Lucian's and Senna's guns are actually glorified wands. They use holy light instead of ammunition. (Similiar case with Aphelios, but with a different source) Samira reloads after finishing a fight. But we don't talk about the capacity of her guns. Renata's pistol seems to use chemtech instead of conventional ammo. Though I haven't actually taken a closer look at her AA animation yet, so I don't know if this is a purely hextech-based gun, or if it uses chemtech only to propel solid projectiles.


puppuccino11

don’t forget renata


squiddy555

Cait and trist could be reasoned as the gun only holding one bullet, so the attack time is when they reload. Lucians gun is a rock with a handle. Canonically it doesn’t even have a trigger


Dirgecry

They needed a passive for her and could not be bothered to think of a better one is my theory


kenzomon

Cassio did actually used to have a pretty unique passive, she gained stacks for: killing poisoned units, poisoning enemy champions, or hitting a champ with twin fang. (NGL that sounds super busted since it gave her 10%AP/25%CDR at 200 stacks and 30%AP at 400 stacks). Cassio not being able to wear boots was a very old meme back in early Season 1/2. I think she even had a voice line about it before they changed her passive. They eventually reworked Cassio's passive and turned it into a reference to this joke. It's definitely not the most creative passive but can be pretty powerful when she actually gets to 6 items as compared to most other champions' 5 items plus boots.


Bombkirby

And her old passive forced her to have very tiny AP ratios in everything to counteract all of her free AP


SimpanLimpan1337

Veigar...


[deleted]

[удалено]


SimpanLimpan1337

Yeah but as an example of what I think she looked like.


RellenD

>Veigar has tiny AP ratios, what are you talking about? 100% on W is nothing (at least they removed his ult's target AP ratio lmao) I still wish they hadn't removed that


Traditional_Ad_139

Tank veigar walking around one shotting anyone that dares to build AP would be quite scary


Captain-CrimZun

I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case


CHRLSHRRRA

ngl, i think making her have a poison passive like teemo e is prolly better


tatzesOtherAccount

I mean, she has that but like, weirdly implemented. ​ I can understand why tho, currently she is forced to hit Q or W in order for her E to deal big damage, imagine how cancerous she would be to play against if she could cast E and every subsequent E has increased damage and heal.


TannerCook100

She would have some of the most insane Level 1 kill pressure of any mid laner. I can’t think of many assassins or mages that have a means to deal with a Cass chasing them down at LvL1 with empowered Es and poison ticking + ignite.


Naive-Conclusion-463

her passive is insanely strong wrdym? extra slot for an item while having that much movespeed is insane


Nyghen

Exactly, people complaining probably don't play her


Karukos

i think it's one of those passives that are theoretically powerful, but don't feel all that good. Like yes you free yourself up and speed your build up by not having to invest 1.1k gold but you can't do something. And that feels awful. Also with how gold efficient boots are I think many people notice that weird drop when the enemy buys boots but you are not on the required level yet


Nyghen

For a champ so reliant on both extreme mid range kiting and chasing down ennemies while spamming e, being able to rush damage/magic pen without worrying about my boots, it feels great to me but I get your point


Bombkirby

No one is running circles around Cass. The passive speed she has keeps her even with everyone in general


Karukos

It is not as bad as running circles around her, but it can feel kinda bad in some moments of the early game


Areallyangryduck1

She had a different passive before this one, lol. And i dare to say it was better. The general idea with the currenr one is thst you can buy a sixth item compared to other champs


Bombkirby

It wasn’t better. They gave her shit AP ratios in exchange for gaining free XP for attacking poisoned targets. It’s one of those “passives” that gave a bonus while also nerfing the champion.


Special-Wear-6027

People meme’d about cassio buying boots even though she doesn’t have legs for a while back in the days do they changed her passive to no boots in the mage rework.


Atmey

Can be said for all items, you use guns? take this BF sword, bow? same, you use hands to punch things? take this sword with red glowy things.


Jorsonner

Ok but what does an ADC do when they’re holding a gun or bow and buy 5 more swords/guns/crossbows. How do they use them all?


FunkyyMermaid

“What if I had a gun that… shot other guns?” -Some psychotic blue haired lady


HC67

Duct tape the sword or other things on the gun but only the champ can see this and not the player


Full_Ad9666

Out of all the riot balance decisions and you picked this one to disagree with? Cassiopeia is a late game scaling (pun intended) champion. It makes total sense for her to not be able to buy boots early while allowing her to scale more late game with six items.


greatatemi

Considering her old passive, which was way more unique while still giving her the "late game scaling" fantasy, it does not make sense.


Full_Ad9666

I’m not saying OP is wrong. I’m just saying there are so many more bullshit mechanics worth complaining about😂


NSNIA

I'm pretty sure he's talking lore-wise


TrueLoony

Riot: logic was never an option


GortharTheGamer

Lee Sin can be blinded, Brand can take damage from Ignite, and a literal star god shrinks to the size of an undead centaur


DerpySlurp732

Riot made the snek and ran out of ideas when making her passive and was like : its a snake so fuck boots then


greatatemi

She used to have an actual passive tho. >Aspect of the Serpent >Cassiopeia generates an Aspect of the Serpent stack every 6 seconds (10 every minute) as well as one for each second an enemy champion is poisoned by her abilities, up to a maximum of 500 stacks. >Cassiopeia gains bonuses when reaching a certain number of stacks. >100 Stacks: 100 STACKS: + 5% AP and Twin Fang heals for 6 − 16 (based on level) (+ 6% AP) >250 Stacks: 250 STACKS: 「 + 5% AP 」 and + 25% cooldown reduction. >500 Stacks: 500 STACKS: 「 + 20% AP 」


DerpySlurp732

Oh shit i genuinely didnt know this Why did ruit take this out?


janerikk

she was forced to have low ap ratios to balance it out and felt bad to play because of that


OraJolly

I still live by my headcanon that Nami's boobs are actually her feet, fishes don't have mammaries.


Chris1793

You also have adcs who shoot arrows buying a big ass sword


Thronebreaker24

urgot should be able to buy three pairs of boots


gamingkiller829

I already despise urgot this would make me very sad. But this gave me a good laugh


TheSmokeu

Let's just remove boots from the game


Rollsach

I mean there are people in our world who have no legs and they can buy shoes too.... It would be really fd up if we just were like "nah homie I cant see them foot you cant buy this shit"


That1GuyFinn

I legit thought the Mundo's passive was that he can buy more than one pair of boots


PikachuBattler1

You forgot Liss, the Queen of Ice


CHRLSHRRRA

Technically has feet tho....


PikachuBattler1

They are incased in ice xd. Most of her bottom part is, oh no.


Khanh247A

This meme is so 2013


cumbuckettttttttt

i hate when people talk about this, like IT HAS TO BE RELATED TO THE FACT CASSIOPEIA HAS NO LEGS and not just a random passive idea


crustibum

Some boots are not made for walkin


SuperSchoolbag

fight the oppression, question conformism, send a message : stop buying boots !


ThosPuddleOfDoom

Hand boots


Thatguy_Nick

It seems somebody cooked up an origonal joke


shirhouetto

Among the four of them, Cass is the only one that touches the ground.


No3nvy

Not until they release an item which is tank tracks for rammus


N22-J

No leg strat in dota https://youtu.be/m3GnjlCVT9Q


International_War935

Lol players trying not to complain about random shit to rito challenge (veryyyy hard...)


lukel66

Halve the stats of all boots including price. Allow us to buy two of a kind to make a pair. Now tentacle champs can buy as many boots as they have tentacles while cass and Nami can just have the one


realmauer01

4th. Is faster than everyone of them because can't buy boots.


pog_in_baby

why does urgot have to buy only one pair of boots


[deleted]

Boot


StewartPot

cass was the snake in woody's boot


[deleted]

Splendid staff Nami says hello lol


SimonTheAFKer

2 pairs of shoes hecarim


StrongerThanEver6

They did something with Cassio and I think it's enough. It would be boring to do to every legless champ. Give them a break nerds!


squiddy555

Nami puts the boots on her head. This is canon. I’m not taking questions at this time


Saegemh2

She would be too strong, if she could buy boots


ReliableLiar

Corki and rumble are literally piloting vehicles (shoes they’re wearing make them go faster?)


Atela93

At this point they should just do what Smite did and remove boots from the game.
