I would buy my first boots when movement speed already determines trading distance, getting to lane and staying safe.

What the item does

01

How it works

Movement speed bonuses from multiple pairs of boots do not stack.

RUSLAN / IN-GAME DECISION

How I decide

«The first boots should change the distance I play at.»

Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
01 Situation
Movement speed already determines who chooses the trade and who can retreat in time.
02 My decision
I use the gain for comfortable contact and choose the upgrade for the next task.
03 What I avoid
Buy several ordinary pairs to stack the main movement speed bonus.
02 / MY GUIDELINE

When I would buy it

Early in lane; I choose the upgrade around the hero's job.

04 / HERO AND TASK

Which heroes I would try it on

Examples based on mechanics. The role, opponents and team plan determine the final choice.

05 / ANOTHER ANSWER

What to compare it with

Similar purposes do not make items interchangeable. I compare effect, price and timing.

Builds into

Connections through Valve recipes. Owning a component does not oblige me to buy its upgrade immediately.
