Recipe Benefits


+5 MS
Upgraded charge benefit

Utility
The recent Enhanced Marchers and Steamboots switcheroo has left gankers in the cold. Enhancer Marchers are now greatly beneficial to DPS, while Steamboots are awesome for casters, but pure gankers that needed the combination of speed and survivability from the old Enhanced Marchers find themselves having to make serious compromises. This is the ultimate item for the roaming ganker, allowing him to regenerate HP and MP without necessarily being the team Bottler.

Balance
Users that stack up to full charges earn themselves a powerful heal and speed burst that lets them chase, flee, and otherwise generate themselves between battles. They're an excellent segue for Power Supply into the mid and late games, but are balanced out by the fact that they don't scale as well overall in terms of pure movement speed and late-game benefits compared to other boots. Running at 355 MS, you can get a full 10 charges by moving continuously for 42 seconds.

[docterj208]

um... how do you activate these abilities?

[Nome]

Item finished.

One is a passive, one is an active.

[Platonic]

1) You should probably toss in that charges are used on activation so as not to leave it to implication.

2) I'd recommend making distance traveled longer, 300 units is nothing. How far do you think someone should travel to get a full charge? Half the map?

3) More a personal thing, but I've always thought the bottle could be used in some kind of recipe. If you're going for a gank-centric item, tossing in the bottle can turn this from a handy thing that some people might use to a must-have for any ganker.

[zndr]

Like was said in irc, I think 500 is a bit too short, 750 might be a bit better, other wise it's 15 charges a minute. other than that, I'm not sure if this would make these too op, but would unit walking be too much for 4 seconds?

edit to platonic, adding the bottle could be a good idea adding a second item to the game that COULD potentially rune control, as many times you don't want that bottle late game but you keep it for 1 reason, rune control

[Nome]

Changed to 700 distance. I do want it to be very powerful for gankers, but not so great for people getting ganked :P

[Warchamp7]

I like it

[MrSnowman]

Seems nice. 225 for 15 charges Is a little high though. Insta max Movement speed for anyone. Needs a slight nerf on that front otherwise its ok.

[Ragnarok17]

Interesting idea. I vote yes. However, I think the aspect where you get charges for distance needs to be tweaked. If you have a movement speed of about 355, you can basically get 1000 distance in 3 seconds. So every 3 seconds you'd get 15 hp, 15 mp, an average of 5 hp and 5 mp per second. This seems to powerful.

But then again, this item has lower movement speed than the others, so I guess that balances a bit, since you'd have to use your charges for more movement speed, possibly wasting 225 hp and 225 mp for movement speed.

Edit: did some calculations.

If you have a ms of 355, then every 20 seconds you can get 7 charges. (20 seconds * 355 ms = 7100 distance). 7 charges gives you 105 more ms for 5 seconds. Since the ms decays, you divide 105 in half... = 52.5. Divide 52.5 by 4 because 5 seconds fits into 20 seconds 4 times. 13.125. Add to 355 = 368.125.

Looking nice so far :).

[docterj208]

Umm.... this seems really powerful to me. Also, I am not sure if I would use this over something like enhanced marchers. Phase is very important after all. The only benefit I can see to this is that it is really good for laning and is better than just getting a normal power supply as you will not have to wait for an enemy to cast a spell.

Also, the speed boost might be too much. Enhanced marchers is supposed to be the chasing boots and I think this can blow it out of the water. Might need to reconsider its MS boost.

At least, that is my opinion.

[Mayjin_RENE]

Surely a yes!
Maybe the ms needs to get fixed a bit but anyway a great idea for gankers
cause the steamboots and marchers atm just suck for them.

[Ragnarok17]

Yes may be you should have the charges max at 10 or 12. It would be real strong to save up 15 charges and go into a fight early game and just pwn. To compensate, you could lower the cooldown to 15 seconds.

[Hueter]

nice idea, i still think the boots could have some more base MS and less MS on activation...

[Khaos`]

This is a cool idea, but I get the feeling that it overlaps with Phase Boots way too much. What with the activation for the sudden boost in speed, it's pretty much covers the same ground (hohoho)

Why not just have the charges passively grant additional movespeed so they don't overlap?

[Nome]

Few misconceptions being thrown around in this thread.

Enhanced Marchers are no longer "the" gank boots. There are no more gank boots.
Enhancer Marchers are now the generalized boots, and Steamboots are now the caster boots.

So while Thunderbringer would've bought Enhanced Marchers before, he now buys Steamboots. But he's still a ganker :p

These boots are particularly made for heroes that are going to be doing a lot of traveling. If you're not going to be running around, you're much better off buying Power Supply and Steam/EMarchers separately. Anyway, nerfed the speed gain per charge dramatically.

[Megha]

Amazing idea.. really love the creativity.

[docterj208]

Fine, if this is the gank boots, then phase boots are the initiator boots :P

What would happen if legionnaire ran in but got creep blocked?


Also, consider this a null vote. I don't agree with this boots, but I will be nice to you Nome cause I usually vote down for your ideas except for a few......

Legionnaire wouldn't get this :P

[Ragnarok17]

5 ms seems to low but I guess the hp and mp from distance traveled will be fun enough :)

And anyway, the ganker/wielder of this item could always go for an item like Stormspirit for more ms or something.

[Chenq1]

Combined with bottle, this item could be pretty sick.

[docterj208]

You know Nome, who would want this for boots?

I see this as more of a laning enhancement more than anything else. And, I can't really think of a single person who would want just a MS boost over say, attack speed.

So I guess an INT hero will have choices now?

Roamers.

TB, Slither, Swiftblade possibly, Valkyrie, Glacius possibly, Pebbles, Pharaoh, amongst others.

[IshmaelJobic]

I think this is a great idea. It implements the power supply and it gives an original way of accruing charges. It's also cool that the charges give one MS. Thumbs up from me.

[brn4meplz]

I like the suggestion. As of the latest round of boot patches i've sat at the shop going "I can't really use either of these to their full effect"

Alot of lower end players(not calling myself a high end) won't see the need for something like this. But when i play it's usually balls deep aggression and I survive most team fights in the 2 digit HP range so I'm always popping items that keep just inside the red line(I'm usually a support hero Tempest, Shaman, but when i play melee it's pure undistilled aggression)

I like the idea alot and would love to see it as an option. the charges system sounds fantastic

[Murlox]

Well...

This is just fantastic. The only obstacle I'd see is that you already have your own item in game, so maybe give this item to someone else, or post it with a smurf account?

On a serious note, 7,5 MS bonus per charge seems quite high to me, as it'd give 112,5 MS possible boost, for a bursting 470 MS. I know its only 5 second, but 5 seconds at 470 is quite long, imo (Yes I read it would decrease over those 5 seconds, but still).

Maybe tweak this stat a bit down, like 5 MS bonus per charge? (75 MS boost, 430 max MS).


I love the 1 charge / 1000 range though, would make for a lot of fun during early game ganks!

Speed decays at 112.5/5 per second.

[Murlox]

True. Well, not much to add, why is this item not on my shop?!

[jgreen464]

yea this is great implement plz!

turns power supply into a less useless piece of ****

[Nome]

Bamp

[Kintak]

Dammit Nome leave some of the kickass ideas for the other posters. :cool:
No but really, this is good. I see myself using it a lot.

[AeiOwnedU]

Fantastic idea - Helps gankers hella much! Might even replace bottle ;)

A question / comment:

Do you gain charges throughout the duration of the "Power boost"? & I believe the 7.5MS per charge would is just too much assuming someone has 15 charges ... [7.5 x 15 = 112.5MS]

I suggest a nerf to the item, something along the lines of... It gives 50MS for [X] amount of seconds [X] is the value of charges - Meaning up to 15 seconds of bonus MS.

[Nome]

The movement speed decreases over the 5 seconds. You won't be maintaining 112.5 bonus for very long. After 2.5 seconds it'll drop to half of that.

[HClCaSaT]

Wow this would be awesome on slither!

[Nome]

Wow this would be awesome on slither!

Yeah, Slither, Thunderbringer, Pharaoh, Devourer, etc... there's a lot of heroes that would benefit from it.

[GTF0]

As of 1.50 wand cooldown is 17 seconds, you should probably change this item to reflect that.

That aside, concept looks great for wanderers. I, for one, would get this a lot of the time.

T-up

[valiance]

I love this.

[Evil_Andrex]

Nome stop making good suggestion of give us a chance sometimes... I Like this and its 1 passive and 1 active thing, not enough items with this.

[Asamak]

Nome I have been a huge fan of all of your suggestions but this I think is just amazing! Its simply and yet so useful!

[bobyahoo]

Fine, if this is the gank boots, then phase boots are the initiator boots :P

Also, consider this a null vote. I don't agree with this boots, but I will be nice to you Nome cause I usually vote down for your ideas except for a few......

Why would legionare not have a portal key? Also i like the idea but it seems like its more of a nerf to my bristleback :(. Yes vote from me

[Hadoucas]

i'd like to see more charges, so it's a nice evolution of the mana battery, other than that, t-up

[Rice_RockeT]

Instead of gaining a charge per 1000 distance traveled, I'd change the mechanic to something like "checks user's position every 5 seconds and grants +1 charge if he is at least 1000 distance from where he was at the previous check"

otherwise, anyone can just run in circles while farming a lane to get a bunch of free regen.

[Prahl]

Have you considered making the movement speed a passive that is increased by charges? This would make them more effective in the late game, as well as giving a down-side to healing yourself. Example: zephyr's cyclones can be consumed to heal him, however this makes him lose some offensive ability and he must work harder to gain it back. This would also allow for slower gankers like Devourer to buy these boots and maintain effectiveness as long as he is moving around ganking. Overall, I like the idea alot.

[A1ias]

That would make it incredibly hard to gain charges. You'd have to run in circles for a long time while farming a lane just to get a few charges. Gankers wouldn't be in a lane farming for more then a minute at a time anyway?

[Kennedy]

+1

I'd like to see the boots get more base MS, maybe 60 instead of 55.

[Mastion]

I like this very much. Like that it gets charges for running around.

[Rice_RockeT]

That would make it incredibly hard to gain charges. You'd have to run in circles for a long time while farming a lane just to get a few charges. Gankers wouldn't be in a lane farming for more then a minute at a time anyway?

I think you misunderstood my point.

If the item gained a charge for each 1000 distance traveled, it would be just as easy to gain charges by running in circles while solo farming a lane as by running across the map to gank. You just move constantly until a creep gets low enough to last hit.

changing it to check distance moved over a fixed time interval will help preserve the item for its intended use (by heroes that are roaming the map),

[EroticMonkey]

T-up

change to 20 hp and 15 mana per charge,and 60 ms 55 bad

That's fine--I have no problem with it being used by laners. But it'd be a huge hassle to do something like that, and heroes that need to farm generally are more likely to have superior gains from a different pair of boots.

[JacqesMolay]

Good And usefull Item Good Job

[Shinta]

Always +1 for Nome.
<3

[NightCloak]

I like this idea.

Great for non-int actually. Mana boost is awesome for going top to bot and back for ganking for STR or AGI gankers.

[Wurzel]

i like it but 7.5 per charge isnt too high??
its easy to gain charge.. so its a bit OP this boot, but i like the concept, voted yes.

[Skyve]

how about, instead of giving the item its own recipe, add ringmail to it so you can add bonus armor? Wouldn't be quite beneficial for gankers, wouldn't it?

[Trilles]

Nome, bro, another GUD IDEA ! - by Pollywog

[raken]

Nome, you have great ideas (I love the Harlequin) and in general, I like the idea of combining Power Supply with Marchers, if only for the free slot it provides (Should be added to recipe benefits list maybe?). I myself get Power Supply almost every game as it's an item that saves lives countless times.

More specifically however, I have reservations about the synergy with the speed boost and power charges being activated together. In most situations when ganking you would probably want the speed boost to chase, right after or right before the initiation. In either of those cases, the HP/MP charges being activate at the same time as the speed boost feels a bit off. I guess the extra MP right after the initiation might help but i'm not sure.

In my mind, these boots actually feel more like escape boots more than ganking boots. In other words, get ganked, survive the initiation by a hair, pop the boots for instant HP and MP, run!

[Otherside]

not voting as i think the idea of getting charges from walking is to easily abused and needs a huge nerf/change other than that the idea is ok.

[Tupimus]

As great as it is as an idea otherwise, only 55 MS? Due to the fact that this is something you'd get as a roamer, that doesn't quite comply, activated MS boost or not. I'd say make it have a decent passive MS and remove the boost.

[Pigma]

I freaking love this item and, if implemented, would surely buy it on several heroes. Seriously.

Love it.

[Broodax]

I voted yes, but I have an issue with using Power Supply in this way. Its already a combined Item. Couldn't you use Mana Battery instead and adjust the price?

Something like:
Mana Battery - 210
Marchers - 500
Bolstering Armband/Fleetfeet/Apprentice's Robe - 450
Wanderer's Boots - 300
1460 total.

Edit! Miss read the item:
maybe something more like
Mana Battery - 210
Marchers - 500
2x Pretenders Crown - 370
Wanderer's Boots - 380
= 1460 total

you get the idea.

[AnimeSteez69]

Fantastic idea. I would love to see this, as I usually get Power Supply on most gankers already.

[Damage]

Pretty cool... viable on heroes that I would otherwise not upgrade my boots til late game.

[Tedde]

When is this being implemented? :P

[Sensator]

Power supply is op as it is.

[promanski]

Sounds like a great idea, I especially like the movement speed to go in with power supply, awesome idea. My vote is diffently a yes!

[FalseTruth]

I think this is an awesome idea and very unique. You got my vote.

[Nome]

Remade--now uses Mana Battery instead of Power Supply, so it's cheaper and weaker.

[Battlerager]

Gets a vote from me. An item like this is needed.

[PROc]

To be honest I think using power supply rather than mana battery is probably better. The high cost brings in more in line with other boots and I think that power supply is a lot more popular item than mana battery.

[SUNSfan]

very good idea. T-up from me

[HoLyVieR]

The movement speed should be upgraded a little bit to +10 MS. It would still leave those boots to be the slowest boots (after marchers of course). Otherwise, only +55 MS is really low. Even on the fastest base movement speed hero it would only give them a base movement speed of 375 (320 + 55) and most hero that only have 300 base movement speed could reach the same movement speed with a less costy recipe.

[Everrain]

As all your ideas this one is great.

[CKMo]

change back to power supply, plz
i'd prefer to have a passive +2 hp/mp/ms for every 300 range you travel (tweak the numbers), then 1 charge for every 1000 range, and then on activation, boost your regen and ms equal to all the passive's that have built up, except no more than 50 to hp and mp, and 150 to ms

[ForTheSwarm]

Is this being dropped in favor of the Traveler's Boots?

[Sadhe]

I usually dislike boot suggestions, but this one is great. One thing though, I would make it cheaper (Recipe of 300).

[_Archangel_]

It's interesting and good concept, but heavily imbalanced. :\ Even with number tweaks I don't think this will be a balanced idea. Holding vote.

[Simba]

This is a badass idea. Voted yes.

I feel it should give like +4 or 5 all stats though. After all Power Supply is +3 and nobody likes to remove item effects.

[jusatin`]

Seems like great item, voted yes and T-up :)

[Dukamok]

Just now reading this for the first time and I think these boots are an incredibly original and wonderful idea. Great work Nome. +1

[Mittsies]

These seem like a really viable boot-item, but personally I'd rather just stick with Power Supply on it's own and another boot item. I generally end up selling my Power Supply later into the game as it's not nearly as useful by then, so I'd rather get a boot-item that scales better throughout the entire game. (Yeah I'm aware it gives MS too; but I'm not convinced that it will be more useful than Unitwalking/Teleportation).

Either way, it's still a fantastic concept. T-UP

[Delvil]

What is the meaning of this? Are you the one responsible for all the boots-related shenanigans in this game, Nome?

T-down, too many boots, this is unnecessary. Besides, magic stick is a core item for many heroes that can't be bothered to buy these, and I'm pretty sure the ghost marchers active is going to be preferable, and the passive movement speed not worth the sacrifice for it.

They will never be bought, and even if they would be, they are completely unnecessary. We are dudes, we play games about killing each other. Not about buying a bunch of different types of shoes.

[Whalecore]

Lol, awesome.

What's next, bottle boots?

[ccp]

i love the idea of boots designed for roamers/gankers. hardpants.

[RUSty_]

sounds like a great item. people often use power supply near the end of battles (when charges build up) and with these boots will allow a burst speed for either chasing/running. only downside is that the passive ms is too low for it to be viable for some heroes. When you say "Gain 1 charge for every 1000 distance traveled." does this include movement abilities like Valk leap/Night Hound pounce?

[BooPoo]

I vote no, as some others have said: Devourer and Armadon will be nerfed by this, allowing any hero to grab a small burst of speed used to escape these heroes easily.

I think it damages more than it adds.

[BlaatMekker]

Wouldn't this boost NightHound and Scout (or any other hero that is in stealth most of the time) even more? Since they roam about with increased speed most of the time you give them even more speed and traveling possibilities.

[Chipper]

i love it.

voted yes, seems a little like the only boot i would ever buy though.

[OguR93]

heh, so nice idea, you are walkning and u are getting charges, so great to scout ;]

[NOSAKIAS]

I really hope this will be approved!

[Duey]

Still waiting for Nome to post a BAD idea :D

voted yes, but it wouldn't hurt to maybe add another 1-200 units to distance travelled for charges imo.

[Luka]

!support

[ph1l]

although i like the idea of having power supply and boots combined i think that the movement speed part should be reworked. imo you will face a lot of situations where you will either sacrifice the movement speed buff or the health and mana.

also if you have 15 charges, you will gain 55MS+15*7.5MS=167.5MS but it decays too fast. if you take 300MS as basic movement speed this puts a hero to roughly 468MS, whereas ghost marchers would put the same hero to only about 407MS(buffed) and post haste to 395, but see, you'd lose 22.5MS per second. so either the movement speed buff would be a complete overkill or you keep getting slower, falling back behind the enemy even more.

what i also don't like is the basic movement speed. mostly you will save up your charges for teamfights, ganks or fleeing which will really slow you down overall.

but my main objection to this item is that i doubt it will help in ganking and fleeing. this has to do with the movement speed buff. if you flee the enemy will catch you because after 3 seconds he will be just as fast as them if they have activated their ghost marchers and then you get consistently slower until you get outrun by them. if a slow or a stun is cast on you and you already have activated your boots to benefit from the hp and mana boost it will get even worse, but you need to activate them early enough because otherwise they will always reach you because of the slow stock movement speed. in ganking its basically the same.

also i dont think it will help roamers, because roamers will never have enough money to afford them by the time they need them, and by the time they can afford them, roaming changes into team ganks anyway. even if a roamer is able to farm it by a reasonable time, which i doubt, it will slow up his overall performance because of the slow movement speed he has when he has to change lanes, and the more time he needs to change lanes, the more time the enemy has to react.

i'd change the boots as follows:
- the only thing i'd keep as you have it is the "gain a charge for xxxx distance travelled" because this is what would roamers and gankers would benefit from.
- buff the basic movement speed to 70 or even 75, because you cant activate all the time anyway.
- per charge you gain 1% movement speed in addition to the hp and mana.
- remove the decay over time part and set the movement speed buff to 5 seconds OR hold the full percentage for 2 seconds and make it wear off a certain percentage per second afterwards for 4 seconds. (dont make it lose MS consisently, but take off a certain percentage and then hold it for one second)

this would set any hero just above another one with activated ghost marchers if you have more than 10 charges = (10.000 distance, probably something about the distance you'd have to change lanes) to keep the balance and would not slow down your overall performance because of the slow basic movement speed.

[XplittR1]

Power Charge (Passive)

Gain 1 charge for every enemy spell cast.
Gain 1 charge for every 1000 distance traveled.
Max 15 charges.



Running at 355 MS, you can get a full 10 charges by moving continuously for 42 seconds.

Explain please? :)

[serrath]

I think this is a very well thought out idea, I'm a little hesitant to vote yes though. The movement speed increase would be akin to haste tablet, even. These boots on a SCAUWT would make him ridiculously fast, if they're fully charged.

[serrath]

Explain please? :)

Movement speed x Seconds of movement = Distance traveled
Distance traveled / 1000 = Charges gained

[Doughboy]

As a huge fan of the power supply I totally support this item.

[TwistedMind]

Its alittle 2 much ms in a short burst 7.5 may not seem like alot but it adds up, something like 4 is more reasonable. So basically its like an instant haste for about a few secs if you have all 15 charges at 7.5 ms per charge. (too op?)

[BlueFire]

I really love this item. Gave my support but a few things I think might make it more viable.

1) Lower the cooldown. Down 20 out of 25 seconds is a pretty tough nail to bite. Either that or have it decay over 10s. This will make it seem less of a novelty item because it will be more consistent and therefore will be seen more in competitive play.

2) I'm not sure what you mean by traveled. If I port to an exterior tower will it fill my charges? That makes a lot of difference than if I have to walk to it. Also what about characters with blink? It seems like this item would make Hag pretty scary if it counts that as distance traveled. So defining the word traveled whichever way you decide would be good. (Personally I would want ports to work to encourage ganking but disallowing blinking to prevent being strong on Hag).

Other than that I think its a great item like I said before and would love to see it.
-BlueFire

P.S: Keep it using the power supply not mana battery.

This is by far your most interesting idea (i believe ive already posted in this thread previously, but meh).

This suggestion needs to gain more momentum/support.

Its balancing is very hard to do, but lets have it start out somewhat weak, and then leave the balancing to the proffesionals, just like everything else in the game is eventually rebalanced relative to its usage in games.

[Leetard179]

awesome, nome is the best suggestion guy ever

[pakoito]

This won't be implemented, It was for one patch in the prebeta and was proven IMBA as ****.

[Ripred]

the balance can always be changed... its the concept not the actual stats, also you can always make it cost more

think about it, post haste are boots too, but they are 2700 because at 1500 they would be way too op

anyways i like it and i hope they try to implement it again

[resp]

you working in the gaming department or something? cos all your item/hero ideas are neat, lol :)

T-up

edit: make it put a debuff on you, so you cant have these AND supply(550hp+mana instantly anyone?)

[Ripred]

what do you mean by debuff? just make it so they share a cooldown that way you would be wasting money by buying one...

[resp]

Or that :) was thinking at meka when i thought about it

[MrTrantastic]

This seems a bit overpowered if after activating the boots you gain charges for the distance traveled while boosted

[izzmad]

so this is a synergy of ghost marchers and power supply, right?

[RobinEA]

overpowered boots is overpowered

[volcan33]

i would change recipe for major totem,then it would looks like with other boots.

[Hat_Truck]

This item is AWESOME!

[DarkBullet]

The only thing i like about these boots, is not you don't consume two item slots for both boots and power supply, otherwise i have to argue:
Phase Boots and having power supply is better than these Powered Boots because you can phase every 10 seconds. With these boots you can only do it every once in a while, and it does not have much more movement speed than Phased Phase Boots.
(55 + 112.5 (-22.5/second) = 167.2 bonus ms that requires enemy spell casts. 70 + 30 (rounded, non-decay) = 100 bonus ms can be constantly cast + unit walking)
Also, im wanna see more late game boots than early game boots. Right now, ony Post Haste is late game.

[Krypteia]

I love it.

[eriktheguy]

I think I would rather have ghost. Do people use power supply? Maybe they would now...

[XSkiBBiDyx]

This needs to be in this game. It upsets me that HoN lacks boots.

[ORTADANYARAK]

T-up but Decrease the range to 1500(for example) from 1000

[pwn_U_fast]

can we up the ms to at least 65 post recipe?


T-up but Decrease the range to 1500(for example) from 1000

i assume you mean increase?

[smyger]

Omg that are exactly the kind of boots for my style, and it cuts the power supply from the items. Very nifty.

[rayven]

Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme

[GauntElakor]

a man after midnight?
not for me, the boots was nice tough :)

[noobscoutKS]

Omg that are exactly the kind of boots for my style, and it cuts the power supply from the items. Very nifty.

they were tested a while ago and deemed too OP

[Hyva]

Increase the MS slightly.
i would suggest 55 -> 65/70
Its a huge ganker item especially in the early game and this heroe rely on theyr MS.
Else all ganker will continue to buy Striders and Power Supply.

[GauntElakor]

Im actually thinking more of making the MS boost permanent as long as you have charges but only give 10 MS per charge
Exe:
You have 15 charges, then you get +200 MS(with the boots basic 50), but then you consume the charges for the heal/mana effect giving you +0 MS.
This would make the boots imba in lots of situations, so the boots give only 50 MS without charges (giving a max of 200) but that might also be to powerfull, so having the boots give 0 MS without charges might make it more balanced.

[babsa]

This would seem pretty OP on rampage imo. The fact that he can charge across half the map will mean he will probably have at least 10 charges by the time he reaches his target. Once he hits the target, he can ult, use his charges and shoot back with his unfortunate foe screaming.

[GauntElakor]

Just more fun for a never used hero then :)

[Xarumxian]

This Nome. This.
I want this in the game man : P Passive charge gaining is AWESOME too..
Imagine it on Ramp or something. That's 9 (Or more) charges when charging.

[colondee]

YAY thats some original invention!

[J`Bird]

/signed
This looks like a really innovative way to implement power supply into mid game!

[ZF]

These look pretty sweet, hope they get implemented!

[SugarPill]

So like striders but .. with a power supply

[GoldTool]

Yes.

[prettyboysam]

This seems good, but will be too op. All you have to do now is move and replenish every 25 seconds

[Raycrash]

So why arent these boots in the game yet ?

[LightofdaY]

good idea! now if they can make boots so everybody can leap like valk!

[Smichi]

Wow, great item. ?However this completely removes the need to go back to the fountain.

[B8]

This!

[embrance]

3 years later and still no powered boots.Lets wait 3 more years.

[Rosgath]

The low MS really offsets with the activated effect. I like it a lot.

[kingduckling]

every 1000 distance travelled? thats like 1 charge every 3 secs->that would be like 5 mana and 5 health /second.
seems a bit op since a sustainer hardly gives you that much,its not that hard to move back and forth in the lane between last hits.

what about a little "rework" of this boots?

[ChillyWater]

A good suggestion, gankers and roamers would benefit alot from these boots.
Personally, I think an new item should not be loved and picked up every game. But should carry enough power and relevance to be picked up quite consistently (bearing in mind that all item builds are situational).

I wrote another paragraph but then I realised that is was all stupid, these boots are ridiculous, 1/2 phase 1/2 steam + a buffed power supply.
I think these boots would be picked up on roamers, gankers, semi-carries, casters and even hardcarries. The mix of stats and move speed is almost perfect.

The concept is brilliant but I think that they contain too much stats for the move speed they give and too much move speed for the stats they give. I personally, would nerf the move speed as the power supply provides the stats.

But then I realise that Nome posted this thread and I thought the above writer posted 8 pages into it...


Nome's version is more balanced. :/

[kxdx]

I love it.


P.S. Please don't add the bottle as some
ponies have mentioned, the Bottle is too powerful as is.

[Muteny]

Nice

[Wundawuzi]

Please add this! I love the idea!

[Maviand]

Just amazing.
A must.
Great.
