Boots
Cloth ArmorAs Mercury's Treads are getting a bit stronger, Plated Steelcaps are getting a bit weaker, since they're currently the strongest boots in the game. This has the added benefit of being a very small buff for ADCs, which we're happy to lightly buff in the short term.
General
- Plating damage reduction reduced to 10% from 12%.
General
- New Effect: Triumphant version grants +5 armor.
- Now builds into Armored Advance.
General
- Plating damage reduction increased to 12% from 10%.
We generally buffed Steelcaps back in 14.10 by making it cheaper, giving it more armor, and taxing the anti-attack passive lightly. It’s so strong that it’s become a default pick in many AD-vs-AD lanes, making the lane more about pushing in the wave as fast as possible and less about interactions. By bringing its overall gold efficiency back down, it’ll be slightly weaker than 14.9’s version.

Plated Steelcaps will now check for a much wider range of auto attacks so that when you bonk someone with a staff it really will be protected by Steelcaps.

General
- Replaces Ninja Tabi.

A long, long time ago, Ninja Tabi granted dodge chance, allowing users to sometimes avoid basic attacks entirely. That stopped being the case in... *checks notes* 2012. We're finally catching up and re-theming these boots.
