It's a great idea but I'm worried that if implemented everyone would be using this to go back to .48b Blink Dagger era.

personally i wouldnt like seeing boots with a nuke damage. i know its just one specific case, but think of meepo with these... 4 poofs in + 4 rocket blasts = AoE Rape.

I had a suggetion like this back in DA, it seemed that people werent very fond of the concept of a jump-like active on boots.

you must change bottle because it really doesn't fit the theme and you cannot have 2 passives in one item (dash and bottle regen).

also there is Push Stick for dashing.

yeah the bottle somehow doesn't fit with the boots :s

Quote:
+75 Movement speed
+75 MS is kinda high for such heavy-lookin' pair of "shoes"

since it is some kinda of a jet-powered boots (as it looks in the icon) maybe when you use it your unit flies up in the air, stays there for few seconds and then goes back down again (at high rate as it like he lost fuel xD)

while in the air he can't be attacked by melee units or smthin

when he lifts off he could knock back nearby enemies
and when he lands he could stun them for 1-2 seconds

dunno I thought it would be more original and fun

You shouldn't use bottle in this item since i treally doesn't fit the theme.

Nice jumping idea though...

yeah, a no-no to bottle, just because it's refillable?

yeah, u cant use both actives. also, its pretty imba. many heroes get bottle+boots anyway, so for 1100 more gold they get imba ms and an escape mechanism which is about as good as force staff / dagger (which cost 2150/2200).

:/

If you want something more DotA change them to Magic Boots. Nothing else really nees to change much, and suddenly the bottle and fountain are justified.

#1) This has 2 actives. Impossible.
#2) You have force staff.
#3) This is faster than phase boots.
#4) You've made 3 items obsolete.
#5) No.

Add to that:

#6) It's made of consumables. No item should use consumables on the recipe (exception: stick).
#7) Storing runes and fountain water on a boot? WTF?!
#8) Put three of the most used items togheter and add a escape mechanism and knockback. What did you think when you created this item?
#9) Hell, no!

i dont understand..whats the 2 actives? i only see one, dash 600 forward and while you dash..at the starting point will be knockbacks.

There's only 2 stats, +MS and 1 active.

it doesnt have to be physically logic. just go home and it will refill.

Using bottle in boots is a bad idea. The item would be overused simply becuase of the amount of heroes that buy boots and a bottle. Furthermore your item has two active abilities, which is impossible. 1 - the jump thing. 2 - storing runes. Also does storing a rune give you a charge? Or can you use the rune?

How do you use 2 active spells in an item? Force and Bottle Charges? How do you use it? You can only click one time means that only one will be active. Moreover, how come Bottle + Boots = Better Boots?

Should be Force Staff + Boots = Rocket Boots.
