In Dota, if allies disconnect, you can control their characters, buy items, etc. If someone is good enough at RTS, they could technically win the game better than having team mates if they were significantly lower skill than the player that remained.

Riot put the 6th item boot replacement items in the game only for everyone to ignore them as such. ADC: Phantom Dancer (of course, they already build this usually) or Black Cleaver Fighter: Black Cleaver Tank: Deadman's Plate Mage: Cosmic Drive Assassins: built into their lethality mythics which give 25ms with 5 legendary items acting as a 1:1 brown boot replacement. These items basically exist as a replacement for boots in one way or another. They're balanced around that fact. Do I think the game could have been won? I dunno it looked like it for a minute, but then Zwag capped out while ignoring a powerful 6th item, and the enemies got stronger. Maybe with one more won fight the game can be ended, but it was a long ass shot either way. Damn good try. Consider a boot replacement item in the future.

[@cursegrimfiend6569]

Black Cleaver only gives you speed when dealing damage, Fighters with no range skill-shots will have much more trouble reaching the enemy. Cosmic Drive's Damage increase isn't that great in relation to Boot's Damage increase due to their 18MPen. Cosmic also grants less movement speed unless hitting skill-shots so it makes running and roaming slower. It does give come with a Handy 30AH, but I wouldn't call it exactly a Sorcerer Shoes upgrade. Also Adding onto your list: Youmuu's Ghostblade before being a mythic, I always replaced it as the last item when playing Pantheon cause of the 40 Movement Speed you gain out of Combat and the 30% extra speed on the active. Shame this item is a mythic now.
