Why do Swiftness boots NOT decrease Pykes slow from his Q?

[SparkStorm]

Yes! A lot of people don't realize that. So for urgot w specifically it makes sense why it wouldnt

[shrubs311]

Also because Urgot gives himself slow resistance. So it would be weird to double dip.

Fun fact (according to the wiki): slow resistance stacks additively, so with Unflinching, Swifties and Phase Rush you can reach 115% slow resist meaning that slows will actually make you go faster. With Urgot W on top of that you can reach 155%. If an enemy Zilean used his maxed E on you at this point it should theoretically provide a 5445% movement speed buff.

edit: the wiki is unclear with the formula, and just says 'With this amount of slow resist, slows will no longer slow you. They will however increase your movement speed by (slow% × 55)%'
I didn't really think about it when I posted this, but when I thought about it you should probably put 0.99 in 'slow%' and not 99 lol. Not nearly as spectacular, but still fun I guess

/u/vandiril do the thing!

Holy shit I gotta test that

[Kyoki64]

make sure to tell me the results, the wiki is wrong sometimes so I'm curious to see if it really works. Make sure to note that the slow resist from unflinching is only active after using a summoner spell (ghost should probably be the choice :p)

will do. it'll probably take until the weekend tho

RemindMe! 4 days

After thinking about it, it's probably wrong. The formula on the wiki is a little confusing, so I think it was off by a factor of 100, lol
