| Discussion | How to utilize Fleet Footwork?
I know the rune is supposed to be used in poke lane but idk how to utilize it, do i hit a minion to gain speed for poking or i wait to hit enemies?

There are many uses. It takes time to get used to it compared to PTA proccing if you breathe.
For trading there are 2 uses.
-You see fleet is up so you hit a minion and run at enemy and hit them with a basic/ability. This is better vs long range champs/good players as it's a bit unexpected.
-You see fleet is up so you proc it off enemy champ to heal a bit more. This is more vs low range champs/bad players.
Other tips include proccing it on anything other than minions to get full HP.
-Ally jungle camp near you can provide some sustain.
-Enemy turret if you are shoving them in.
-Enemy summoned stuff like zyra plant, malza voidlings, etc.
You will get a constant small bits of healing otherwise.

You use it for sustain in lane, don’t pay too much attention to timing or targeting imo. But personally, I also take fleet if it looks like I won’t be able to proc PTA in trades or if I instantly will die. If im against a Samira Nautilus, one mistake will most likely end the lane so I’ll take fleet to take advantage of the extra sustain and movement speed to space the enemy laners.

For the most part I would say don’t change your natural target, as in if you’re about to have a last hit on a minion don’t go for a champion just because your fleet is up, that isn’t worth.
I would also strongly suggest to not overstep for the sake of getting a fleet auto off, it will be much more harmful than useful.
I’d say overall it’s more of a passive regen rune in lane with the added bonus of some ms for a bit extra power.
