It would also counter teams using Ice weapons to some extent, simply because it still runs faster than average when slowed. For example, if you were to have a team that's at the Pyramid, you could have a Slow effect of 55% at most (Magician + Icicle + Aquamarine 4). Even then, the Runner has shoes available at that level which are... really good. Even if we'd take level 3 shoes. Zap Sportshoes give a 125% speed boost, opposed to the rather low 55%.

Runners get a decent amount of health as well. Good thing their attack isn't sky high, to be honest.
