A New Item Tier – Complete Re-Work of the Item System
A new tier of item rarity has been added into the rotation – Mythic. These Mythic items are the most powerful on offer and perhaps more importantly give your champion unique passive and active abilities. These enable you to completely tailor your build to who you’re directly facing in a lane, whether that’s a bruiser tank, an agile assassin, or a deadly mage.
You can have only one of these Mythic items in your inventory at any one time and are encouraged to use that as the cornerstone of your build, picking up other legendary items to complement the Mythic or to fill in any gaps or weaknesses in your build.
As well as adding powerful new passive abilities to your character, these Mythic items add a passive to any other Legendary item you purchase throughout the match. Some items will add 5% Magic Penetration to every Legendary you add, whilst others will stack 5% Ability Haste (the new name for cooldown reduction) with each Legendary. It’s a huge change, and let’s you really hone in on your what makes you perform better.
There has been a ton of new items added, and old ones have been reworked. Check the full patch notes out out if you want to pour over the hundreds of changes.
