Removed Items
Riot will remove many items this season, but don’t worry. There will be a lot of new items to replace them. A wide mixture of items is leaving, and there are many reasons why Riot may have wanted to remove an item. I will now suggest 3 reasons why some items may have been removed.
- Items are not being purchased much, or few champions can utilise the item.
- They are replacing it with a similar item.
- The item is hard to balance and has recently received multiple buffs or nerfs.
Here’s a complete list of the items that are being removed.
Reworked Items
With Riot removing a bunch of items, they’re also reworking quite a few. At the time of writing this article, they haven’t finalised any of the item changes yet, so we will avoid listening to any potential changes right now. But, here’s a list of all the items that are getting reworked.
What do you think about these items getting changed? Are you happy, or is your favourite item getting changed?
New Items
There are a ton of new items being added into the game this season to replace and compensate for the items they have removed. However, Riot hasn’t really confirmed when they will rock up on the live servers yet.
To simplify this section, I will list the new items by role, including what they do and who they will be good on. However, it is still early days for these items, so they might change, and the champions suggested may no longer pick them up.
