Riot outlines massive item updates for League of Legends patch 11.2

League of Legends’ preseason patch 10.23 update did away with much of how items and champion itemization worked in the MOBA.

The new Mythic Items brought in a completely new meta to the game and introduced passives and interactions that make League of Legends feel like an entirely new game.

The item system overhaul has created a balance disparity, making some build paths feel a bit too over-tuned than the others. Though there have been many tweaks and updates to items in subsequent patches, there is still much work to be done on Riot’ Games part.

This is why League of Legends patch 11.2 will be focusing a lot on balancing some items.
