League of Legends preseason update will add a new type of item: Mythics

League of Legends’ 2020 season is nearly over, and that means developer Riot Games is already dropping details about what to expect next season. In a preview released on Monday, Riot gave fans their first real look at the game’s item rework, which should make up the bulk of the changes that Riot is making ahead of the 2021 season.

All of the smaller component items and the larger items they build into, which will now be called Legendary items, and even the item shop itself, are all getting changes next season.

The new additions are called Mythic items and they’re designed to be the most important item in players’ build each game. These items will have powerful effects, augment the other items you buy, and provide tons of valuable stats. Each players can only have one of them in their inventory at a time and, according to Riot, they’ll almost always be your first item.

One of Riot’s focuses as it develops these new items is to give players choices in how they play. Riot wants players to make the decision about which Mythic item they build in a given game to be based on factors in that game, rather than there being one item that’s objectively the best, that players build game in and game out.
