Right after the 2023 League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational, Riot Games plans to make some sweeping changes to multiple items systems across almost every role in the game, including tanks, supports, AD carries, and fighters.
There are also a collection of items getting changed for assassins, which should bring equal parts excitement and dread from the player base. From two iconic items getting terrifying new passives to a couple of other recognizable tools getting a revamp, Zed and Katarina mains will want to take a good look at the upcoming changes to these important items when they drop on live servers, which is expected to happen on Wednesday, May 17 with Patch 13.10.
