The 2023 League of Legends preseason is here, and with every new season of League comes major changes. Two years ago, the game’s developers massively overhauled the game’s items, adding a new tiered item system that allowed for creative and wide-ranging builds across League’s five positions.
This preseason, three new Mythic items will be introduced to the Rift, with a few others also being updated generally. Players can even expect some older items, like Rod of Ages, to return to the shop. Certain Mythic items, such as the once-meta-breaking Turbo Chemtank, are being downgraded and having their Mythic passives removed, too.
Here are all of the updates and additions coming to League of Legends’ items with the launch of the 2023 preseason.
