Preseason 2021 - Item & Shop Upgrade

The end of season is fast approaching and with that comes Preseason 2021! As stated in previous dev blogs, there will be a large item & shop overhaul that will be testing on the PBE for an extended length of time (six weeks).

Check out these recent articles on the item shop changes for an in depth explanation from the devs!

Check out the rundown on Mythic and Legendary items - including a look at new items, removed items, and more:

"Over the past few months, we've discussed our gameplay plans for Preseason 2021—a complete overhaul to the item system. 
We're about to debut on PBE for an extended six-week testing period, and want to share a preview of the 22 new Mythic items you can look forward to this November, plus a few dozen new and updated Legendary items. This isn't a complete picture of all the item update has to offer, but we wanted to focus our first look on the splashiest item tiers. 
Housekeeping note: Things will be in a pretty early state when you first see them, but expect changes to things like icons, item and effect names, visual and sound effects, stat values, and more as we polish everything up over our month and a half of PBE time! Barring massive table-flips like item additions, removals, or reworks, though, this preview page won't be updated after publishing. The item system will be immensely changed in preseason, and documenting our fine-tuning to that overhaul before it's live won't actually help players understand what to do on day 1. When the patch notes come out, they'll have all the details as usual. 
Let's dive into things!

  • Frozen Mallet
  • Hextech GLP-800

Maintained Legendary Items

Riot Scruffy added:
[1] "A few more subtle changes that aren’t highlighted on the article about mythics and legendaries: (In thread) "
[2] "Tear is now a starter item. This let’s you start stacking while you build a mythic and complete seraphs or Muramana second. There is a trade off though it’s weaker for lane with a scaling payoff. "
[3] "Oblivion orb now offers mages grevious for cheaper than the full morello."
[4] "Sheen no longer has mana on it or a mana crystal component. This opens up a lot more users of the item and the items it builds into. (We’re doing a small mana buff for champs that needed it before)"
[5] "Dorans ring restores health if you have no mana on kill. Opening it up to a few more AP champs."
[6] There are a few rune adjustments. We’re not doing any big changes but the transition from CDR to haste means we need to change a few.

Here's a couple of non-item changelists from Riot Scruffy:
[1] "As we approach PBE for the item system overhaul we wanted to prime some more high level changes and their goals.  
Critical Strike: 
-Bring a bit more power into the early curve and slightly less exponential payoff 
-Broaden the choices for champs building crit"
[2] Definitely don't worry that this will be a crit champion nerf, we have shifted the power from crit damage into other stats. Our goal on overall power is no change.
[3] Also worth noting - we will do preemtive changes on champs with crit interactions (yasuo, yone, tryndamere) to make sure they are similar power to live and have dynamic choices in the system without having to go over 100%.
[4] Another non items related Preseason Preview before PBE. We're testing a very simplified version of a midlane agency reduction.  
Small resource reduction and stronger push threat to punish roaming excessively.


[5] "One last Preseason Preview before PBE: 

Jungle - doing very light changes: 

-Increase pathing diversity by making camp resistance more uniform
-Expose some hidden mechanics visually to help newer players learn the jungle
-Slight reduction to the power of kiting camps"
Riot August added a large list of champion specific preseason changes - including Caitlyn, Jhin, Senna, Tryndamere, Yasuo, Yone + Ornn, Viktor, Zoe + Elise, Katarina, Kayle :
These are the champion specific changes going to the PBE today (9/29) for preseason.  
The goal of most of these changes is to ensure the champions work correctly with the new item system while maintaining compelling build choices.

He also provided details on Volibear changes:

Here are some experimental Voli changes that are also on PBE today! His AP build is pretty weak and @RiotLutzburg is trying some things to see if he can make it better.

He also noted champion changes for their mana pools after the removal of Tear:

"oops forgot to mention that we've adjusted a number of champs' mana pools to compensate for changes to Tear and the removal of mana on Sheen in pre-season."

Here's a look at Scruffy's r/LeaguePBE feedback threads for the preseason changes:

Preseason Items and Systems Update 

"Hey everyone, The massive item system overhaul is coming to PBE. This is the thread for all feedback related to:
  • Updated stats (like Ability Haste)
  • Mythic items
  • New Legendary items
  • Updated Legendary items
  • Other systems changes like Runes, the Jungle, etc
Some of the new items don’t have final VFX or SFX yet, so if you see something that looks placeholder expect it to be updated soon. We most appreciate feedback around item choice and satisfaction. We won’t turn away any balance feedback, but PBE isn’t the best environment for balance reads because most players haven’t played enough games for matchmaking to be accurate. 
There is a lot to absorb, so take your time playing and give us as much feedback as you can. We’re reading and absorbing all of it."

Preseason Shop and Icons Update

"Hey everyone, This is the thread for feedback on the new shop interface and the update to item icons. We’re most interested in how you are learning the new interface and starting to see the increased speed and intuitiveness of finding the items you need. Feedback on any of these features is welcome: 
  • Recommended Items Tab
  • All items Tab
  • Popular Items
  • Quick access sidebar
  • Item search
  • Item icons
There are a few features still coming that aren’t yet in the build, expect these coming in the next few weeks:
  • Stat filters (AD, AP, Ability Haste, Armor, etc)
  • Item sets
  • “Good against” champion recommendations for items
  • Enhanced Mythic item visuals
  • 100% icons updated (unfinished icons have a silly pink border right now)
  • Enhanced tooltips (shift functionality)
We know that this is a big change, so don’t freak out if it’s not immediately clicking in your first game. Thanks for testing all of this stuff, we’re excited to see your feedback, solve problems, and polish the shop to 100. 
Riot Scruffy"
