Riot is reshaping League’s item system in 2026 with brand-new purchases, major reworks, removed staples, and the return of iconic items like Hextech Gunblade and Stormrazor.
The season 2026 update is bringing one of the biggest item shakeups League of Legends has seen in years. Riot is introducing multiple brand-new items for several classes, updating recipes and stat lines across popular purchases, removing a few long-standing staples entirely, and reintroducing classic items that were previously vaulted.
Beyond simply adding new options, these changes are designed to clarify item identity, reduce overlapping power spikes, and better support the evolving role systems coming in 2026. Several items are now tied directly to role quests instead of Feats of Strength, while others have been adjusted to better fit the new pacing and scaling goals of the season. Together, these updates will significantly impact build paths across every role, from early-game laning to late-game team fights.
