Riot Games finally revealed more information about the upcoming new item class “Mythic Items” for the season 11 preseason.

In every preseason Riot tries to bring some significant changes to the Summoner’ Rift. In season 10 preseason, they brought changes to the Elemental Rifts which eventually changed the landscape of League of Legends. Likewise, for the upcoming season 11 preseason, they were teasing new item updates, new item class, and item system overhaul.

Last month, Riot revealed that they are giving some major updates to Healing, Grievous Wounds, and Tenacity. Moreover, they also gave some sneak peek on how the new item class might work in the 2021 preseason.

However, today, on the latest Riot Pls video, Riot breaks down this preseason’s item system overhaul and revealed some more gameplay information.
