League of Legends Preseason 2023 New and Updated Items!

League of Legends Preseason 2023 will introduce over a dozen new and updated items, alongside the changes to jungle and pings.

This Preseason update not only touches up the items but will also see the return of the Chemtech Drake. Changes to the jungle are geared towards making the role more approachable with the addition of leashing range indicators, recommended jungle paths, and jungle pets. Lastly, communication is being improved with a total of 6 new pings, including an easier way to track vision around the map and voting over taking objectives.

Preseason Head Designer Matt “Riot Phroxzon” Leung-Harrison took to Twitter to provide more context behind these changes. “Tank items aim to let players purchase primarily against their lane opponent and a mix of Mythic 1st and 2nd depending on game,” he said.

“Things will be in a pretty early state when you first see them, so expect changes to things like icons, item and effect names, visual and sound effects, stat values, and more as we continue to test features during PBE,” Riot Games' Marketing Communications Lilu “Riot Riru” Cabreros said on the official preview post. “When the patch notes come out, they'll have all the final details as usual.”

The changes will heavily affect tank the most, as their Mythic items were heavily altered. Sunfire Cape and Turbo Chemtank are no longer Mythic items, Frostfire Gauntlet is now back to being Iceborn Gauntlet (with the return of the Spellblade effect on the item), and the addition of three new Mythics. Along with these, the Rod of Ages also makes a return, and it now grants you a level when fully stacked. Spear of Shojin once again makes its way onto the game, but with a different effect than its previous overpowered iteration.
