League of Legends Preseason 2024 is shaking up items, including adding a lot of mage items and changing already existing ones.
League of Legends Preseason 2024 New Mage Items
The first big change is that Mythics are gone, all across the board, causing a lot of the items to be rebalanced around this. Tooltips are also being changed for better readability. In total, four new items are being added while six old items are being removed. Other existing items have been changed.
These changes are currently on the League of Legends PBE server and will go live on League of Legends Patch 14.1 in January 2024. The official Gameplay Preview also notes that visuals, item names, effect names, stat values, and other aspects may change once these items go live.
