Lead game designer of Riot Games, Matt “Phroxzon” Leung-Harrison, has announced that several items in League of Legends will be receiving changes in Patch 13.10.
“We’d like to ship medium+ sized system changes (like Durability Update) more than once a year and will be monitoring how players feel about this rate of change. Similar to the Durability Update, we wanted to solve several player painpoints and to add some exciting content,” – Matt Leung-Harrison.
The changes will be quite significant for certain Mythic items for assassins, AD carry and support mains. Although the details of the changes are still to be announced, only the Mythic items of assassins will be affected, whereas both Mythics and Legendaries of AD carry and support will be impacted.
On the other hand, fighters, mages, and tanks will only see minor changes to their items, with the Legendaries and components of mages being updated, and only the Legendaries of tanks tweaked. However, the Mythics and Legendaries of fighters are on the list, making it uncertain how the changes will affect them. Three new items will also be introduced in the game, which will further affect the game’s meta.
The changes are set to roll out on Wednesday, May 17th, with the official announcement of the details yet to come.
Riot Games have stated that they aim to solve the players’ pain points while adding more exciting content. It remains to be seen how these changes will affect the game’s balance and strategy.
