Items Added, Removed, and Adjusted In LoL Preseason 2024 As Riot Abandons The Mythic System

Preseason 2024 of League of Legends is bringing a lot of new stuff, with Item changes being a big part of that.

Riot is going completely ham on the Preseason in League of Legends. 2024 is going to be a massive overhaul for League of Legends as there are a lot of Summoner’s Rift changes.

The map changes are the first big changes, with Riot making the map more symmetrical. Also, a lot of the terrain is being changed so that lanes have more of a chance to duel and gain individual leads without a jungler’s support.

Also, Riot is adding Void Grubs and Mites along with changes to Rift Herald and Baron Nashor. All of them have newer mechanics, with Baron Nashor making other monsters like the Scuttle Crab stronger.

The last of the major changes are the ones to the item system. Mythic items have been scrapped and many items are being removed. In light of that, Riot is adding more items and also adjusting many existing ones. Here is all we know so far.

Voltaic Cyclosword

Riot is coming up with an alternative to Prowler’s Claw as it is better in terms of what it does. Voltaic Cyclosword will deal more Energized damage, and deal a slow when Melee champions use it. Pretty nice, especially when this item used The Brutalizer, which was removed a long time back.

New Enchanter Items

There’s minor adjustments to the current Enchanters items along with two items being removed but two being introduced.

Dawncore

This item is very unique given the use of it. It is the only item that will exist that will decrease Summoner Spell Cooldown. It is rare for Riot to add an item like this but it is interesting, to say the least.

New Mage Items

There will be some new mage items that will serve as different archetypes to build into. There are AoE items, executes, and such. Here they are.

Caster’s Companion

If you want more multi-target burst damage as a Mage, here is the item for you. This item gains Shot Charges, and then damage abilities consume all those Charges to deal extra damage to multiple targets.

Also, if there are no nearby other targets, the primary target takes a portion of that exact damage. Here are all the stats and details.

• Cost: 3000 gold
• Item Recipe: Lost Chapter + Hextech Alternator + 700 gold.
• Ability Power: 90
• Ability Haste: 20
• Mana: 600
• Unique Passive – Load:

  • If there are insufficient targets in range, for each remaining Shot, repeat the damage on the primary target, dealing 35% of the damage.

Cryptbloom

As Riot added more items, they created Cryptbloom, a unique item in its own right. For mages, this is more of a defensive item that will create a healing nova that will heal the champion. You have some neat damage stats, but this one is primarily all about that Passive.

It is a very interesting concept and one that will have some good uses, especially for Burst Mages.

• Cost: 2850 gold
• Item Recipe: Blighting Jewel + Fiendish Codex + 850 gold.
• Ability Power: 70.
• Ability Haste: 15.
• Magic Penetration: 30%.
• Passive – Life From Death:
  • Whenever you get a takedown on an enemy champion within 3 seconds of damaging them, create a healing nova on their location that heals allies for 50 (+50% AP).
  • Cooldown: 60 seconds.

Haunting Guise

Riot is bringing back Haunting Guise as we are getting more burn damage for Mages.

• Cost: 1300 Gold.
• Build Path: Amplifying Tome + Ruby Crystal + 500 Gold.
• Ability Power: 35.
• Health: 200.
• Passive – Madness:
  • For each second in combat with enemy champions, deal 2% bonus damage (maximum of 6%).

Malignance

• Cost: 3000 Gold.
• Build Path: Lost Chapter + Fiendish Codex + 900 Gold.
• Ability Power: 80.
• Ability Haste: 20.
• Mana: 600.
• Ultimate Power: Gain 15 Ability Haste for your Ultimate.
• Ultimate Flames:
• Whenever you damage an enemy champion with your Ultimate, burn the ground beneath them for 3 seconds, dealing 60 (+6% AP) magic damage every second and reducing their Magic Resistance by (6 – 12 [based on level]) for as long as they are on the burning ground.

Stormsurge

Riot introduces a unique Burst item more Mages where the item does a delayed damage for some execute. The item has many Passives as you need to fulfill a condition to deal that burst. So, it is all about Burst damage champion as you have to deal 35% of their Health within 3 seconds to apply Stormsurge to deal burst damage.

What’s nice is that if they die to the Stormsurge, it explodes and also gives 30 extra gold. Pretty neat if i say so myself. However, it will be a balancing issue as the item seem very strong.

• Cost: 2900 Gold.
• Build Path: Hextech Alternator + Aether Wisp + 950 Gold.
• Ability Power: 90.
• Magic Penetration: 10.
• Movement Speed: 5%.
• Passive – Stormraider:
  • Dealing 35% of a champion’s Maximum Health within 3 seconds applies Stormsurge to them and grants the user 25% movement speed for 2 seconds.
  • 20 second cooldown.
• Passive – Stormsurge:
  • After 2 seconds, Stormsurge strikes the target with lightning, dealing 100 – 200 (based on level) (+ 50% AP) magic damage to them.
  • If they die to the lightning or before the lightning strikes, it detonates immediately in a large area around them and you gain 30 gold.

New Marksmen Items

Galeforce is finally gone, as Riot is introducing Terminus as another new item to the Marksmen list.

Terminus

This one is interesting as Terminus lets you alternate between Light and Dark On-Hits with various effects. How exactly that process works is unknown but it is pretty interesting for Marksman champions.

• Cost: 3200 Gold.
• Build Path: Recurve Bow + Last Whisper + Dagger + 750 Gold.
• Attack Damage: 40.
• Attack Speed: 30%.
• Passive – Shadow:
  • Attacks apply 30 magic damage on-hit.

  • Alternate between Light and Dark on-hits each attack.
  • Light attacks grant 3-5 armor and magic resist (up to 15-25) for 5 seconds.
  • Dark attacks grant 6% armor penetration and magic penetration (up to 30%) for 5 seconds.

New Support Items

Riot is reworking how Support items work alongside Quests. This will get more customizations and allow players to make choices on items. The system is becoming simpler, and more player-driven, which is always nice in my books. Here is all that Riot has revealed thus far, with the singular Support Quest item that is upgraded based on player choice.

World Atlas

This is Tier 1 of the Support items. It works similarly to the previous Quest items that require players to earn 500 gold to upgrade it. However, this time around, World Atlas will be the only Tier 1 Support item, so every Support is buying this.

What’s even more interesting is that the item will cost only 40 gold. Yes, that is not a typo. It’s a shocking change, and Riot intends to go through with this. What a fun time for Supports.

• Cost: 40 Gold.
• Health: 30.
• Mana Regeneration: 25%.
• Health Regeneration: 25%.
• Item grants 3 gold per 10 seconds.
• Gold Generation: Gain a charge every 18 seconds, up to 3 charges. While near an ally, consume a charge to gain via one of the following processes.
  • Damaging enemy champions or structure grant 30/28 (melee/ranged) gold.
  • Killing a minion by any means grants you 20 gold and grants your nearest ally the same amount of gold, which will be the same amount as them killing the minion.
• Support Quest: Earning 500 Gold from this item transforms it to Runic Compass and grants you ward charges.

Runic Compass

This is the Tier 2 Support item, which is just a better version of the World Atlas. Here are all the details.

• Cost: Upgraded from World Atlas via Support Quest.
• Health: 100.
• Mana Regeneration: 50%.
• Health Regeneration: 50%.

  • Damaging enemy champions or structure grant 34/32 (melee/ranged) gold.

• Support Quest: Earning 1000 Gold from this item transforms it to Bounty of Worlds and grants you ward charges.

Bounty of Worlds

This item is the Tier 3 version and serves as a placeholder until the player upgrades the items. Once upgraded, Bounty of Worlds transforms into that item. Overall, it still has the same stats as Runic Compass, but it signals that you should upgrade your Support Item.

• Cost: Upgraded from Runic Compass via Support Quest.
• Health: 100.
• Mana Regeneration: 50%.
• Health Regeneration: 50%.

So like Thornmail, Hollow Radiance is going to deal Magic Damage per second to nearby enemies after the user takes or deals damage. The duration of the effect is refreshed when the condition is fulfilled of taking or dealing damage.
