Okay, so I was looking at the item changes in League of Legends, right? And man, there are so many. I wanted to get a better grip on how these changes impact the game, especially for a casual player like me. So, I jumped into a few games to test things out.
Diving Into Games
First off, I launched the game and queued up for a normal match. I decided to play a couple of different roles to see the changes from various perspectives. Started with a top lane game, picking a tanky champion. I noticed the item changes really affect how tanky you can get early on. Some items got nerfed, others buffed, so I had to adjust my usual build path.

Experimenting with Builds
Then, I switched to playing a support. Supports got some interesting changes. I tried out a new build focused on the reworked support items. It felt pretty good, honestly. I could feel the impact of the changes in how much I could shield and heal my teammates. The gold generation felt different too, had to be more mindful of how I was using my abilities to maximize gold income.
- Started a game as a jungler.
- Experimented with the jungle item changes.
- Found that clearing camps felt a bit different, had to adjust my pathing.
- Noticed the changes to smite, which was interesting.
Mid Lane Changes
After that, I played a few games in the mid lane. This is where I really saw a big difference. Mage items got a lot of changes. I tested some of the new and reworked items. Some of them felt really strong, giving a lot of ability power and cool new effects. I had a few matches where I could really pop off with these new builds, dealing tons of damage.
Reflecting on the Changes
I spent a good chunk of the day playing and trying out different things. It was a bit overwhelming at first, but once I got the hang of it, it was pretty fun. I made sure to take notes on what worked and what didn’t. It’s gonna take a while to fully understand all the implications of these changes, but it’s definitely shaking things up in a good way, I think.
Overall, this little experiment was pretty enlightening. I got a better sense of how the item changes are impacting the game. It’s making me rethink my strategies and try out new things, which is always exciting. Still a lot to learn, but I’m looking forward to diving deeper into it.
