Riot Games plans to remove Mythic Items from League of Legends in 2024
Riot Games has been addressing the issues of balancing gameplay systems in League of Legends with the introduction of Mythic goods. With each champion and job able to build in different ways, the present item system is being reformed, including the complete removal of Mythics in 2024.
Galeforce and Other Items Will Be Removed from the Shop
While some Mythic items will be altered to fit into the Legendary item class, Riot Games intends to remove some items from the shop entirely. This features the popular AD carry item Galeforce.
In a recent developer’s blog, lead designer Matt “Phroxzon” Leung-Harrison reveals that Mythic goods were originally intended to build distinct versions of League of Legends in which equipment enhanced champion fantasies. Galeforce, for example, allowed immobile AD champions to follow down adversaries, reposition themselves in combat, and evade hostile abilities. However, balancing these things around active champions proves difficult, especially when creating new champions.
Changes to Increase Stacking Items and Power Reduction
Riot Games intends to reinstate stacking goods and lower the power of old Mythics to ensure they do not outperform Legendary items. Major “kit warping items” such as Galeforce will be withdrawn from the shop, but “legacy exceptions” such as Zhonya’s Hourglass will remain.
Looking future, Riot Games intends to reduce item complexity by offering one different unique effect and a maximum of three stat boosters. To prevent excessive stat stacking, overall item power will be decreased.
While these adjustments may make some items less exciting, they will eventually allow League of Legends’ particular champions to shine brighter in their various positions.
