AI summaryRiot Games lead designer Jeevun Jag Sidhu announced on the official League of Legends blog that 3 new items are coming to LoL.
League of Legends' new tank item, similar to Knight's Vow, links its user to an enemy champion to reduce damage taken and shred armor and magic resist up close.
Riot is reworking Sanguine Blade with a new look and new properties in upcoming patches to make it more appealing for AD champions.
According to a statement by Riot Games lead designer Jeevun Jag Sidhu on the official League of Legends blog, 3 new items are being added to LoL. The first of the new items is a Tank item similar to Knight's Vow. However, there are serious differences between them. The new tank item links its user to an enemy champion instead of an allied champion. As a result, the player using the item takes less damage from the chosen enemy player and, when close enough, shreds the enemy's armor and magic resist.
Another item shows properties similar to the legendary Zhonya's Hourglass. This item, which helps protect its user from burst damage and keep them alive, may upset some mid lane champions. This is because the item has been designed and developed for support characters.
As for the last new item, you might say it already exists. However, because its properties will change completely and it will come with a brand-new look, Riot Games has managed to promote it as a new item as well. In the upcoming patches, Riot Games is working to make Sanguine Blade more appealing for AD champions. Sanguine Blade, which had been put away on the dusty shelves of Summoner's Rift, looks set to become a favorite of many players in the upcoming patches!
