In brief
AI summaryLeague of Legends Mythic items can be bought once per game and boost all other Legendary items; in November 2020 marksmen had Galeforce, Kraken Slayer and Immortal Shieldbow.
LoL Kraken Slayer suits games against at least 2 tanks because every third attack deals bonus True Damage, while Immortal Shieldbow suits at least 2 assassins with its 150 to 650 Shield.
Galeforce grants +3% Move Speed to other Legendary items and was less popular than the other two, though it suits champions like Ashe, Jinx and Xayah.

We know how confusing the item changes made before Season 11 in League of Legends have been, so we have prepared item guides for every role!
This guide covers the Mythic items that came to League of Legends for Marksmen in the new season. Without further ado, let's look at what Mythic and Legendary items are and how they work.
What Are Mythic Items and How Do They Work?
Mythic items can be bought only once per game, and they give powerful passive bonuses to all of your other Legendary items, and they are much stronger than the other items in the game's tiers. The easiest way to understand which items to build in the new season is to understand how Mythic items work. The Mythic item you build will vary depending on the champion you play or the enemy team's champions. We wanted to answer these questions for you.
What Are Legendary Items and How Do They Work?
Legendary items are all the other items, the non-Mythic ones we were already using before Season 11. In short, they are the items we already know, which you can buy in any quantity and which will be affected by Mythic item bonuses. Without dragging this out, let's move on to the Mythic items built for Marksmen/ADCs.

How Do You Use Mythic Items, and Who Should You Build Them Against?
Building Mythic items according to the enemy team's composition makes the bonuses you get from these items even more valuable. So which champions should you build these items against?
Against teams with a lot of burst damage, you should build Immortal Shieldbow. If the enemy team has at least 2 assassins, the shield the item provides gives you a chance to withstand their burst damage and steal health.
Champions Immortal Shieldbow Is Good Against
Kayn, Katarina, Fizz, Evelynn, Ekko, Kha'Zix, Rengar, Zed
When the enemy team has at least 2 tanks, Kraken Slayer will be your best option. Since it makes every 3rd hit deal true damage, this item will help you melt tanks.
Champions Kraken Slayer Is Good Against
Kled, Malphite, Nasus, Nautilus, Urgot, Darius, Garen, Illaoi
Champions You Can Build Galeforce On
Ashe, Caitlyn, Jinx, Miss Fortune, Sivir, Twitch, Varus, Xayah
Galeforce, on the other hand, remains a generally unpreferred item, although it is more popular on champions without escape abilities. As of November 2020, the properties of the other 2 Mythic items are preferred more by both professionals and other high-Elo players. But if the champion you play has low mobility, we recommend trying it.
