Item changes
The list of pre-season item changes is colossal, so we’re linked to Riot’s complete summary of all Myth and Legendary item changes for you to delve into here (the post also has deets on which items are new and removed) .
“We are about to debut at PBE for a six-week-long testing period,” says Riot in the post, “and we want to share a preview of the 22 new mythical items you can expect for this November, in addition to a few dozen new and updated Legendary items. This is not a complete picture of the entire item update it has to offer, but we wanted to focus our first look at the most splashed item levels.
“Cleaning note : Things will be in a very early state when you first see them, but expect changes to things like icons, item names and effects, visual and sound effects, statistical values and more as we polish all over the course of our PBE month and a half! Except with massive table entries, such as item additions, removals or rework, however, this preview page will not be updated after publication. The item system will be immensely changed in the preseason, and documenting our attunement tuned for this review before it goes live will not help players understand what to do on the first day. When patch notes come out, they will have all the details as usual.
Targeting no change to Gold Efficiency on items after preseason
More satisfaction – yes
More choices – yes
More power – noEg legendaries have a reduction in stats to make room for the new Mythic passives
Not everything is tuned yet, but wanted to put our goals out there

Champion Skins
PBE Preview: Tales from the Rift

The company has even been particularly active by integrating no less than 9 new skins. Among them, 5 belong to the Odyssey theme, which may presuppose a new temporary event.
Kassadin also received a Hextech skin. He joined the closed circle of the privileged, where we already find champions like Amumu, Alistar or Poppy. To get this skin, however, you will have to be patient and/or spendy, the time to accumulate several rare gems (10).
These 9 new skins have just been announced, so we are waiting for more visuals and more information. For example, we do not know the price of some. There could also be some modifications (details, colours…) as the PBE server remains a test server. We advise you to come back regularly to our follow-up so as not to miss anything!
