League of Legends Mythic Items have been announced as one of the most exciting additions for the upcoming Season 11. The new Mythic Items were announced by Riot's Safelocked in a recent developer blog.

While we don't have the full list of Mythic Items, we know their basic concept and how they will fit into the game. Let's take a look at everything we know about League of Legends' new Mythic Items!

League of Legends Mythic Items: What Are They?

League of Legends Mythic Items are a new class of item designed to drive your champion's build path for an entire game. You can only possess one of these items at any given time and they are meant to be extremely powerful.

While these items will cost you a big bag of gold, they will grant you special abilities or effects that will seriously augment your champion's play style. The idea is that you recognize the objectives that you need to fulfill in order to win the game, and purchase an item that fits accordingly.

So far, Riot Games has released three Mythic Items that are intended for marksman champions. Keep in mind that these items are still a work in progress, and subject to change.

Riot Games has also mentioned that they are planning to elevate some existing items to mythic status. Shurelya's Reverie, Locket of the Iron Solari, and Rabadon's Deathcap have all been rumored to be strong candidates to become Mythic Items.

League of Legends Mythic Items Release Date

The Mythic Items are expected to be part of Season 11, which will roll out in early 2021. The Mythic Items will need a great deal of balancing and beta testing, so expect them to appear on PBE before the year is over.
