League of Legends (LoL) Season 14 is getting big changes, with the main feature being items! This is a good thing, though, as these updates make the game fun and create different ways to play.
Players can see the bigger changes in the game with updated boots such as the Symbiotic Souls. Riot also reworked AD items like Bloodthirster and Bork, and new items such as the Blackfire Torch and Yum Tal’s Wind Arrows have been added.
These updates bring more variety and excitement to players’ builds while refreshing and shifting the meta.
Now, let’s examine which changes were made:
It is available as a boots upgrade after reaching level 15. It provides 40% attack speed and 65% movement speed. It also reduces slows by 20%.
Synchronized Souls / Symbiotic Boots replace Mobility Boots and makes for a perfect choice for roaming champions! It is a new type of movement speed item with a special feature. It gives you 35 extra movement speed. Your recall is also upgraded. Returning to your base is now even faster, like Baron recall, only better. Once you’ve covered 150,000 units of distance, you also gain an additional 45 movement speed when you’re not in combat.
The Amplifying Tome inspires it. It adds extra damage to enemies every time your abilities hit them. It works even better against monsters.
Made from a Dagger, it gives 20% attack speed. It also deals extra damage when you hit champions. The cooldown gets shorter with each auto-attack.
It adds burn damage based on your abilities. It also increases your AP for every enemy hit by the burn.
This item gives extra bonuses, including attack damage (AD), that increase based on your bonus health.
This new item gives attack damage (AD), boosts critical strike chance, and adds extra damage for every critical hits.
