Keystone masteries are new "big impact" masteries and you should look into those more thoroughly no more mana potions no more sword of the occult no more Zephyr cant buy green wards- only trinkets, sight stone and trackers knife (upgraded jungle item) no more boot enchantments (until further notice) pink wards die in just 4 hits but regen health if left defended Cooldown reduction is more accessible to many classes scuttle crab gives vision in the river and gives a speed boost when passing over it last whisper builds into 2 counterparts and only affects bonus armor so it isn't a general "deal more physical damage" item executioners calling is back but people still don't buy it even though it's better now Athene's is a support-oriented item now mages build mana instead of mana regen rotating game modes every weekend Afk jungle stacking items are gone and replaced by a new bloodrazor for attack speed champions Sterak's gage is an item that increases base ad and gives a shield when taking a lot of damage very quickly Ohmwrecker is still useless Iceborn Gauntlet slow size scales with armor Randuin's reduces crit damage Warmogs gives 10% cdr and restores health ridiculously fast when you havent been hit for a while Zhonyas gives less ap but gives 10% cdr and is cheaper Abyssal gives 10% cdr and the aura scales with levels Banner of command promotes a minion and is actually useful Zeke's Harbinger links 2 champions and temporarily gives 50% crit chance and 20% ap boosts to both for a while. Deadman's plate gives armor, hp, and a speed boost Righteous Glory speed boost only works on the user but the boost is massive Catalyst doesn't restore health and mana upon leveling and instead you get those back through taking damage and casting spells Thornmail deals more damage based on how much armor you have Duskblade is a new item for assassins that is a mini Zed ult Gunblade doesn't have lifesteal or spell vamp but instead heals off of all damage dealt New ap item called hextech protobelt that gives you a dash Guinsoo's Rageblade deals tons of damage when you have it stacked Trinity Force gives 20% cdr and more attack speed but gives no crit or ap No more spell vamp except through runes and masteries New Zz'Rot Portal item spawns voidlings that attack towers over time Vlad is now based around this lack of spell vamp and his E charges up but doesn't pass through units Death's Dance is a new item that gives lifesteal that works on physical damage abilities and converts some damage you take into a DoT Titanic Hydra is a Ravenous Hydra for health stackers Phantom dancer is now the dueling crit item Essence Reaver is now good and is based on crit Runaan's bolts can crit now Statikk Shiv is better for waveclear New Rapidfire Cannon gives your next attack bonus range and is the best zeal upgrade for sieging Support items can be fused with sightstone into a single item CDR boots also reduce summoner spell cooldowns Barrier is on a shorter cooldown Ignite reveals units Teleport isn't up as often as it was Ghost's speed now scales with level No more clarity or clairvoyance dragon is now split into 4 elemental dragons. they are random and grant unique stacking buffs. only the elder dragon spawns after 35 minutes and increases other dragon effects while giving the burn effect rift herald is in the baron pit and will be there until baron spawns. it gives a 20 minute buff to one champion that persists through death. QSS only cleanses crowd control and not debuffs like trundle ult Graves has an actual shotgun now Veigar gets stacks from just hitting other champions Corki deals mostly magic damage even when building full ad Teemo shrooms only last 5 minutes Quinn zooms around the map with her new ult Gangplank got a rework and now has a minigame with barrels Kog'Maw can reach 5.0 attack speed Zilean can level up his teammates Zyra seeds passively spawn around her Malzahar gets a shield when out of combat that makes him cc immune and only takes 10% damage while it's up. Also summons voidlings with w. Ahri is a mage again; not an assassin Cassiopeia can't buy boots but get ms/level and has a new "grounded" effect where you can't use movement abilities Brand's new passive explodes the enemy team Karma is being used in competitive (idk either) Annie has less burst but tibbers is more important after he is summoned everyone can see when red and blue buffs are about to respawn towers are in a good place defensively and offensively but back dooring is pretty ineffective new client is underway which will allow riot to make some important adjustments they haven't been able to solo Q is gone and has been replaced by the more team-based Dynamic Q
