10.23 Patch Preview – PRESEASON!
It's a big preseason, so much is changing that we don't have our typical champion buffs and nerfs.

Headliner for the Preseason this year will be the revamped item system. Expanded by two categories it promises to shake up the meta quite a bit. There will be 23 new Mythic items in addition to 13 Legendaries and 9 Epics. Even 28 already existing Legendaries are getting a rework.
10.23 will also introduce the new ability “Haste”.
A simple comparison to help understand Ability Haste is that it's just like Armor / MR. You can get as much of it as you want and the value is always the same.

It will replace the current cooldown reduction, but it can only be activated through specific items, buffs or runes. In exchange it will also allow you to reduce the cooldown of several Mythics which can become key in heated teamfights.

In addition to all the items 13 champions were adjusted to the new system and 30 champions even got a specific change to their mana pools. It is not yet clear how the new “Jungle Starter” items will work.
Mythic Items for each Champion Type
The Preseason patch introduces mythical and legendary items. While the mythics will be restricted to one champion each game, they will also be tailor mode for each type of champion. There will be Tank Mythics, Assasin Mythics and so on.
These items are tweaked in a way to allow them to counter the itembuilds of champions strong against their type. For example “Liandry’s Anguish” will allow your damage to also add a HP percentage based portion to it.
