League of Legends’s season 10 is reaching its end and occasionally (usually with each season) Riot Games decides to update a few features. Whether it be how a champion looks, or updating certain item statistics. This time though, Riot will be introducing a new look for some League of Legends items. Some of them being: BF Sword, Bramble Vest and Rabadon’s Deathcap
Why are these items getting an updated look?
Updating a game, no matter how small, always keeps the game fresh and with a new feeling. Always something to learn and work around. Despite these changes only being visual changes, they are still necessary for the game to keep itself updated and fresh. Here below is a very clear comparison of the appearance of both BF swords (New & Old):

Community reactions
The new look for league of legends items, did not come without any backlash. Most of the active League of Legends players have fallen in love with the art style of the game, especially when it comes to items. So Riot changing how an item looks like will definitely not always have a positive impact.
new art style is very beautiful and clean

my feedback:
1. BF = more light to outstand it more
2. rabadon need the old design,is losing his personality, use the current icon on wild rift, but with the new art
3. bramble looks mixing with the BG, more contrast to make it better pic.twitter.com/0COtTvPN6w
When will the upgraded item icons be available?
At the time of writing, Riot’s plan for the update is to keep everything as is until the end of the season, and when the preseason arrives, they will release the new look for league of legends items as well as the rest of the changes altogether.
There are many changes coming to League of Legends heading into the preseason, so hang tight, and make sure you tune in to www.esportsguide.com for all your latest esports news!
