Items in League of Legends help a player's champion fight on the battlefield. They can be used for many things from raising a champions attack power to building higher armor for defensive purposes. Usually they improve a champion's stats, but some items aid in the strategy of the game. For example, Wards reveal areas of a map that would usually be hidden by the fog of war for a short duration. They help alert you and your teammates when eneimes are approaching or help plan an ambush when you, or your team, see the enemy but they don't see you.
Items are bought from the in-game shop and each player is given a total of 6 items slots, so it is important to choose your final items carefully as there are many to choose from. At this time, the Champions Rengar and Viktor, have specific items unique to them where (when playing them) they are the only ones who can purchase that item from the shop. League of Legends Items can be put into five categories. Below is a list of League of Legends Items:
