The LoL patch 14.10 item changes are enormous, with massive reworks to multiple items. In particular, Marksman items are hugely different.
This is likely part of an effort to restore power to critical strike-based AD Carries, who have been struggling to hit the same power as they did in the past. Instead, many ADCs began to prefer Lethality or on-hit builds.
However, while the marksman items are the main event, there was plenty of changes and new options for the rest of the cast too.
