Items Store

As explained earlier, throughout a game players earn gold, which can be spent on additional items, so their champions could grow stronger. Items store is divided into different categories: starting (trunks, wards) consumables (e.g. potions, wards), defense (armour, magic resist), attack (attack speed or damage), magic (ability power, mana regeneration), and movement (boots, attack items). Additionally, each champion has his own tab with recommended items, which suggests what may be worthy of your hard-earned gold. On the right, you can see the building path for a given item. After expanding the recommended tab, you can replace it with an beforehand prepared card of item sets. Purchased items will appear in one of 6 small boxes at the bottom. You can also sell them (using sell button) to reclaim some of the gold spent on them.
