More items = more stats = stronger champion. Gold is your ticket to these power-ups, earned by taking down anything in your way—enemy champs, minions, monsters, and structures. To cash in, head back to your fountain where the item shop awaits. Choose items that fit your champ and role; you'll find standard builds online, but feel free to get creative.
Let’s take a look at my two favorite champions - Hecarim and Evelynn - and see the similarities and differences between the stats of each based on their items built:
Hecarim (first picture) often leans towards items that amplify his attack damage, movement speed and health, such as Eclipse and Spear of Shojin. That is why his AD and defensive stats is significantly higher than Evelynn's.
Evelynn (second picture) thrives on AP and burst damage. She opts for items like Lich Bane and Hextech Rocketbelt to maximize her magic damage, because her ability scales with AP.
These distinct item builds cater to each champion's strengths and playstyles. The beauty of League lies in the diversity of strategies—what works for Hecarim might not suit Evelynn, and vice versa, offering endless possibilities for mastery and creativity.
