Shop

The Shop is an area in all League of Legends maps where Summoners can purchase items for their champions. Every shop is located near each team's spawn pool. A summoner can access the shop either by clicking it with the mouse cursor or by using the default Hotkey, "P". A champion must be in proximity of the shop for the summoner to obtain items. On Summoner's Rift This proximity includes most of the Spawn Pool and extends slightly out from it.

Organization
Items are organized first into five categories: Defense, Attack, Magic, Movement, and Consumables. The first three are broken down into further categories based on the statistics the items have. Items can be sorted under multiple categories if it contains that category's statistic. For example: would appear under both Damage and Life steal in the Attack category for its damage and life steal effects. Items in each category are sorted from the cheapest price to the most expensive.

The items are organized as the following: Stats that the shop does not cover:
 * Consumables
 * Defense
 * Health
 * Armor
 * Magic Resist
 * Health Regen
 * Tenacity
 * Attack
 * Damage
 * Critical Strike
 * Attack Speed
 * Life Steal
 * Magic
 * Ability Power
 * Cooldown Reduction
 * Spell Vamp
 * Mana
 * Mana Regen
 * Movement
 * Boots
 * Other movement items
 * Armor penetration
 * Magic penetration

Item availability
Items exclusive to a certain map will not appear on other maps. For example, will only appear in the shop on Howling Abyss and not on Summoner's Rift, The Crystal Scar, or Twisted Treeline.

Custom Item Sets
Players can create custom item sets in their summoner profile, creating their own combination of items that appear under the Recommended Build tab.

Recommended Builds
Following the recent update to League of Legends, the Recommended Builds has changed, being its own page in the shop, separated into four categories.

Starting Items describe items that Riot feels best work for that champion to start.

Essential Items are items that Riot believes are core to the champion, and should be bought.

Offensive Items are items that should be bought for your champion if you want to go for damage.

Defensive Items are items that should be bought for your champion if you want to take less damage.
