Is it possible to change “recommended Items”?

Question

I recognized some items which are listed as recommended in the shop menu are pretty useless for certain champion builds and it is better to get some other instead.

Because I am pretty new to LoL I find myself clicking through the shop menu for minutes, wasting time searching for items my friends recommended to me, which all could be spent farming or fighting.

Is there a way to change the list of recommended items for each champion? And if that is the case, is it possible to show more than one set of items for different Champion builds (like more focused on DPS or AP on Kog'Maw)?

Answer

There is no official support for changing your recommended items. However, several users have created workarounds through 3rd party programs to accomplish this.

I've used the one linked here with success, and it gets updated frequently enough and typically within a few days after patching. If you don't like that specific one, there's quite a few others floating around on the official League of Legends forums, as well as various other wiki sites.

I provide the link and echo the author with saying that using 3rd party programs to modify game files is to be done at your own risk, and there's no guarantee that this or any particular "mod" will be forever supported.

In response to your second question regarding multiple builds, at the moment there is no current way to setup different build layouts, as the recommended items tab is limited to 6 slots and 1 per character as per the game files.
