What Are Snowball Items in "League of Legends"?
League of Legends is an online game based on the Defense of the Ancients (DoTA) map for "Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne" released in 2009. Players are split into two teams of one to five champions with a nexus, or main building, on each side. A team wins if they destroy the other team's Nexus. Your champion levels up and becomes stronger with more kills or by purchasing items, including snowball items.

Snowball Trio
-
The "League of Legends" snowball trio includes Leviathan, Mejai's Soulstealer and Sword of the Occult.
These items are unique because they stack, or get stronger, with each kill or assist you get on a character; minions do not count. They max out at 20 stacks. Once you max out, you gain an additional power or perk. When you die, you lose 1/3 of your total stack. While you can have more than one of these items in your possession at a time, having multiples does not increase your stack or power any more than a single one.
Mejai's Soulstealer
-
Mejai's Soulstealer is a snowball item you get by combining an Amplifying Tome (435g) with 800g. It is an advanced ability power that awards you 20 ability points. Your character gets 8 more ability power for each stack. Once you stack it 20 times, your character's cooldown time reduces by 15 percent. The characters that benefit most from using Mejai's Soulstealer include Akali, Anivia, Brand, Evelynn, Janna, Kassadin, Katarina, Kayle, Kennen, Lux, Orianna, Sion, Sona, Soraka, Veigar and Vladimir.
