Trivia
- This item is the result of the separation of the offensive and defensive stats of the Ring of Zhonya Ring of Zhonya. This is the offensive object, while the
Zhonya's Hourglass is the defensive counterpart. - It was originally called Banksy's Death Hat in the release notes trailers. This was a tribute to one of Riot's employees named Banksy (David Banks, Director of Platform Engineering).
- The object's image appears to be based on the Sorting Hat from the Harry Potter franchise. A pair of eyes and a ribbon that looks like a mouth are observed in it, very similar to such a hat.
- Not counting other skill power items, runes, and masteries, the Rabadon's Death Hat grants 162 ability power alone. Upgrading from its components adds 42 APs.
- While it has the potential to be the single greatest source of Ability Power in the game, it is rarely purchased from Rabadon's Death Hat as the first item, since its passive requires other items of ability power to be fully effective, to the point that the item is barely profitable on its own, while the vast majority of items of higher value are profitable for a large margin.
- It is also somewhat difficult to build at the beginning of the game as one of its components is quite expensive, making it difficult to buy it without having kills or other gold income.
