  • It's base AP got lowered from  35 to 25

Glacial Buckler

  • Its cost increased from 900 to 950
  • The item Glowing Mote got added to recipe
  • The Cloth and Sapphire remain unchanged

Haunting Guise

  • It's AP was lowered from 35 to 30

Hearthbound Axe

  • It's cost was lowered from 1200 to 1150
  • It's base AD was lowered from 20 to 15

Serrated Dirk

  • It's Lethality got lowered from 10 to 7

Spectre’s Cowl

  • The Item Rejuvenating  beads was added to recipe
  • The Cost remains unchanged
  • It's Health got decreased from 250 to 200
  • It's Health regen is now 150% base regen from 100% base regen
  • The Health regen is now flat, instead of based on damage taken

Steel Sigil

  • A second cloth armor was added to recipe
  • The total cost remains unchanged

Tunneler

  • It's cost was increased from 1100 to 1150

Verdant Barrier

  • Its cost got lowered from 1800 to 1700

Even though these numbers seem small, they will have a huge impact on the game. For instance, if an item's AD goes from 25 to 20, even though on paper its a small difference of 5, in reality its a 20% damage reduction! 

So for now we can expect to see champions that abuse these items to not be so dominating and be much more manageable.
