League of Legends: Massive AP Item Changes Arriving In Patch 25.10

[COSMIN]

Mage items are receiving some massive changes in the upcoming patch.

AP items have been quite strong for a while, especially items with innate survivability. Items like Rod of Ages, Liandry’s Torment, and Seraph’s Embrace have been dominating the meta. These items are currently so strong that every mage uses them almost every game. Even traditional burst mages like Ahri and Syndra, who typically rely on raw AP and magic penetration, have started picking them up.

Which is why for Patch 25.10, Riot is making some massive changes to Mage itemization. In the patch, Riot is finally nerfing the strong AP items. Rod of Ages was already nerfed in the previous patch, and in the upcoming patch, Riot is nerfing both Liandry’s Torment and Seraph’s Embrace.

Riot is also making changes to AP burst items. They are buffing the burst AP items so that mages are more incentivized to buy them. In addition to these, there are a ton more changes. So without further ado, let’s dive into the AP item changes coming in Patch 25.10.
