Other items
Archangel's Staff
Cosmic Drive
Cosmic Drive has been niche and unpopular for a while now. This stat change aims to make this item a more attractive purchase for damage-focused mages.
Plated Steelcaps
Plated Steelcaps will now check for a much wider range of auto attacks so that when you bonk someone with a staff it really will be protected by Steelcaps.
Seraph's Embrace
Seraph's got a breath of new (old?) life with the return of its shield and Ability Power, quickly becoming one of the most powerful mage items. As a result, most of the current meta mid-laners are those who can purchase Archangel's and use it to the fullest. We're doing a small efficiency nerf here to bring the outlier down a bit. However, our longer term goal is to increase mage item satisfaction and the overall power of the class by trimming some power from it’s stronger itemization options while simultaneously buffing its weaker ones.
Runes you recently played

Other runes
Grasp of the Undying
Healing from runes has crept up over time due to the durability patch last year and other system buffs like the updated tank items from preseason. These changes aim to slightly lower that "invisible" healing not coming from items. Grasp of the Undying has been benefitting fighters more than tanks with the power of its heal, and this change aims to lower the overall power of the heal component and increase the stacking tank stats to make the change feel less painful for its tank users.
Triumph
This Triumph change is meant to be a net nerf that flattens the extremes of the rune leading to slightly more healing when it matters less (high hp) and slightly less healing when it matters more (low hp) with an even breakpoint around the 35% hp mark.
