The LoL Preseason 2023 patch notes have been revealed, and one of the biggest changes will come to items. Sure, the jungle is going to be updated, and we're getting a new champion as well, but these item changes are huge.
Some of our favorite older items are coming back in 2023 and other items are going to be updated to hopefully give certain champions more of a chance, especially in the top lane. So let's go over each and every new, updated and old item from the LoL Patch 12.22.

Navori Quickblades
According to RiotPhlox we're also getting some adjustments to Navori Quickblades as well on the PBE server. The item is going to be exclusive with Infinity Edge and all of its attacks will get refunds, not just the crit hits.

Archangel's Staff, Seraph's Embrace and Gargoyle Stoneplate were also supposed to get some changes, but all of those have been reverted on the PBE ahead of the preseason 2023 going live.
These are all the upcoming item changes Riot is implementing in the League of Legends preseason. Though, we do think that mages are missing some opportunities to gain ability haste.
