A major update will always have item changes with a series of nerfs and buffs to different items. Items like Guardian Greaves which is picked every single game, we have seen mid laners picking up Greaves, if not some offlaners like Pangolier or Dark Seer.

Greaves is an extremely good item in the patch and it won't be surprising if it gets the nerf hammer.

Similarly, Vladimir's Offering has seen an upside to its pick rate too, giving decent mana regeneration and lifesteal aura is a huge advantage for early pushing teams.

Spirit Vessel is another one of the mandatory items which position fours sometimes even position fives pick, it helps to kill tanky heroes.

On the other hand, items such as Heart of Tarrasque, Aeon Disk, Octarine Core and Holy Locket can receive buffs to them as they are very useless in the patch and are rarely getting picked.
