Will the upcoming patch fix the nerfed AP items?

Since the upcoming "League of Legends" patch 11.7 will only bring new skins, it is unlikely the Riot will update these items. However, since it is expected to happen on Mar. 31, the game developer might change its mind and provide new item updates.

Previously Blog of Legends reported that the current "League of Legends" patch 11.6 has badly nerfed some AP items. To give you more idea, here are the items that were changed:

Verdant Barrier

• MAGIC RESIST PER KILL: 0.5 ⇒ 0.3
• MAX MAGIC RESIST: 15 ⇒ 9
• ABILITY POWER: 25 ⇒ 20

Seeker's Armguard

• BONUS ARMOR PER KILL: 1 ⇒ 0.5
• MAX ARMOR: 30 ⇒ 15

Rabadon's Deathcap

• TOTAL COST: 3800 gold ⇒ 3600 gold

Luden's Tempest

• [NEW] ECHO COOLDOWN: Dealing ability damage to an enemy champion now also reduces Echo's cooldown by 0.5 seconds (up to 3 seconds per ability)

Liandry's Anguish

• [NEW] TORMENT BONUS DAMAGE: Liandry's now grants up to 12% bonus magic damage to champions based on their bonus health (maximum 1250 bonus health).
• [REMOVED] TORMENT MAGIC PENETRATION: Liandry's no longer grants 5% magic penetration per second against burning targets.

Although most of these changes seem to be quite unfair, Riot said that these adjustments' main goal is to give mid-laners more offensive power. But, they also lessen AP heroes' safety ability.
