I wouldn't be surprised if most of them are added to Summoner's Rift. Riot stated that they intend for the icon remake to steer people away from cookie-cutter/"core" items. Wooglet's Witchcap, for example: it's not longer a strong first item, or at least not recommended as a first item, but still serves the same function as Rabadon's later into the build.

Riot said they want people to buy effects, rather than just becoming powerhouses. They mentioned at one point about putting the Guardian Angel passive on a weaker item, so that one of the best tank items doesn't also have the GA effect.
