3) You remind me of the person who complained about his champion 'not getting buff' even though the champion's cooldowns were going down and the missile speeds were increasing. His foundation of his argument was because the 'damage' was not directly being increased. The same implies here.

When looking at an item, everything about the item matters. That includes what it builds off from, the stats it provides, the amount of stats it provide, the effects it gives, and the cost of the item. Improving one of the aspects is a overall buff. Making the ease of grabbing an item is a buff, even if it doesn't improve the stats directly. I looks like you're trying to explain things to me under the assumption that I've misunderstood something basic. I don't think I've given you enough information to locate my misunderstandings (if I have made any). If you want to do this, I'll play along with it and help you find them. It frustrates me to see you saying things I agree with while trying to change my mind on something.

I would rather you help me find out if the example I gave is illustrative. Does it seem like there is a complication in using this heuristic to compare tier 2 items to each other? It's OK if it's something you think is minor or irrelevant. Has it made you slightly uneasy? I did not intend my second post (or this one) to be an argument. If you read it as one, it probably didn't make sense.
