User blog:Danz The Pure/Item upgrade paths from weakest to greatest

It is obvious someone has already come to this idea, but anyway I want to raise this topic.

Why do mid-tier basic items exist without being built of something weaker?

I am talking about items such as or. Why are they bought in the shop just as they are instead of upgrading from something less expensive?

Let's discuss build paths:

Of course that leads to increase in upgrade stages, but makes game a lot more smooth and logical when greater is built from lesser. Everyone experienced clumsy situations when you are pressed hard in lane and must buy  but lack 200 gold for it. You either can't wait in base nor go fighting because enemy bought B.F. and has now a lead.

Those advanced items which require weakest basic items will still require them. But items like infinity edge will have ext

ended build paths.



P.S. Those templates. Using them first time.
